Senior Backend Engineer (Java) – Operations and Mobility Partners Team

We’re looking for a skilled Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) to join our distributed team and help us shape the future of mobility operations. We’re building a mature, critical product within the Flix Operations ecosystem that coordinates fleet and rides between Flix and Mobility Partners. You’ll take ownership in driving decision-making processes, working in an environment with few strict guidelines on tech stack, giving you the freedom to experiment and innovate.

What you'll be working on:

  • You’ll collaborate with a distributed, self-organized, cross-functional team, taking full ownership of the development process and technical decisions.

  • You’ll have the opportunity to design new products from the ground up while continuously improving existing ones, with room to explore and implement cutting-edge technologies.

  • Drive the development process in an Agile environment, placing our users at the center of each solution you and your team create.

  • Lead technical decisions not just within your team, but across teams, improving technical excellence through collaboration and lateral leadership.

  • Help define and deliver products that optimize the coordination between Flix and Mobility Partners, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual tasks.

  • Be part of a team building a critical product within the Flix ecosystem—solving complex challenges due to product’s diverse user base and Flix’s global presence.

What makes you a great fit:

  • A strong product mindset, with a passion for user experience and a data-driven approach to decision-making.

  • 6+ years of experience as a Backend Java Engineer, with knowledge of distributed systems, including Spring/Spring Boot, Kafka, Axon, MySQL/Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, and S3.

  • Experience in making architectural decisions, and writing clean, performant, well-tested code.

  • Autonomy and ownership in solving technical challenges, as well as strong communication skills when working with a distributed team.

  • Fluent in English (upper-intermediate or higher).

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with DevOps and infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Gitlab CI, AWS, Terraform.

  • Familiarity with data engineering (ETL, Snowflake).

Backend Development: Java, Spring / Spring Boot, Axon, Kafka
Databases: MySQL / Postgres (RDS), Redis (Elasticache), MongoDB (DocumentDB)
Cloud Services: AWS, S3, SQS/SNS
