  • Improve our engineering platform by advancing CI/CD pipelines, observability and Infrastructure as Code practices.

  • Collaborate closely with marketing and engineering teams across idealo to deliver reliable tracking and billing systems while continuously raising engineering quality through clean code, testing, pair programming, code reviews, mentoring and knowledge sharing.

Skills & Requirements
  • Several years of professional experience in frontend development with TypeScript/JavaScript and backend development with Kotlin.

  • Solid experience with React, Next. js, Spring Boot and building RESTful APIs.

  • Experience with event-driven architectures, Kafka and messaging patterns. Experience operating these systems in production is a strong plus.

  • Hands-on experience working with Kubernetes, AWS and Infrastructure as Code tools such as AWS CDK or Terraform, alongside modern CI/CD practices.

  • You take ownership and independently drive topics forward.

  • The confidence to speak up and challenge ideas constructively, paired with openness to diverse perspectives.

Our office in the heart of Berlin offers free organic breakfast, excellent free lunch (vegan and vegetarian), as well as free coffee, lemonades and after-work beer, in addition to the "standard foosball". It also has a fabulous rooftop terrace with view of the whole of berlin where you can network with colleagues from our group of companies.

  • In need of additional support in any areas of your life? We offer free counseling and support in all areas of life (professional, private, family, health, etc.) in cooperation with the pme-Familienservice.

  • You want full flexibility on your way to work and beyond? No problem with a job bike or Deutschlandticket - and it's environmentally friendly, too!
