Your mission

You are the architect and builder of LEASETEQ’s backend core in Berlin. You design the event‑driven micro-services and Flowable process models that power lease orchestration for real customers at production scale. You work in a small, senior team where your decisions have direct product impact, and you naturally bring AI tooling into your daily engineering workflow without being asked.

What you will do

  • Design and implement BPMN 2.0 process models and DMN decision tables in Flowable
  • Build and maintain Java / Spring Boot micro-services integrating with Flowable Java and REST APIs
  • Design and operate Kafka‑based event streaming for core leasing domains
  • Own service boundaries, API contracts and data models end‑to‑end
  • Collaborate with the AI Agent Engineer to expose AI automation as Flowable service tasks and event‑driven gateways
  • Define technical standards and review code from our Southeast Asia developer partners
  • Participate in architecture decisions and quarterly reviews with the CTO
  • Communicate clearly in German and English with engineering peers and business stakeholders

Your profile

  • 5+ years of Java backend engineering experience (Spring Boot / Spring Cloud)
  • Production Flowable experience (BPMN 2.0, DMN) is mandatory
  • Strong Kafka expertise in production systems is mandatory
  • Solid experience with microservices patterns and distributed systems
  • PostgreSQL experience; Elasticsearch knowledge is a plus
  • Confident with Docker and Kubernetes in a cloud‑native environment
  • AI‑first engineering mindset (daily use of coding assistants and automation tools)
  • Fluent in German and English
  • Experience in car leasing, asset finance or insurance domains is a strong plus

Why us?

  • Founding‑team‑level role with long lived architectural impact on our core platform
  • Direct collaboration with the CTO and founders, including regular visits to our Swiss HQ
  • Hybrid setup with 2-3 days per week in our coworking office in Berlin (WeWork, Stresemannstrasse)
  • Competitive and fair salary: €70,000 - €90,000 gross per year, depending on experience and impact
  • 10–15% annual bonus tied to company performance and clear OKRs
  • Tax‑free monthly benefit allowance of €50 that you can use for what you personally value
  • Sustainable mobility budget: subsidy for e‑bike leasing and app‑based car sharing (e.g. short‑term rentals instead of a company car) for occasional trips
  • Additional health insurance options, including enhanced coverage for dental and vision care
  • Company-supported pension scheme with employer contributions on top of the statutory system
  • Employer-funded disability coverage starting from day one of employment
  • Dedicated AI tooling budget (e.g. Cursor, Claude API) so you can experiment and move fast
  • Our remote policy promises 4 weeks & worldwide, should be adjusted
  • Modern Apple devices
