Quick Summary
Your Responsibilities
You take responsibility for the stable operation, maintenance, and as error-free as possible further development of our web application kanzlei.land. Currently, a significant part of the product is still based on PHP 8.4, Go, and React - at the same time, we are shaping the consistent transition to our new technical foundation.
Together with your team, you create the conditions for a transition to our new tech stack that is as smooth as possible. The consistent transition away from the legacy system is planned within the next 12 months.
You independently design and develop complex features and systems, harmonize technical and functional requirements, and contribute to product decisions from a technical perspective. In doing so, you think beyond pure implementation and take ownership of the topics you work on.
You ensure the quality of your work through clean code, solid software architecture, automated tests, and static analysis tools. We use PHPUnit, Cypress, PHPStan, and SonarQube, among others - and continuously develop our quality standards together.
You identify technical risks, problems, and opportunities for improvement early on, actively contribute to retrospectives and cross-team processes, and support other developers through knowledge sharing, mentoring, and target-group-oriented communication.
Your Profile
You have at least five years of experience in the development of web applications and bring profound knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, and relational databases - especially in the environment of MySQL / MariaDB.
Ideally, you have already gained practical experience with Go and/or React. Even more important to us, however, is that you are eager to dive deep into technologies (which may still be foreign to you) and actively shape the technological transformation of our product.
You have a good understanding of software architecture, advanced concepts of object-oriented programming, basic web concepts such as HTTP(S), as well as handling version control systems and UNIX-based operating systems.
Clean code, automated tests, careful conception, and thorough implementation are a matter of course for you. You do not just think in individual tickets, but understand technical decisions in a larger product and company context.
You are able to independently structure complex requirements technically, prioritize them sensibly, and think through them abstractly before starting the concrete implementation.
You bring a technology-agnostic mindset: You do not decide based on which technology you know best, but based on which solution makes sense for the respective problem. Programming languages are tools for you, not ideologies.
You gladly share your knowledge, support other developers, can reflect on your own limits, and actively seek help when it is necessary for a good result.
Bonus points for experience with Docker, GitLab CI, Terraform, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana, as well as agile methods, especially Scrum.
Very good German language skills are required.
Why Us?
Our Attitude
The basis for us and our cooperation is mutual trust. In order for us to build this up and work together in the long term, the following points are particularly important to us:
- Personal Maturity: For us, responsibility means acting consciously and caring about the impact of our actions. We are aware of our tasks and duties and are able to question our own behavior. We actively seek feedback on our actions and can admit mistakes. We communicate clearly with each other and can also address uncomfortable topics in the interest of the whole and endure tension.
- Ambition and Quality Standards: We are very ambitious and always want to do what we do really well. Mistakes are part of it and are completely fine. It is important to us to talk openly about them, learn from them, and do better next time.
- Friendliness: We highly value our friendly interaction with each other. This includes being open and honest with each other and being interested in each other. We are important to each other as people and take each other seriously.
We are primarily looking for people who fit in with us. We expect everyone who joins us to share this attitude and these values. We take the probationary period seriously and want to find out together in these first six months whether we are a good fit for each other.

Attractive Location

100% Home Office possible
Working from anywhere? In most cases, that is absolutely no problem with us. Whether North, East, South, or West. Our working locations are already colorful and spread across Germany.
Good Working Atmosphere
An excellent working atmosphere is particularly important to us. We love having fun with each other and maintain a cooperative and helpful culture of appreciation.
Performance-based Pay
Our compensation system puts your performance and the quality of your work at the forefront. Because outstanding performance must also be rewarded accordingly.
Flat Hierarchies
Good ideas and decisions are implemented together. Everyone takes responsibility for their actions. With us, the better argument counts, not the job title.
Training and Further Education
Constant learning: A key to success for us! We plan your training or further education together with you. Be it literature, seminars, online courses, or studies? Let's just talk about it.
Regular Team Events
Whether on-site or virtual. We regularly organize events so that we can get to know each other better. Whether a virtual escape room or a real Hamburg Kiez tour – the mix makes it!
No Investors
We are interested in a healthy company. Therefore, we decided against investor participation. We want to bear responsibility for our decisions together.
A lot of work
... anything else would be a flat-out lie ;-)
