• Deploy and operate containerized applications (Docker, optionally Kubernetes)

• Ensure reliability, observability, and data integrity across systems

• Collaborate with DevOps and product teams to design and deliver scalable solutions

Must-haves:

• At least 2 years of professional experience in software development (focus on backend engineering)

• Solid experience with Python, FastAPI, Docker, and Kafka

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with Kubernetes, Grafana, Prometheus, or Terraform

• Familiarity with NextJS or other frontend frameworks

• Good German skills (B-level or higher) are appreciated but not mandatory

• Team-oriented mindset, analytical thinking, and a passion for clean, maintainable code

More than a Job

• Hybrid working model (office presence required several days per week; home office usually on Fridays)

• Modern tech stack and opportunity to influence architecture decisions

• Office located in central Vienna

• Supportive, open, and cross-location team culture

• Employee benefits within the hospitality sector (discounted stays, events, corporate benefits platform)

• Free annual Wiener Linien public transport ticket

• Transparent communication, realistic workload, and fair time compensation

Full-time position (40h/week) with an annual gross salary starting €50,000 (all-in) depending on experience and qualifications.
