Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) - Platform

Be part of our platform engineering team developing scalable and secure platform services that are empowering LeanIX engineering teams! Take responsibility as Senior Backend Engineer and join us evolving an event driven notification service, the event streaming platform, observability services and the whole platform ecosystem. In two week sprints based on Scrum our teams self-organise their tasks and continuously improve the way they work to deliver value through our products for our customers.

As 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.
