Remote in our day-to-day work.
On-site when it matters.We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership.
For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin or Cologne – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.Fast where it makes sense.

Balance bold exploration with production stability.Your SkillsBe motivated by systems thinking and deep technical curiosity.
Stop being a consumer – start being a builder.Must-haves:Apply an Observability Mindset: Implement a clear strategy for metrics, logs, and traces.
Transform "noisy alerts" into "actionable insights."Embrace Ownership: Live the "you build it, you run it" philosophy.
