Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Job description

Is software engineering more than a job for you? Are you passionate about backend topics? Do you love problems because you can’t wait to dig in and find a solution? Do you want to build software that benefits and delights users in real life? And do you believe in teamwork & collaboration to develop brilliantly simply solutions?
Join us as a Backend Software Engineer and help scale the Yatta Platform—an ecosystem for digital products, focused on B2B and B2B2X. Your deep technical expertise and strong work ethic will be key in designing, maintaining and operating complex backend architecture based on microservices.
Together, our team of researchers, developers, engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs strive to excel through software innovations that work, serve, and inspire people. We will go above and beyond to help build the next tech unicorns in Europe—and raise the bar for software from Europe on the international stage.

Our tech stack

We develop software projects on behalf of customers and do research and development for our own software products and services, both open source and commercial.
Here is a selection of technologies we work with and examples of software we build and run.
Tech Stack - Examples

• Frontend Technologies: Angular, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, Sass
• Backend Technologies: Python, Java, Kotlin, C#, C++
• Mobile Applications: Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, Ionic
• Collaboration Tools: Jira, Confluence, Jenkins, Git, Slack, Figma
• Database Development: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, InfluxDB
• Agile Software Development: SCRUM, Kanban, Lean

Target Platforms and Applications

• Applications: Enterprise Applications, Consumer Software, B2B/B2C & B2B2X
• Cloud Applications: AWS, OpenShift, Kubernetes
• Desktop Applications: Windows, MacOS, Linux
• Mobile Apps: iOS, Android

Of course, we don't expect you to have mastered all these technologies and frameworks. All you need is a passion for tech with the right potential and ambition: Seeking deep understanding in software engineering and working on meaningful applications. We will figure out the rest together. ;-)

Your key responsibilities

• In-house software development in small, agile teams – for customers or for our own products and services (esp. software tools)
• Design and implementation of software components, products and services, from analysis and development to deployment and rollout
• Evaluation and analysis of existing and new technologies, frameworks and tooling for productive use in software development
• Continuous improvement of quality through relentless root cause analysis, detailed code reviews, thorough documentation, testing, learning and debugging
• Active sharing of experiences and skills within and across development teams to improve software and code quality
• Contribute to and make good decisions to resolve complex problems and provide sustainable solutions for real life

Your qualifications

• Degree in computer science with above-average grades (preferably M.Sc., diploma or PhD) or similar qualification
• Several years of practical experience in designing and developing software, preferably as part of a development team (e.g., through work experience, open-source projects or internships)
• Technical know-how and skills that match (at least in parts) our tech stack and responsibilities as developers. Everything else is a plus as long as you are not obsessed with it! ;-)
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills with good judgement and appreciation for feedback to develop and grow

Why us?

1. You share our vision. This is a good start to head for the same objectives and mission goals. It is of greatest importance to us to maximize positive impact on the world. In the end, this is the purpose of our company. And this is the reason for our work.
2. You share the same values. We love our culture code! You don’t have to have the same feeling right away. And you don’t have to be like that completely – none of us are. But we believe it’s better to be driven by shared values rather than by rules and titles. ;-)
3. You believe this is the very best (working) environment for you. At least for the foreseeable future. Like Akio Toyoda, we believe the key to making quality products is to develop quality people.

About us

Yatta is all about development and evolution. We started in Frankfurt and Kassel, Germany, as a developer tool company, transformed into a software vendor, and now provide streamlined digital services.
