Role Description Baue mit uns Erlebnisse und Systeme, die Wirkung zeigen. Bereits in Wochen, nicht erst nach Quartalen. Bei DAYONE entstehen keine Konzeptpapiere. Wir bauen digitale Produkte, interne Tools und agentische Workflows für Unternehmen, die vorankommen wollen. Unser „Made with AI"-Ansatz bringt Strategie, Design und Engineering in einem nativen AI-Workflow zusammen. Als Senior Full Stack Developer bist du nicht nur Ausführer eines Briefs, sondern technologische Mitdenker:in. Du gestaltest mit, wie wir bauen und sorgst dafür, dass unsere Produkte nicht nur funktionieren, sondern wirklich halten, was sie versprechen. - Technische Verantwortung im Projekt: - Du übernimmst Architekturentscheidungen für Custom Web-Apps und digitale Plattformen – von der ersten Zeile bis zur Übergabe in Produktion. - Full Stack Ownership: - Du bewegst dich sicher zwischen React-Frontend und Node.js-Backend, triffst fundierte Entscheidungen zu Datenbankdesign, API-Struktur und Infrastruktur. - AI-native Development: - Du nutzt AI-Tools wie Cursor, Codex oder Claude Code als echten Geschwindigkeitshebel und hilfst uns, unseren „Made with AI"-Workflow kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln. - Rapid Prototyping im Kundenprojekt: - Du überführst Konzepte gemeinsam mit Design und Strategy in wenigen Wochen in testbare Pilot-Produkte, direkt im Kundenprojekt, nicht im stillen Kämmerlein. - Technischer Sparringspartner: - Du begleitest Kolleg:innen mit echtem Feedback auf Augenhöhe und hebst die technische Messlatte im Team durch Haltung, nicht durch Titel. - Explorer-Modus: - Du hast ein Auge auf neue Tools, Frameworks und AI-Entwicklungen und weißt, was sich lohnt zu testen und was Hype bleibt. Qualifications - Tiefes Full-Stack-Fundament: TypeScript, React, Node.js, du kennst beide Seiten des Stacks wirklich, nicht nur oberflächlich. - Architekturerfahrung: Du hast skalierbare Systeme verantwortet, Entscheidungen unter Zeitdruck getroffen und weißt, was dabei wirklich schiefgehen kann. - Cloud & DevOps: Sicherer Umgang mit AWS, GCP oder Azure, CI/CD-Pipelines, Containerisierung. - Projekterfahrung aus Agentur oder Beratung ist ein Plus. Du kennst es, mehrere Projekte parallel zu jonglieren und dich schnell in neue Domains einzuarbeiten. - AI-Affinität: Du nutzt LLMs und AI-Tools nicht als Gimmick, sondern als echten Teil deines Workflows und bist neugierig darauf, wie sich das weiterentwickelt. - Kommunikationsstärke: Du kannst technische Entscheidungen auch gegenüber Design- und Strategieteams verständlich machen und weißt, wann du pushst und wann du zuhörst. Benefits - Technologische Speerspitze: Du arbeitest nicht irgendwann mal mit AI, du prägst mit, wie moderne digitale Produkte heute entstehen. Budget für AI-Tools und Experimente ist gesetzt. - Projektvielfalt statt Monotonie: Von der maßgeschneiderten B2B-Plattform bis zur internen Automatisierungslösung, bei DAYONE ist kein Projekt wie das andere. - Impact ohne Warteschleife: Kurze Zyklen, direkte Kundennähe. Dein Code ist in Wochen im Einsatz, nicht nach dem nächsten Quartalsziel. - Lernkurve, die hält: Du arbeitest in einem Team aus erstklassigen Designer:innen und Strateg:innen, die deine technische Exzellenz verstehen und fordern. Weiterbildungsbudget, Konferenzen und Zeit für eigene Experimente inklusive. - Das DAYONE-Paket: Modernes MacBook Pro, Deutschlandticket, eine Kultur aus Vertrauen und Eigenverantwortung und ein Team, das seit 2012 weiß, wie man Dinge wirklich umsetzt.
