Senior Software Engineer

Hi, we’re Phiture — the mobile growth consultancy working with the teams behind leading apps like Adobe, Headspace, and LEGO® 👋. We’re on a mission to become the #1 company in our industry, and we need great people to make it happen.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend foundation and a startup mindset to join our fast-growing Growth & Insights team—this time with a new challenge. You won’t just be building products from scratch; instead, you’ll step into a pivotal role supporting and evolving two actively growing SaaS platforms: ASAI and Press Play. This is an opportunity to shape product maturity, scale features, and reduce incidents—without compromising on creativity or autonomy.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Resolve live incidents and manage ad hoc stakeholder requests, especially data-related issues impacting analysts and clients.
• Build new features and evolve existing ones across ASAI and Press Play, helping shift both products toward greater autonomy and self-service.
• Reduce technical debt and improve system reliability through pragmatic problem-solving and robust engineering.
• Switch seamlessly between short-term reactive work (bug fixes, support) and longer-term proactive work (feature development, architectural improvements).
• Work hands-on with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL and BigQuery in particular), ensuring performance, scalability, and resilience.
• Collaborate directly with engineers, analysts, product managers, and the team lead.
• Help build and maintain a healthy DevOps pipeline across GCP, with ownership over incident response, app stability, and API performance.
• Contribute to team practices (e.g., testing, documentation, and coding standards), while bringing a founder-like sense of ownership to your work.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 6+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development, preferably in fast-paced or startup environments.
• Experience with AI coding tools like Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf
• Strong expertise in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, async processing, scheduling tools like Composer/Airflow).
• Solid knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, and React.
• Comfortable navigating cloud environments, preferably Google Cloud Platform.
• Deep experience with database design and management, including:
• Relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL)
• NoSQL systems (especially Google BigQuery)
• Query optimization, data modeling, and debugging performance bottlenecks
• Hands-on experience with API design, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated testing (unit + E2E frameworks).
• Sharp debugging skills and a solutions-oriented mindset—you enjoy the challenge of resolving system issues.
• Confidence in ownership, independent delivery, and navigating ambiguity.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU:

• Unlimited remote work within the country this job post applies to, and up to 90 days of international remote work every year
• The opportunity to boost your salary with our quarterly bonus scheme and share in the company's financial success
• Full and free mental health support from licensed therapists through our partnership with Oliva
• Regular team events and a yearly, all-expenses-paid company offsite 
• A yearly €1,000 budget for your personal development
• 10 learning hours a month to focus on your personal and professional growth during working hours
• Flexible working hours so you can find the working patterns that best suit you
• Up to 30 days of paid vacation every year — plus more for special occasions
• An individual career roadmap and personal development plan to support a progressive learning curve
• A flexible working space at our spacious, pet-friendly headquarters in one of Berlin’s lively districts 
• A monthly remote work cash allowance to help you spruce up your home office space — plus your own monitor and desk chair 
• Onboarding package full of branded Phiture gear and a company MacBook
• Birthday, anniversary, and seasonal gifts from responsibly sourced local businesses 

We encourage every qualified person to apply regardless of their age, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, or religion. We celebrate diversity and are excited about building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business needs.
