About the role

  • Design and build Kotlin services on PostgreSQL and Google Cloud.
  • Work on our FHIR integration with insurer and clinic systems.
  • Keep patient data safe: you will help us pass our next ISO 27001 audit.
  • Share on-call for the platform, one week in five.

What you will bring

  • Five or more years building backend systems, ideally in health, finance or another regulated field.
  • Experience with relational data modelling and API design.
  • Care for the people on the other side of the data.

Pay and benefits

Two office days a week in Kreuzberg. 30 days of leave, a public transport ticket, a yearly learning budget of 1,500 EUR, and a company pension contribution.
