Job Description

Mid-Level Backend Developer

Genki

• We're looking for a Mid-Level Backend Developer to help build and evolve the core system that powers our products and operations. • You'll join as the second developer in our backend team, reporting to our Lead Backend Developer. • Our backend runs on Kotlin with a custom framework built around event sourcing. • You'll need to be comfortable reading code, asking questions, and finding your way through a system that's still being shaped. • You'll build new features, improve testability and reliability, and help evolve the architecture over time. • You'll need to build deep understanding quickly and be comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. • We're moving fast, increasingly with AI-agentic development tools. You should have some hands-on experience with these tools and a genuine drive to go deeper.

Job Requirements

  • Experience**
  • You've worked on larger backend systems in production and understand the complexity they bring.
  • You've worked in complex product domains and can ramp up quickly on business logic that isn't always obvious.
  • You're comfortable with event sourcing, event-driven architecture, or similar patterns.
  • You care about code quality: readable code, meaningful tests, and clean APIs.
  • You have some experience with AI-agentic development tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and want to go deeper.
  • Our current tech stack**
  • Language: Kotlin with coroutines
  • Framework: Custom, built around event sourcing
  • Billing: Stripe
  • Infrastructure: Heroku (migrating to Railway)
  • AI-agentic development: Claude Code with custom plugin
  • APIs: GraphQL
  • Working style**
  • You pay close attention to the details and take pride in getting them right.
  • You're curious and self-driven. You dig into unfamiliar code, ask good questions, and figure things out.
  • You'd rather understand why something works than just make it work.
  • You're comfortable making decisions when not all the information is there yet.
  • You've worked in a startup or scaleup and know what that pace and ambiguity feels like.
  • You thrive in a fully remote, async-first team and know how to communicate clearly without meetings for everything.
  • You're as open to different ideas, opinions, and to people with different cultures, backgrounds, and interests as we are.

Benefits

  • 💰 Up to 5,000 EUR/month (depending on experience) with employee equity participation through a vesting program
  • 🏝 Fully remote, from anywhere in the world & live as a digital nomad if you want to (the country list above are just examples)
  • 🕗 Flexible hours, startup atmosphere
  • 🌍 Most of the team is in Europe and Southeast Asia, with a few hours of daily overlap around German business hours
  • 💻 Company-issued and managed MacBook, plus a desk in your favorite co-working space
  • ✈️ 25 days paid annual leave
  • 🤝 Regular team off-sites to connect in person
