Role Description Immovara ist ein junges Start-up, das innovative Produkte für die Immobilienbranche entwickelt (RentUpp). AI ist bei uns nicht nur Feature, sondern die Grundlage unserer gesamten Arbeitsweise - wir nennen das "AI-First". Unser Stack: Laravel, Vue.js, Inertia.js, dazu PostgreSQL und AWS. Und natürlich die AI-Werkzeuge, die zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt die besten am Markt sind. - Features bauen: von der Idee bis zum Deployment. Keine Wasserfall-Specs, sondern Eigenverantwortung. - Mit AI Lösungen entwickeln: Claude Code, LLM-APIs und AI-gestützte Workflows sind bei uns kein Experiment, sondern der Standard. Du baust Features schneller, weil Du AI als Multiplikator einsetzt. - Produkt mitgestalten: Du sitzt mit am Tisch, wenn wir neue Produkte und Features planen. Deine Meinung zählt vom ersten Tag. - Infrastruktur mitbauen: CI/CD, Datenbank-Architektur, API-Design - pragmatisch und ohne Silos. Qualifications - Du kennst Dich sehr gut mit Laravel, Vue.js und SQL aus und kannst schlechten AI Slop von exzellentem Code unterscheiden. - Du hast eigene Projekte gebaut - ob SaaS-Tool, Open-Source-Projekt, App oder Bot. Zeig uns, was Du gebaut hast. Das zählt mehr als jedes Zeugnis. - Du nutzt AI als Entwicklungswerkzeug - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex oder ähnliche Tools sind für Dich keine Spielerei, sondern Alltag. Du weißt, wie man mit AI schneller und besser entwickelt. - Du arbeitest eigenständig - nicht weil Du musst, sondern weil Du es so willst. - Du magst Startup-Tempo: Morgens die Idee, nachmittags auf Staging, abends live im Produkt. Benefits - Direkter Impact: Kleines Team, großes Produkt. Was Du baust, nutzen Kunden noch am gleichen Tag. - AI-First in der Praxis: AI ist bei uns nicht das Produkt-Feature, sondern die Art wie wir arbeiten. Claude Code, LLM-gestützte Workflows, agentic Development - Du lernst hier, wie Software-Entwicklung zukünftig überall aussehen wird. - Flexibles Remote-Modell: Arbeite von wo Du willst. Wir arbeiten remote, aber synchron - kurze Wege, schnelle Abstimmung. - Echte Verantwortung: Keine Hierarchie-Ebenen zwischen Dir und den Entscheidungen. - Tolles Team: Wir halten zusammen, helfen uns gegenseitig und haben Spaß an dem, was wir bauen.
