[Hiring] Senior Fullstack Engineer @Journaway Gmbh

Role Description

Our platform runs on .NET microservices behind a Next.js frontend, and we'd like you to own the path between them. Not a slice of it — the whole thing, from the data model up to the button someone clicks, and still yours once it's live.

You'll work closely with our software architects, product owners, and fellow developers:

• Code reviews
• Pair programming
• Technical decisions that stick around

Your mission:

• You own features from the database row to the interface that triggers it. No handover, no waiting for another team to pick up your half.
• You decide how data moves through the system:
• Schemas in Postgres
• Caching in Redis where it pays off
• Messaging over RabbitMQ where services need to stay independent
• You build the Next.js frontend on top of the services you wrote — which means you feel every backend decision in the UI, and you design accordingly.
• You take features to production and keep the CI/CD pipeline fast enough that nobody avoids it.
• You catch bottlenecks, security risks, and failure modes before users do, on both sides of the stack.
• You use coding agents as part of your daily workflow — directing their work, reviewing their output, and fixing what doesn't hold up. Writing code matters; knowing what good code looks like matters more.

Qualifications

• Several years of experience on both sides of the stack — C# and .NET on the backend, React and TypeScript on the frontend.
• Experience building microservice architectures and running Postgres, Redis, and RabbitMQ in production.
• Proficiency in a Next.js codebase with Tailwind, and in the Node.js layer (Express.js, Nest.js) that connects the UI to services.
• Knowledge of architecture principles, performance optimization, and secure scalability.
• Ability to work well in agile teams (Scrum/Kanban), write clearly, and communicate comfortably in English and German.
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (not a requirement, but a plus).

Benefits

• 30 days of vacation
• Up to 50 workation days a year
• Sabbatical option
• Hansefit
• Pension contributions
• Employee loan program
• Range of travel-industry discounts on personal trips
• Fully remote with no relocation required
• Hiring process that's three steps end to end, with no bureaucratic layers slowing down a "yes."
• Rated 4.7/5 on Trustpilot — what you build ships to real people, not into the void.

How we work

We're fully remote, so you work from wherever you do your best thinking. Agentic coding is part of our day-to-day, not a side experiment:

• We work with Claude Code across the team.
• We'd want you to have an opinion about where it helps, where it doesn't, and how to review what it produces.
• If that's already your workflow, you'll feel at home. If it isn't yet, you'll pick it up here.

Hiring process

• Online interview with HR
• Online interview with our Head of Engineering
• On-site interview with the team
