Your responsibilities

Grow our microservice architecture

We just started to split our existing monolith API into a microservice architecture. You can help us finding the right boundaries and work on improving the inter-service communication using REST, gRPC and RabbitMQ. We also plan to improve every single service by choosing suitable data storage strategies (such as the concept of materialized views, Elastic Search, Cassandra) and/ or caching mechanisms.

Integrating new messenger platforms

We want to support every major messenger platform in our product. Examples are Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack and also voice platforms like Alexa. You can help us writing connector logic that allows conversations between businesses and their customers on these platforms.

Develop, design and maintain our web apps

We have responsive web apps for consumers and service partners. Additionally, an operations, analytics and administration dashboard allows operators to monitor and configure all relevant aspects of their business platform. You can help us improving the UX and develop new features for these products while closely collaborating with UX Designers and Product Managers.

What you can expect from us

• Working in a diverse company culture shaped by fun, kindness and immensely committed and motivated people
• High autonomy and the option to thrive and grow in your preferred area of expertise
• Flexible time management
• Working in cooperative, multidisciplinary team structures with flat hierarchies
• Working within a team that has a great vibe and spirit, which shows not only when we are going out for our frequent team events or gatherings, but on a daily basis
• English as a company language
• No suits or ties — meaning, we don’t have a dresscode ;)
• Working in a vibrant area right in the middle of Hamburg (near Jungfernstieg) in the WeWork CoWorking Space (not only free coffee but also events like yoga, business talks or after-work drinks)
