We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Web Engineer to join our Client team and take ownership of impactful, customer-facing systems.

You will work on initiatives that directly influence how users discover, experience, and convert on our platform - including search improvements (images & videos), SEO optimization, localization, performance enhancements, and building up a new web stack.

• Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance through solid testing, monitoring, and CI/CD practices.
• Lead by example in code reviews and mentor other engineers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-stack web development experience.
• Strong frontend expertise with React/Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind.
• Solid backend experience building APIs and services in Python (or a comparable backend language).
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservice architecture, and database design.
• Experience with containerization (Docker), Kubernetes, and cloud environments (Hetzner or similar).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing (unit, integration, e2e).
• Ability to think in systems, take ownership, and drive technical decisions collaboratively.
• Comfortable working in cross-functional, international teams.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).

Nice to Have:

- Experience with SEO-driven web applications.

- German language skills.
