Job description
Packmatic is the leading digital platform for packaging procurement. We connect companies with a Europe-wide network of packaging suppliers - quickly, transparently and based on data.
With Packa, we have developed a new all-in-one solution for intelligent packaging management - helping companies to manage their packaging 100% digitally, reduce packaging costs and efficiently implement sustainability requirements such as PPWR or EUDR.
Together, we are changing how packaging is developed, procured and managed - for greater efficiency, sustainability and impact. Supported by strong investors and an ambitious team, we are growing rapidly - and are looking for people who want to shape things with us.
Why Packmatic
- Creative freedom: You work directly with the CTO and the founding team and therefore have creative freedom from day one.
- Ownership: You are part of a highly motivated, diverse and successful team and have a high degree of freedom and responsibility right from the start.
- Hybrid working: You work in a great office in Berlin - Prenzlauer Berg.
- Leadership: You will work in a company with an inspiring vision, led by an experienced founding team and supported by leading investors!
- Appreciation and commitment: We believe in fair compensation and you will benefit from a clear growth and development path.
Your tasks
- Your focus will be backend web application engineering, but everyone in the team works full stack with a strong product focus. That means, we first and foremost build products, that bring value to our users
- You maintain the existing API services as well as build and operate the next generations of our Packmatic platform, that serves our customers, suppliers, and partners
- We currently use NestJS in the backend. We store our data in PostgreSQL, communicate via REST APIs and message queues, and deploy our apps with Docker in our fully automated AWS cloud infrastructure.
- TypeScript everywhere – but we always chose the best tool for the job, and we look forward to relying on your expertise making future decisions
- DevOps is not a person, It’s our mindset. You deploy your code to production, you deliver functionality and value to our users – “You build it, you run it!”
What you bring with you
- Experience: 4+ years of experience in backend software development, with a strong product-focus
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for backend development, as well as experience with RDBMS (especially PostgreSQL), AWS services & cloud architecture. Experience with React or Vue.js for frontend engineering are a big plus.
- Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and address complex issues as well as refining data schemas and workflows.
- UI Development: Ability to build and maintain supporting UIs that aid in the integration process, leveraging modern frontend technologies, would be a plus.
- Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- General Requirements: You live in Berlin, speak fluent English, and you want to work in a hybrid work model.
