Job teaser

What you can expect

  • Lead a team of engineers designing, developing and operating our employee communication platform (backed by PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ), including specifically our structured, chat-driven workflows.
  • At least 70 percent of your time is hands-on engineering work, the remainder is spent on technical leadership tasks.
  • Our Flows subsystem is mostly written in Go with some PHP / Symfony, other parts of the system are built on a JVM-based (Kotlin, Micronaut) stack.
  • We work remote within international (mostly European), cross-functional agile teams.
  • We develop software following modern software engineering practices (API first, code reviews, automated tests, MR environments for exploratory testing before a merge, and some tasteful experimental AI augmentation).
  • We deploy (Kubernetes, Helm) and monitor (Grafana, Sentry, Mixpanel) our services within the teams, with the support of a separate team of SREs for on-call duty.
  • Join customer calls together with your product manager to understand their specific problems and empower your team to build solutions that cover a majority of customer contexts.
  • Take charge on technical topics that are important to you, driving significant decisions, and seeking alignment across teams within our backend guild.

What you bring to the table

We're seeking a skilled, experienced engineer ready to step up and own complex challenges.

Must Haves:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, working on backend systems
  • You have designed, implemented, deployed and operated event-based backend services, ideally including data-heavy integrations with other systems.
  • You feel comfortable moving between two major tech stacks:
    • you have experience with Go for backend services.
    • you have some experience with the JVM-stack (preferably Kotlin / Spring).
  • Excellent communication skills, that enable you to directly work with customers, partners and other important stakeholders
  • Interest in developing your own skills and those of your team

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience working in SaaS startup environments
  • Experience with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ
  • Experience with PHP / Symfony
  • Fullstack development experience

What we offer you

  • Work mode: We’re remote-first, giving you flexibility to work from home. At the same time, we deeply value the power of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, you’ll join occasional team events, workshops, or meetings in our Berlin or Stuttgart offices - always with plenty of notice. The exact balance will be discussed during your interview.
  • Work-Life-Balance: We don't want you to grow roots to your desk chair. That's why we cover the costs of your E-Gym-Wellpass membership and offer job bike leasing.
  • Celebrating success: Expect highly motivated and committed people in a relaxed working atmosphere.
  • Be part of something bigger: You actively shape Flip in your role. Along the way, you are an enabler of the rapid growth process of a young tech company and grow towards your goals, fun is guaranteed.
  • Happy to be a Flipster: Stay tuned for regular team events and culture days that bring us together as Flipsters.
  • Working abroad: At Flip you can also work abroad in the European Union. Let's talk about remote work in the interview.

At Flip, everyone is welcome - no matter what gender you identify as or how old you are. Sexual identity, origin, religion, world view and disabilities do not influence your potential job at Flip. The most important thing is that YOU fit in!

About Flip GmbH

Learn more about Flip GmbH and their company culture.

View company profile

In 2018, our founders recognized a critical gap in workplace technology: while desk employees had countless digital tools, frontline workers - the retail associates, manufacturing teams, healthcare staff, and logistics crews who keep businesses running - were left disconnected and uninformed. They saw warehouse bulletin boards, missed shifts, and frustrated employees who couldn't access company information. So they built Flip, a platform designed from day one to put the employee experience of deskless workers first.

Today, Flip has evolved into the AI-powered employee experience platform trusted by global enterprises like Bosch, MAHLE, McDonald's, and Ben & Jerry's. Based in Stuttgart with offices in Berlin and a remote-first culture across Europe, we unite internal communications, HR self-services, and operational workflows in one intelligent, secure app. Our platform doesn't just deliver information - it transforms how frontline teams connect, learn, and work. Whether it's checking payslips on the go, swapping shifts seamlessly, or accessing company news in multiple languages, Flip gives every employee the tools they need to thrive. We're on a mission to revolutionize how frontline workers experience their workplace, one connection at a time.
