Junior Backend-focused Developer (m/f/d)

As one of the very first successful InsurTech companies, we at Finanzchef24 have been revolutionising the insurance industry since 2012 and now help over 55,000 businesses and self-employed people find the perfect cover for their business – simply, digitally and transparently. Of course, neither our innovations nor our success are down to chance: behind it all is a diverse team of over 40 creative talents who constantly challenge the status quo, blaze new trails and embody our values (#kicktraditions, #havefun, #keepitsimple and #makeithappen).

Are you looking for a job where your drive to make a difference counts for more than anything else, and where your success will (re)shape the insurance industry of tomorrow? Then we’ve got something for you!

Here’s how you make a difference:

• Contribute to an ambitious initiative to enhance our backend infrastructure, while improving the system architecture and performance through higher modularisation and reusability.
• Build new features for our products while also taking ownership of existing code and its maintenance.
• Depending on your interests, have a direct impact on the customer journey by improving our business insurance advisory application, or go deep on our business logic to determine quotes and manage our product data.
• Be involved and show interest in all team decisions, including our technology stack and ways of working.
• Share your knowledge with the tech team while also learning from other team members.
• Ideally, with support from the frontend team, make small changes in our React and Next.js-based frontend application when needed.

What you’ll bring:

You don’t need to tick every box below – we’re hiring for fundamentals and curiosity, not a finished CV. Graduates and career-changers are welcome to apply.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• A problem-solving mindset and curiosity to dig into technical and business-logic questions, with guidance from more senior team members.
• Enjoying and feeling confident working with Node.js and TypeScript.
• Sharing our values when it comes to code quality – validating through tests is part of it.
• Product-oriented, user-centered thinking and the drive to build something great.
• Good understanding of APIs – ideally GraphQL.
• A growth mindset and a willingness to take on new challenges, contribute ideas, and continuously improve both individually and as part of a Team.
• Bonus: basic exposure to Kubernetes and AWS – we rely on both for deployments, but you don’t need this to start.

What we offer:

• High ownership, autonomy, and the ability to influence technical decisions
• A collaborative, international, and highly skilled engineering team
• Structured onboarding and pairing with senior engineers to help you grow into the role
• A flexible learning budget, including a team trip to a major conference each year
• 30 days of holiday – plus Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
• Flexible working hours combining days in the office and working from home.
• Work from anywhere in the EU: up to 20 days per year with complete flexibility.
• Wellhub access: a contribution towards fitness, wellness and mental health.
• Monthly Deutschlandticket for stress-free and sustainable travel.
• Free drinks, fresh fruit, and regular team events.
