Expert Engineer - Full-Stack

Role Description

We are a small team of expert engineers enabling Jimdo’s business, product, and engineering teams to deliver impact quickly across our product portfolio. Our mission is to close critical gaps, unblock teams, and make sure the most important work gets shipped. Reporting to the Head of Architecture, you will be a senior, full‑stack problem solver who can pick up any project end‑to‑end, from frontend to backend and infrastructure glue, and drive it to completion.

• Design and build scalable APIs, services, and frontend features.
• Jump into different codebases and domains as needed, quickly understanding context and unblocking critical projects.
• Ship high-quality, maintainable code that balances pragmatism and long-term sustainability.
• Collaborate closely with staff engineers, product managers, designers, and other engineers to define solutions that create visible impact for our users.
• Use AI-assisted development tools and modern engineering practices to move fast without compromising quality.
• Proactively identify gaps, edge cases, and technical risks in existing systems and drive pragmatic improvements.
• Work independently on projects of varying complexity, from small fixes to larger initiatives, and see them through to completion.
• Share knowledge and best practices with teams you support, helping them move faster while keeping overhead low.
• Provide clear, honest feedback and status updates to stakeholders, ensuring alignment and predictable delivery.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years in a senior or technical leadership role.
• Strong full-stack proficiency (e.g. Kotlin/Java backend, React/JS frontend).
• Good level of experience with Spring Boot, Terraform, and Github Actions.
• Deep experience with REST APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Proven ability to quickly understand new domains, systems, and codebases, and make meaningful contributions with minimal onboarding.
• Proven system design and architectural leadership.
• Able to work autonomously across different codebases and domains.
• A pragmatic, impact-driven mindset: focus on solving the problem at hand and comfortable with trivial and complex work.
• Excellent experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with different teams and stakeholders.

Benefits

• Inspiring Mission: Empower solopreneurs and small businesses to succeed and contribute to the sustainability and vibrancy of the communities they serve.
• Flexibility and Trust: Fully remote work set-up with opportunities for in-person collaboration. Manage your working hours flexibly.
• An International Diverse Team: Over 248 individuals from 50+ different countries and 15+ diverse locations.
• Continuous Growth and Career Development: Access to LinkedIn Learning, Hack Weeks, Deep Work Thursdays, conferences, and technical eLearning platforms.
