Senior Software Engineer

Role overview

Corvane Academy is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our Billing team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. You can work from home anywhere in Germany. We have no office requirement. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

In this role you will

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners

Minimum qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript

Bonus points

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform
• Prior work at an early-stage startup
• Kubernetes and Docker in production

Benefits

• Company pension scheme
• 30 days of annual leave
• Childcare allowance
