Backend Engineer99 days ago
Full TimeRemoteTeam 51-200Since 2017H1B No Sponsor

Are you ready to be a technology leader in the SaaS space? Join epilot! epilot is building a SaaS product to sell complex products online, focusing on solving ecommerce in the rapidly transforming energy market. Our mission: Make selling complex energy products as easy as selling a pair of shoes online. About the role We're looking for an Integration Engineer to join epilot and own the technical connections between our platform and the outside world — ERP systems, third-party APIs, cloud services, and external partners. This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll write production-grade code, design reliable data flows, and work directly with integration partners and vendors — without a layer of project managers in between. If you like building things that actually run in the real world, dealing with the messiness of external systems, and owning your work end to end, this role is for you. Check out our promise to you: promise.epilot.cloud What awaits you - Build and maintain integrations between ePilot's platform and external systems (ERPs, third-party APIs, partner services) - Design and implement event-driven, asynchronous data pipelines - Work directly with integration partners and ERP providers — scoping requirements, troubleshooting issues, and keeping things moving - Define and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - Ensure integrations are reliable, observable, and resilient — handling failure gracefully, not just the happy path Learn more about our architecture and tech stack here: Introduction to epilot | epilot dev center What you bring - Production-grade coding skills — you write backend code that runs reliably in production, not just prototypes - Cloud experience (AWS preferred) — you've shipped to the cloud and managed infrastructure with IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation - Event-driven architecture & async messaging — you understand message queues, pub/sub patterns, and why they matter for integration work - REST API design and consumption — comfortable building and consuming APIs as a core part of your work - Auth mechanisms — you know how OAuth2 and API key authentication work and when to use each - Reliability patterns — you think about retries, idempotency, dead-letter queues, and circuit breakers as standard practice, not afterthoughts - Serverless fundamentals — you understand the paradigm and can reason about when it makes sense (hands-on experience is a plus, not a requirement) - German language — business fluent or native; you'll be communicating directly with German-speaking partners and vendors - Partner-facing communication skills — you can manage external relationships independently, follow up, push back when needed, and keep integrations on track without needing a PM to run interference Mindset - Ownership. You care about production. - Product thinking, not ticket thinking. - Pragmatic problem solver. - Comfortable with ambiguity. What we offer you At epilot, we believe in rewarding performance, fostering growth, and creating an environment where you’ll thrive: - A 100% serverless AWS product at scale. - Impactful work: Help shape the integration backbone of a product that’s reshaping the energy sector. - Startup mentality: Dynamic atmosphere, flat hierarchies, open communication. - Flexibility: Work remotely or from our centrally located office in Cologne, with flexible working hours. - Growth opportunities: Your career can grow as fast as we do. Learn, experiment, and embrace a “Fail Fast and Often” mentality. - Competitive compensation: We take your desired salary seriously and value performance. - Team spirit: Regular events like summer parties, company breakfasts, and our annual DevSummit & epilot summit with co-epilots worldwide. - Transparency & openness: Everything is open for discussion in our inclusive and supportive culture. We are looking forward to your application!
