(Senior) Software Engineer (m/f/d) - AI-First Development.

Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d), you own the technical delivery of a product or a large, self-contained feature area – from architecture to production. You make technology decisions independently, guided by what our customers really need rather than the literal wording of a specification. AI coding agents are your primary lever for delivery: you write specs, orchestrate agents and critically evaluate their results.

Your tasks

• You own the end-to-end technical delivery of your product or feature area, including architecture and technology decisions, such as the migration to PHP 8.5 or to the AWS cloud
• You work on core building blocks of our platform: PHP backend, MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB and Kubernetes (AKS/EKS)
• You translate customer needs into precise specs that coding agents can implement unambiguously, and you challenge requirements that don't hold up from a business perspective
• You evaluate AI-generated output based on results and tests, and systematically check for inconsistencies, hallucinations and bias
• You work as an equal partner with the Product Builder on solutions and align integration boundaries with other engineering teams

Your profile

• Several years of experience as a Software Engineer, ideally with PHP as well as relational and document-based databases (MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB)
• Experience in cloud-native development and with Kubernetes (Azure AKS and/or AWS EKS)
• Hands-on experience working with AI coding agents: you define specs, orchestrate agents and review their output
• The ability to make architecture and technology decisions independently for a larger scope
• Business-fluent German and English

Nice to Have

• Experience modernising long-lived software systems
• Knowledge of Responsible AI and AI governance, e.g. around the EU AI Act
• Experience with React, Angular or Ionic/Capacitor, as well as with B2B2C environments with high availability requirements

Your benefits

• Collaboration in an empathetic and appreciative team with a passion for modern technologies
• You can apply your knowledge and strengths, gain further qualifications and keep developing
• Structured onboarding and learning on the job, in training sessions or in informal formats such as the zvoove Garage – in interdisciplinary, international teams
• Hybrid work: office, home office, mobile work and workation
• A variety of benefits, e.g. pension scheme, health management and employee discounts
• Well-behaved dogs are welcome at all our locations

I look forward to receiving your application
