Staff Software Engineer (m/w/d) for telemedicine platform

• Deine Rolle bei Ocumeda
• Staff

Software Engineer (m/f/d) you are the engineer who makes hard, unclear or broken things tractable.

You know how our platform works end to end and you shape it as you go.

Your focus is our full-stack platform: the web application our doctors, our optician partners, and their customers use daily, and the services behind it.

This is an individual contributor role.

No direct reports, real technical authority: you set direction on architecture and engineering practice, and you build in the same codebase as everyone else in the team.

Staff/Senior here means deeper, not further from the code.

Your job is to keep our systems fast to iterate, reliable in production, and ready for international expansion and scaling.

• Own the architecture of our full-stack platform – frontend, backend, data, AWS – and evolve it under real product pressure instead of rewriting it
• Own our testing strategy: where we invest in unit, integration and end-to-end coverage, what we deliberately do not test, and how tests stay fast enough that nobody skips them
• Push our agentic coding practice forward: tooling, guardrails and testing discipline that make us faster without putting unverified code into a live product
• Shape scope together with product: surface the cheap 80 % solution, and say clearly when something is not worth building
• Build so that what ships is operable and auditable by design (e. g. ISO 27001, ISO 13485), without turning engineering into paperwork
• Go wherever the problem is – a scaling bottleneck one week, a broken integration the next – you fix it properly
• Das bringst du mit
• Several years of professional software engineering experience (roughly 7+), most of it on systems that reached real users
• Deeply hands-on across the stack: strong in the frontend, at home in the backend, comfortable in the infrastructure and web technologies around it
• A strong background in Type Script, and well-formed opinions you can defend and revise
• A clear product focus: you care about what ships, what runs, and what users experience
• You speak fluent English (C1); German is a plus
