Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Java / Spring Boot / React)

<h2><strong>Why this role matters</strong></h2><p>We are scaling our engineering team past 6+ developers and need an experienced, autonomous full-stack builder to work alongside our CTO and senior developers on heavy execution. Your balance of rapid prototyping and rigorous architectural discipline (Arc42, DDD, TDD/BDD) ensures we move fast without sacrificing long-term code quality. In our flat structure, your contributions directly accelerate platform velocity while lifting team craft across the board.</p><h2>What you will do</h2><ul><li><p>Full-stack feature delivery, clean domain modelling, and hands-on technical contributions across our core platform.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Design, build, and ship end-to-end full-stack features using Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, and React.</p></li><li><p>Collaborate closely with the CTO and senior developers on architecture, system design, and heavy execution.</p></li><li><p>Apply rigorous engineering standards including TDD/BDD, Arc42 architectural documentation, and Domain-Driven Design.</p></li><li><p>Leverage AI-agent pairing workflows and modern CI/CD automation on Azure and Kubernetes to maximize development velocity.</p></li><li><p>Coach and support junior engineers through active code reviews, pairing, and shared engineering standards.</p></li><li><p>Drive collaborative in-person problem-solving and rapid prototyping from our Munich office.</p></li></ul><h2>Your first 90 days</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Month 1: </strong>Ramp up on our product domain, understand the Arc42 architecture, and deliver your first production-ready code contributions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Month 2-3: </strong>Ship end-to-end features, tackle complex tasks alongside the CTO and senior peers, and introduce constructive process or tooling improvements across the stack.</p></li><li><p><strong>By end of Q1: </strong>Operate as an autonomous senior contributor and trusted peer in the Munich office who collaborates closely with the team and shares new techniques or practices.</p></li></ul><h2><strong>Who this is a fit for</strong></h2><ul><li><p>~7+ years of software engineering experience delivering robust, production-grade applications.</p></li><li><p>Deep hands-on expertise with Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, and React.</p></li><li><p>Strong practitioner of TDD, BDD, and structured domain modeling (Arc42/DDD).</p></li><li><p>Dedicated software craftsman with personal coding projects or open-source repositories to show.</p></li><li><p>Comfortable collaborating closely as a peer and mentoring junior developers in a flat team.</p></li><li><p>Based in Munich (or relocating) for regular in-office collaboration.What you bring</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Deep professional experience in full-stack software development with Java, Spring Boot, and React.</p></li><li><p>A strong understanding of building reliable enterprise applications.</p></li><li><p>Familiarity with modern software architecture and cloud environments.</p></li></ul><h2><strong>What it's like to work here</strong></h2><p>We balance startup agility with deliberate design: product decisions start with prototyping, and architectural choices are structured around Arc42, design patterns, and explicit quality constraints rather than gut feelings. While fast-moving and occasionally chaotic, we value thoughtful upfront architecture. Our rhythm combines daily stand-ups and frequent product/feature demos with high individual autonomy, heavily leveraging AI-agent pairing for execution while keeping team collaboration focused on architecture, requirements, and spending time together in person.</p><h2><strong>The offer</strong></h2><ul><li><p>Direct collaboration and high trust alongside the CTO and senior peers in a flat setup.</p></li><li><p>A culture that values thoughtful upfront architecture and craft over reckless shortcuts.</p></li><li><p>Modern AI-agent pairing workflows that supercharge individual delivery and reduce busywork.</p></li><li><p>High autonomy to contribute ideas, introduce new tools, and shape domain patterns.</p></li><li><p>Energetic in-person team collaboration just outside of Munich.</p></li></ul><h2>This probably isn't for you if...</h2><ul><li><p>You are looking for a formal technical lead title or hierarchical management role rather than direct hands-on building.</p></li><li><p>You prefer purely remote work and do not want regular face-to-face collaboration in Munich.</p></li><li><p>You rely on top-down task management or treat tests, architectural documentation, and peer mentoring as afterthoughts.</p></li></ul><h2><strong>Let's talk</strong></h2><p>If you are an experienced craftsman who thrives on building fast with modern architecture and AI-assisted tooling in a flat, collaborative team, let's talk.
