About your new role
End-to-End Ownership
You develop and operate business and web services in the AWS Cloud.

You design and develop APIs (REST/GraphQL) for our mobile apps (Android & iOS).
You ensure that our services are scalable, stable, and performant—even under high load (e.g., peak events).

You introduce new technologies and tools and continuously improve our development processes (e.g., CI/CD, automation, AI tools).
Collaboration & Impact
You work closely with mobile engineers (iOS & Android) as well as backend colleagues.
You actively contribute to technical discussions and challenge existing solutions.
You share your knowledge within the team (e.g., through pair programming, code reviews, or tech talks).
You explain complex technical topics in a clear and understandable way, even for non-technical stakeholders.
You take responsibility within the team, e.g., in on-call rotations or during critical situations.
Skills & Requirements
Several years of experience in backend development (ideally ≥5 years with Kotlin/Java).
Experience with cloud architectures, especially AWS.
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform) and container technologies (e.g., Kubernetes).
Experience in designing and operating APIs (RESTful and/or GraphQL).
Knowledge of modern software architectures (e.g., microservices).

Fluent English skills.
Nice-to-have

You want to further your education? We take your personal development goals seriously and, in addition to our idealo Learning Hub, eLearning offerings (e.g., Udemy), coaching & mediation, we also offer you the opportunity to benefit individually from additional learning and development budget.
And what about the office? Our office in the heart of Berlin offers free organic breakfast, excellent free lunch (vegan and vegetarian), as well as free coffee, lemonades and after-work beer, in addition to the "standard foosball". It also has a fabulous rooftop terrace with view of the whole of berlin where you can network with colleagues from our group of companies.
In need of additional support in any areas of your life? We offer free counseling and support in all areas of life (professional, private, family, health, etc.) in cooperation with the pme-Familienservice.
You want full flexibility on your way to work and beyond? No problem with a job bike or Deutschlandticket - and it's environmentally friendly, too!
Want to keep yourself fit? We offer many different fitness and sports options, such as an Urban Sports or Gympass membership, to suit your personal needs.
And what else is there? Of course, success must be celebrated! In addition to team events, you can also expect big company events and other moments of organized connection with others in the company and your team throughout the year!
