The Role

Job Title

(Senior) Software Engineer (all genders)

Location

• Munich, Germany
• Why this role matters

We are scaling quickly in a highly complex domain, which means our system design challenges are growing more sophisticated by the day.

To sustain this momentum, we need an engineer who can own entire feature lifecycles, make key technical decisions, and collaborate directly with product and customer success teams to translate business needs into robust code.

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact features and the underlying system architecture that powers our fast-scaling platform.

• Architect and implement robust, scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
• Develop and refine responsive user interfaces using React to ensure a seamless end-to-end experience.
• Design and optimize complex data models and query performance using SQL.
• Collaborate directly with our CTO, Product, and Customer Success teams to define and refine technical requirements.
• Drive engineering excellence by establishing clean system design boundaries and robust testing practices.
• Who this is a fit for
• You have 3 to 5 years of professional experience in backend-heavy software engineering.
• You possess strong system design fundamentals including scalability, data modeling, and service boundaries.
• You write clean, maintainable Java and Spring Boot code, with comfortable full-stack exposure to React.
• You communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and business teams.
• You thrive in ambiguous environments and independently break down complex problems into structured solutions.
• What it's like to work here

Fast-moving, ambitious, and high-ownership (high-impact energy).

On-site, office-first setup in Munich.

Rituals include celebrating wins together, playing table tennis, and enjoying good coffee.

Perfect for people who thrive on high autonomy and low structure.

• The offer
• High autonomy to make critical technical decisions and shape our engineering culture.
• Direct collaboration with our CTO and leadership team in a flat hierarchy.
• An energetic, on-site workspace in Munich at Stiglmaierplatz with a close-knit team.
• A highly collaborative environment featuring regular team-bonding rituals, table tennis, and great coffee.
• This probably isn't for you if
• You prefer highly structured corporate environments with pre-defined ticket requirements and narrow scope.
• You want to work fully remotely; this role is built around an office-first, collaborative team culture in Munich.
• You prefer working in isolation rather than closely collaborating with cross-functional, non-technical teams.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first.

I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career.

Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire.

Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description.

We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
