We’re doing planning software for huge factories, predominantly in the chemical industry where processes are complex and there is always a fun new edge case or uncertainty to account for.
You’d love to work here if you’re a REAL full-stack! Not a React programmer who has used an ORM once but someone who knows both about aspects of UX design, the nitty gritty of DBs (MVCC, transaction isolation levels, partitioning, …), and everything in between. You’ve usually been the strongest in these areas within your company and finally want to work in an environment where you have peers, not people you first need to train.
So if you can argue why REST in a lot of situations is a smarter choice than GraphQL, why doing integration tests might be better than blindly following the testing pyramid, why DAOs or query builders are superior to ORMS, or in general you have “seen stuff and fixed shit” but also care more about a successful product than tech stuff, this might be the environment for you to shine.
akeno | Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Applied Research Engineer | Full Time | ONSITE (hybrid) | Hamburg, Germany
At akeno, we help chemical manufactures optimise the production planning in their giant factories. Think asset utilisation, giant dependency graphs, adapting to real-time data, critical processes, a highly complex domain, and scenarios where even squeezing out 1% of extra utilisation can easily save our customers millions.
We're currently looking for 1x Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer (Typescript, PostgreSQL, React, GraphQL/Hasura, TailwindCSS, Docker), 1x Senior/Staff DevOps Engineer (Kubernetes, Terraform, Observability, multi-environment management, …), and 1x Senior Applied Research Engineer (Python, ML/AI, optimisation) to extend our teams.
You'll need to bring real world experience from designing and running systems that really matter, a true "full stack" mentality (from UX deep down into the DB), team-spirit, and have worked in the EU before. We'll provide: Colleagues who are not only highly competent but you'll actually enjoy working with, 3-2 onsite/home-office model, great office in the heart of beautiful Hamburg, latest Macbook, excellent e2e/integration testing setup, pseudomised customer DB dumps for realistic development data, completely cloud-agnostic, "airplane mode" (you can spin up a full dev environment locally and without internet!), Open Telemetry, and more.
We're building AI/ML-based production planning software, primarily for the chemical manufacturing industry, and helping some very well renown companies running their factories more efficiently. akeno is still a young company and we have almost zero meetings. But unlike many "startups", we already have a proven product and so much customer demand that we're increasing the team. Cool product, great team & culture.
Stack: React, NodeJS/NestJS, Golang, Hasura, PostgreSQL. Once of the best dev experiences I've worked with so far: pseudomized production data sets for realistic development, a pretty sweet Cypress & Jest testing setup, airplane mode (you can fully develop and run all tests locally), great internal knowledge base, …
Taxdoo | Staff Software Engineer & Staff Cloud Platform Engineer | Hamburg, Germany (or remote EU) | Full Time
We at Taxdoo build the gold standard of automated VAT and accounting for online merchants. Taxes you say? I know, sounds boring, but think again! How about this:
An almost entirely AWS Serverless-based (=no on-call) application, React-based frontend of course, tons of data and number crunching, a highly complex problem domain that by nature changes every couple of years (well, that's the law for you) and always keeps us on our toes, high need for producing rock solid, secure software (we're working with money here!), and much more …
On top of that a great team (engineering alone is 35+ people) and culture, a company that is well established on the market but still feels like a nimble startup, lots of possibilities, and all the toys you need to produce amazing software: MacBooks, GitLab, Jira, IntelliJ, AWS, GraphQL, Go / Java / NodeJS, 10% innovation time, …
Did you also think Taxes and Compliance sounds boring? You're missing out, seriously! How does this sound instead: A highly diverse team of 160+ (various cultures and backgrounds, 51% percent female) with still a startup spirit, highly successfully funded, uses an AWS serverless TypeScript/Java/React stack to build the next generation of financial operating system.
Great culture, stunning office in the heart of Hamburg if you want to work there (but we really don't care if you don't), English as official language, great onboarding/welcoming, and most important: still lots of areas where your knowledge and experience will be highly appreciated and you can actually help shape things instead of just adding endpoints to micro services or fixing security groups all day.
Just imagine: what would it be like to have a job you'd actually like to go to work every day?
