Your role and tasks

You will work closely with the technical lead and take on tasks along the entire development path: from data modeling and API design to the integration of external interfaces and optimization of backend processes.

• Implementation of features in the backend (Node.js, PHP, Python, Go or comparable languages)
• Data processing and interface integration (external APIs, Excel/CSV systems)
• Setup and maintenance of internal tools or small web modules
• Contribution to data structures, logging, scalability, and code quality
• Close coordination with product and technology teams to translate requirements into clear technical steps
• Active participation in the further development of AI‑supported applications and automations

Requirements

• Solid knowledge in a modern backend language (Node.js, PHP, Python, Go or comparable)
• Understanding of data formats (JSON, CSV, Excel) and clean data processing
• Basic understanding of DevOps or Cloud topics (Docker, monitoring, API design)
• Structured, independent working style – you don't like half‑finished solutions
• Willingness to take responsibility and to familiarize yourself with new topics
• Enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and the desire to integrate new technologies into our platform

Optional qualities

• Proactiveness and strong technical leadership skills with a focus on decision‑making
• Talent for mentoring other developers in the team
• Interest in learning new tools and technologies
• Experience working in a lean/agile development environment with distributed teams
• Experience with unit/integration testing

Benefits

• Remote‑first – work from anywhere
• Direct collaboration with technical management and quick decisions
• Creative freedom in architecture, tools, and implementation
• Environment where code quality and pragmatism are more important than formalities
• Platform that grows with you, both technically and organisationally

We look forward to your application!

DokuMe – because good organization makes the difference.
