Senior Backend Engineer

Be part of our platform engineering team developing scalable and secure platform services that empower LeanIX engineering teams. Take responsibility as a Senior Backend Engineer and join us evolving an event-driven notification service, the event streaming platform, observability services, and the whole platform ecosystem.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you are not only an individual contributor but support your team with a strong customer-centric mindset and a drive to take on ownership of product capabilities and technical components.

Why should you care? Well, there are multiple reasons:

• We have invested a lot in a working environment that allows everyone to thrive. We believe in open access to leadership, transparent communication, personal development, and that our world-class team deserves the best software stack money can buy.
• We're solving hard engineering challenges at a large scale, which requires creativity and very strong engineering knowledge.
• We have a culture of empowered product teams, which means you're not just executing a roadmap that someone hands to you but you actually get problems to solve. And from that, we value and reward outcomes not just output.
• We build it, we run it. We are not just building and delivering features but we also make sure our customers can rely on them. This means we value resilience, a high degree of automation, and staying ahead of our customers whenever something goes wrong.
• We prioritise continuous improvement, collaboration, and sharing knowledge. As a product team, we also want to continuously improve our products by validating and measuring how users are using them.
• We value work-life balance, support working remotely or on-site, and we believe a well-rested and well-rounded person with interests outside of their job is the best engineer. We offer flexible working hours, so you can adapt your job to your life.

What is waiting for you?

• Implement and evolve integrated platform services at a global scale, which are managed and provisioned for engineering teams: authentication, notifications, event streaming, routing, hosting of frontend assets.
• Guide engineering teams utilising platform services.
• Continuous improvement of our architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and codebase.
• You will be part of our larger development organisation and contribute to cross-team knowledge building & sharing - with explicit options to share your knowledge across our entire company and beyond, e.g., on conferences.
• Passionate colleagues who are looking forward to share knowledge and learn from you.

What is our stack?

• Backend microservice development: Java/Kotlin using Dropwizard.
• API Technologies such as REST and GraphQL.
• Azure and Kubernetes.
• Modern CI/CD and infrastructure toolchain: GitHub Actions, Terraform, Testcontainers.
• Monitoring & Alerting, e.g., Instana, Grafana, Prometheus, PagerDuty.

• Live by our values.
