Senior • Remote

4,000 - 8,000 EUR

Berlin, BE, Germany

About Us

We develop and operate an end-to-end platform for car sharing and vehicle rental, currently used by customers in Germany, Austria, and Spain.

The platform is fully white-label capable and includes mobile apps, web applications, back-office tools, and integrations with telematics hardware, payment service providers, and KYC providers — all from a single, modular codebase.

The backend is based on Java 17 / Jakarta EE 10 Payara, while the frontend is built with React / React Native.

We are currently in a strategic growth phase and are now looking for an experienced technical leader to help shape the next stage of our development.

The Role

As Tech Lead, you will take on a central bridging role between Engineering and company leadership. You will work closely with the CTO, support them operationally, and ensure that the platform keeps pace with the company’s growth — both technically and organisationally.

This position is designed for someone who can dive deep into the code while also keeping the bigger picture in mind. You are not afraid of a mature system with history — you see it as an opportunity.

Technical Leadership & Architecture

  • Further development and maintenance of the modular Java / Jakarta EE platform, including shared responsibility for architectural decisions

  • Implementation of the identified infrastructure improvements: IaC Terraform / CloudFormation, multi-region setup, and disaster recovery plan

  • Responsibility for implementing outstanding security measures

  • Driving the migration of binary data from MongoDB to S3, as well as further technical debt reduction projects

  • Evaluation and further development of the CI/CD pipelines GitLab CI and test coverage

Processes & Team Organization

  • Establishment of formal code review processes and consistent planning cycles within the development team

  • Close collaboration with the CTO on the gradual handover of engineering and operational responsibilities

  • Support in building a product management process aligned with customer requirements

  • Mentoring of the junior frontend developer and support for the senior engineers

Operations & Quality

  • Shared responsibility for monitoring, alerting, and incident response AWS CloudWatch, Sentry, Crashlytics

  • Automation of dependency vulnerability scanning within the CI pipeline

  • Technical support for customer projects — from onboarding through to troubleshooting

Must-Have

  • Several years of experience in backend development with Java — Jakarta EE / Java EE / Spring — in production systems

  • Strong experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD), as well as a strong quality mindset and interest in software craftsmanship

  • Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Senior Engineer with team responsibility

  • Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS — EC2, ECS, CloudWatch, S3

  • Experience with MongoDB or comparable NoSQL databases in production environments

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines — GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar — and modern deployment practices

  • Hands-on mentality: you can deliver value immediately without requiring months of onboarding

Nice-to-Have

  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code — Terraform or CloudFormation

  • Experience with React and/or React Native on the frontend

  • Understanding of the mobility, car-sharing, or vehicle rental domains

  • Experience in regulated environments or with GDPR compliance projects

  • Knowledge of telematics hardware integrations or IoT-related systems

  • Class B driving licence

What We Offer

  • One of the most technically impressive small platforms in the German mobility landscape — with real responsibility from day one

  • Short decision-making paths and a high degree of freedom to shape things

  • A well-established team with 5–10 years of shared platform history

  • A modern tech stack: Java 17, Jakarta EE 10, React, React Native, GitLab CI/CD — without legacy burden

  • 99.9% uptime — efficiency here is not an ambition, but a reality

  • Hybrid working with an office in Berlin and flexible working hours

  • Competitive salary, depending on experience and qualifications

  • Active involvement in the strategic development of the company


How to Apply

We look forward to receiving your application — preferably including a short cover note, your CV, and, where relevant, references or GitHub projects.

A formal cover letter is not required; we value genuine interest and technical depth more than formalities.
