• Experience developing Node.js backend services with clean REST APIs and identity integrations.
• A pragmatic approach to testing, troubleshooting and debugging across the entire stack.
• Good judgment when using AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, combined with the ability to take ownership of tasks from idea to production and a preference for simple solutions over unnecessary complexity.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English and German.
• Intrinsic motivation, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for Open Source technologies in a low-hierarchy environment.
• Comfortable working in a remote-first environment with multicultural teams across different time zones.

Benefits
