Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

Probably the least boring job you’ll ever have.

At air up, we don’t just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there’s no going back. Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.
Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You’ll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life. It's refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won't be boring.

Welcome to air up.

The business operations and supply chain software delivery team is empowered, mission-centric and responsible for air up’s back-office platform. This includes evolving our new microservices- based platform and serverless functions to further automate key business processes.

As a Software Engineer, you are part of a delivery team and responsible for building, testing, shipping and running new features for our backend services and internal-facing UI. We expect you to be comfortable working with multiple programming languages and modern cloud infrastructure. Given our high standards when it comes to automated testing and deployment, you will also contribute to our CI/CD infrastructure, to help deliver software into production continuously.

If you’re looking for autonomy and purpose, are passionate about good software design and engineering practices and thrive in dynamic, highly collaborative environments, you will feel right at home with us.

That´s you

  • You have 4+ years of work experience as a software engineer.
  • You have good knowledge of Kotlin/modern Java and/or other JVM-based programming languages.
  • You have as much of a passion for building great products as you do for writing great code.
  • You are strongly aligned with agile, lean and DevOps values and principles.
  • You are humble, open-minded and a strong team player.
  • You have excellent communication skills and thrive in ambiguity.
  • You feel comfortable in a fully-remote setting with quarterly gatherings in Munich.

At air up®, we believe life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and our potential should be fully explored. Yet, modern life’s daily grind is hardly designed for humans. It induces stress, doom-scrolling, sugar rushes, and endless hours on the couch. We become less energized, less creative, and less happy. Neglecting our health, we eventually miss out on life’s excitement. Air Up is here because change is long overdue—starting with a simple, yet bold, idea.

Our mission is clear: Healthy should be simple. Saying yes to water should not be a tough sip. We all know what’s good for us—it’s simple: good sleep, plenty of water, healthy food, regular exercise, and lots of love! However, we know that doing the healthy stuff is hard with stress, convenience, and temptations. We don’t take advantage of our weak spots. Instead, we bring you back to the simple things that are truly good for you—using your cravings as a tool for change. Pure water and natural flavor are at our core. We promise never to use addictive sugars or unhealthy ingredients. By combining science and creativity, we make the healthy stuff more enjoyable, transforming hydration into an experience. Discover playful, natural flavors delivered through pure water—nothing hidden, no fake ingredients. Join us in revolutionizing hydration, because drinking more water should feel natural and effortless.
