Job description
Deine Rolle bei Ocumeda As Staff Software Engineer (m/f/d) you are the engineer who makes hard, unclear or broken things tractable. You know how our platform works end to end and you shape it as you go. Your focus is our full-stack platform: the web application our doctors, our optician partners, and their customers use daily, and the services behind it. This is an individual contributor role. No direct reports, real technical authority: you set direction on architecture and engineering practice, and you build in the same codebase as everyone else in the team. Staff/Senior here means deeper, not further from the code. Your job is to keep our systems fast to iterate, reliable in production, and ready for international expansion and scaling. Own the architecture of our full-stack platform – frontend, backend, data, AWS – and evolve it under real product pressure instead of rewriting it
Own our testing strategy: where we invest in unit, integration and end-to-end coverage, what we deliberately do not test, and how tests stay fast enough that nobody skips them
Push our agentic coding practice forward: tooling, guardrails and testing discipline that make us faster without putting unverified code into a live product
Shape scope together with product: surface the cheap 80 % solution, and say clearly when something is not worth building
Build so that what ships is operable and auditable by design (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 13485), without turning engineering into paperwork
Go wherever the problem is – a scaling bottleneck one week, a broken integration the next – you fix it properly

Das bringst du mit Several years of professional software engineering experience (roughly 7+), most of it on systems that reached real users
Deeply hands-on across the stack: strong in the frontend, at home in the backend, comfortable in the infrastructure and web technologies around it
A strong background in TypeScript, and well-formed opinions you can defend and revise
A clear product focus: you care about what ships, what runs, and what users experience
You speak fluent English (C1); German is a plus
... and as a nice to have: Experience in a start-up or scale-up where speed and quality both mattered
Comfort taking ownership and shaping processes nobody has defined yet
A degree in a STEM field – equivalent practical experience counts more
Exposure to regulated software, medical devices or health data
If you match most of this, apply. We would rather read your application than have you rule yourself out.
