Job description

Remote in our day-to-day work. On-site when it matters.
We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership. For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.

We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.

No Job Posting? No Problem. We’re always open for great minds. Let’s talk.

At smartclip, we don’t just wait for the perfect application — we invite it. If you're someone who combines technical curiosity with initiative and ownership, we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you’re deep in the world of AdTech or playing with clusters in Kubernetes, whether you shape video ad formats, build data pipelines, or scale cloud-native services — if you're passionate about building tech that matters, we want to talk to you.

Did you just nod at one (or more) of these? Then don’t wait for a job post — reach out.

Let's keep it casual. Book a no-pressure 20-minute chat with Sarah, our Senior Recruiter.

No CV needed (yet), no slides, no prep — just a conversation. Ask anything: about our team, projects, how we work, and what we’re building next.

We’ll tell you what it’s like working at smartclip — and you’ll tell us what drives you. If there’s a match, we’ll find the right opportunity together. Because we don’t hire for roles. We hire for impact.

Why you’ll love working with us

  • Ownership over tickets: You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement – we rely on you to take things forward.

  • Build > Talk: We test what works – not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.

  • High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.

  • Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community – we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.

  • And yes – the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.

Your CV is just the starting point.

What matters more to us than your resume: a portfolio, a side project, a demo repo – anything that shows you don’t just talk about code, you ship it. Production-ready. Thought through. Done.
