We aim to create a flexible and agile work environment that promotes the well-being and work-life balance of our employees.
We are enthusiastic about technology and committed to using it to improve the world.
We follow the "You build it, you run it"-approach and take pride in it.
The Team
Autopilot is one of the newest and most ambitious initiatives in our product organization. We're building the automation and agent layer for the Staffbase platform: giving customers the ability to configure their own event-driven, rule-based and agentic workflows.
What you'll be doing
Responsible for developing and improving our RESTful web services, including utilizing and integrating LLMs into our services, with some involvement in our web-based clients
Work in a cross-functional Scrum team and produce high-quality and tested code
Give and receive valuable feedback in our code review process and architectural advisory forums, continuously learning from and sharing knowledge with your peers
Use AI coding tools to move faster without offloading judgment: you'll own the design, keep PRs small and reviewable, and make sure every change is something you can explain and stand behind — whether that review comes from a peer or an AI tool
Take ownership for what you care about: from the features you build, to the quality of our work, to the environment we work in
You work iteratively, frequently pushing code, ensuring a good CI/CD pipeline, and automating where possible
What you need to be successful
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
You are a Backend Engineer experienced in Go, Java/Kotlin and relational databases like Postgres or NoSQL databases like MongoDB
Ideally, you have worked with Docker, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Prometheus or Grafana before and have a good understanding of REST and Microservices
You bring a sound understanding of testing practices, and take responsibility for the quality and correctness of the code you produce
Preferably, you have worked in an agile environment before
You value clean code and learning new things
Good English communication skills
You're a self-starter who takes initiative while collaborating well with others
What you'll get
Competitive Compensation - we offer attractive salary packages including LTIP (unit-based Long Term Incentive Plan)
Flexibility - we offer flexible working time models and the option of hybrid work, and support this with a yearly flex work allowance of €1560
Recharge - with 31 vacation days annually (incl. one floating holiday), plus pro rata fully paid Fridays off during August
Support - we offer offering a company pension scheme
Volunteers Day - you’ll get one day off per year for supporting a social project
