Senior Software Engineer (all genders) | Berlin, hybrid or remote

Responsibilities

At Aroundhome, we connect homeowners with trusted local partners — and you can help us make that experience even better.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join one of our cross-functional, domain teams focused on the partner journey.

In this role, you’ll shape how new partners experience Aroundhome from the very beginning. You will drive optimization by building a frictionless, digital journey, bridging the gap between initial registration and active partnership.

You’ll join a distributed, people-first engineering culture that values curiosity, autonomy, and continuous learning — and where your ideas directly impact both our users and the evolution of our technology and platform.

• Play a leading role in designing, building, and evolving our web-based applications in an AI-assisted environment (that support our business model)
• You’ll directly contribute to modernizing our architecture, stay on top of the latest development trends, and drive innovation by assessing and implementing new technologies and features. Contribute to and drive the modernization of our architecture, evaluate and implement new technologies and features, and help shape our technical direction
• Collaborate closely with product managers and your engineering colleagues, taking initiative and driving overall team exchange to deliver features that solve real pain points of our users
• Mentor and empower teammates through pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing, contributing to a culture of learning and growth
• Take ownership of the entire development lifecycle — from testing to go-live. Eliminate potential blind spots by implementing and improving observability best practices and actionable alerting
• Care about long-term stability and maintainability, knowing that development does not end after the release
• Champion quality and maintainability through clean, test-driven code and a mindset of continuous improvement

Skills

• You are a very experienced senior-level engineer with deep knowledge of Go and/or Ruby who stays up to date on new technologies
• You share a product engineering mindset, easily understand diverse business needs, and turn them into valuable features for our users
• You have expert knowledge of microservice architectures and experience working in cloud environments within agile, cross-functional teams. However, you don’t shy away from migrating our legacy services
• You strive for quality and apply clean code principles not only when implementing new features, but also when modernizing existing services
• You have a strong getting-things-done mindset and you always strive to improve — whether it's the code, the team, or yourself — and therefore communicate and collaborate proactively
• You are an absolute team player, enjoy sharing your knowledge and experience with others, and appreciate an open feedback culture
• You leverage AI to accelerate understanding and development of your codebase, uncover business insights, and drive overall productivity gains
