Job Zusammenfassung
In diesem Job entwickelst du skalierbare Java-Services und betreibst sie auf AWS und Kubernetes, indem du Agenten orchestrierst und gleichzeitig Architekturentscheidungen triffst. Du definierst CI/CD-Pipelines und verbesserst die systematische Arbeit der gesamten Engineering-Org.
Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- You own backend services end-to-end: architecture, implementation, infrastructure, deployment, production, scaling.
- The difference from a traditional senior role is leverage - you're expected to operate at 10-20× the throughput of a classical engineer by orchestrating agents rather than typing every line yourself.
- You stay the architect and the reviewer.
- The agents do the volume.
- Design and operate high-throughput, low-latency Java services (JDK 17+) on AWS, K8s, Terraform, ArgoCD.
- Build resilient distributed components and tune memory, concurrency, and GC for real production workloads.
- Architect MySQL and Redis layers handling millions of player rows.
- Own CI/CD, observability, and on-call for systems you ship.
- Run an agentic workflow that holds up under code review: precise specs, tight feedback loops, generated tests, validation gates, your judgement as the final filter on architecture, security, and performance.
- Help define how the rest of the engineering org adopts agentic practices - tooling, review standards, what "done" means when an agent wrote 80% of the diff.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- Distributed systems, concurrency, GC tuning, SQL optimisation are second nature.
- Deep AWS and cloud-native stack (K8s, Docker, Terraform).
- A real agentic coding practice.
- You can talk concretely about: how you structure prompts and context for long-running tasks, when you let an agent run autonomously vs. when you intervene, how you manage multi-agent setups, what you've built with MCP / custom tools / skills, and how you review agent-generated code without becoming a bottleneck.
- Strong analytical decomposition - the ability to turn fuzzy product asks into precise constraints both humans and agents can execute against.
- Architectural judgement.
- You design clean, resilient systems; you don't just accept whatever the agent produces.
- Excellent written English.
- Seeking full-time remote roles (within Germany, valid German visa required) or Freelance opportunities within the German timezone (CET/CEST).
Erfahrung
- 6+ years backend Java, expert level.
Unser Angebot
- You'll work on systems players interact with every minute, at a scale where engineering decisions show up immediately in metrics.
- You'll help set the bar for what agentic engineering looks like in a 30+ person backend org that ships real products - not a lab, not a pilot.
- High autonomy.
- Remote within the German time zone.
- Engineering-first culture.
- Genuinely interesting technical surface area: Java, MySQL, Redis, AWS, distributed systems, plus the meta-problem of how to run all of it agentically without sacrificing reliability.
