About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (m/f/d) to join our Checkout Team within the Checkout Unit – onsite in Hamburg or remotely within Germany.
Our team ensures a seamless shopping experience by managing the entire order lifecycle – from cart to payment, including chargebacks, refunds, and promotions. A key focus is COBA, a core backend service handling orders, payments, and customer data.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
You can take a business problem, translate it into a technical problem, and work with the team to ensure it is properly designed, planned, and delivered.
Help envision and work hand-in-hand with other colleagues to develop a scalable software architecture for our API written in PHP.
Embrace modern agile software development methodologies and extreme programming practices such as TDD and pair programming.
Extensive tech stack: use the right tools for the right tasks without being dogmatic about it.
Plenty of room for your ideas and creations, flat hierarchies, and very short decision paths.
