  • Support observability and monitoring by integrating tools such as DataDog or New Relic
  • Configure infrastructure using Terraform and AWS-native tools
  • Forward monitoring alerts from code to services like Watchdog for observability
  • Contribute to backend and frontend components depending on project requirements
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with global developers and system architects
What You’ll Bring
  • Several years of hands-on experience in TypeScript development (frontend or backend frameworks)
  • Proven experience with AWS Lambda development (Node.js preferred)
  • Knowledge of OpenAPI and SOAP interface design and implementation
  • Strong object-oriented programming skills and familiarity with interface-driven architecture
  • Experience in payload transformation between complex data structures
  • Conversational German proficiency (reading, writing, and verbal)
Nice to Have
  • Experience using observability tools (DataDog, New Relic)
  • Familiarity with AWS configuration via Terraform
  • General understanding of interface and API implementation in distributed systems
  • Exposure to SAP backend integration or SAP Cloud Platform (advantageous)
What’s On Offer
  • Work with a modern tech stack including AWS, Terraform, and bun
  • Dynamic projects in the utilities sector with complex integration requirements
  • Hybrid of startup energy and enterprise support—offering both innovation and stability
  • High-impact technical work with continuous personal and career development
