## **About the Job**

We’re looking for a hands-on **Lead Backend Engineer (m/f/d)** to join one of our portfolio companies and drive the development of their cutting-edge platform. 

In your day-to-day work, you’ll focus on hands-on development while guiding our portfolio company’s architecture, scalability, and performance. As one of the first Engineers to join the company, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of its growth phase. 

Join our portfolio company, a ConTech Startup in Munich that is building a disruptive solution to digitalise a key area of the supply chain process in the construction industry.

## **In this role, you’ll:**

* Use object-oriented principles and best practices to scale our portfolio company’s backend roadmap, architecture, design and development.
* Ensure backend systems are robust, scalable, secure, and optimized for high performance and reliability
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver backend solutions aligned with product and business requirements
* Proactively seek opportunities for technological innovation and product enhancements, actively collaborating with key external partners to broaden our product offerings
* Mentor junior team members and lay the foundation of the company’s backend engineering standards, tooling, and processes

## **Your Profile**

* You bring 5+ years of experience in Software Development (ideally in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment)
* You have extensive experience in building scalable microservice architectures in Python, Go or other object oriented programming languages (e.g. Java, C#, etc.)
* You enjoy all aspects of building a product from scratch and are driven to make solutions for customer challenges a reality
* You strive to deliver high quality code and features through thorough testing and smooth deployment
* Your code is reusable, well-tested and ready to be shipped directly to the customers
* You’re eager to join an early-stage startup and disrupt an industry that’s still highly paper-driven
* You are business fluent in English (German is highly advantageous)

Please note that we are looking for support in the **Munich** office of our portfolio company. Eligibility to work within the EU is required as well.

## **Benefits and Perks**

* Help shape a growing start-up from the ground up and have a measurable impact on the early development of our product
* Work with a team experienced both in product development and target industry experience
* Perks such as e.g. construction site visits and a company-paid gym membership
* Get all the additional benefits of a start-up (flat hierarchies, flexible working hours, responsibility, work hybrid-style, cool team events etc.)
* Be part of a professional network within the Project A family, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
