Our stack is PHP/Symfony and TypeScript; experience there is a plus, not a requirement. - You have decomposed a monolith into services in production, incrementally, and know why such migrations stall. - You have designed event-driven architectures with Kafka - event and topic design, delivery semantics, and schema evolution. - You have strong experience with AWS, understand how cloud infrastructure impacts service delivery, and know Kubernetes as a deployment target. - You are AI-keen - you actively explore and apply AI tools and techniques in your daily engineering work. - You communicate proactively and clearly - in writing and in conversation - and act as an enabler and catalyst: you help teams find a shared technical direction instead of prescribing one. - You are fluent in English; German is a plus. ### Why us?
