Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development, preferably in fast-paced or startup environments
- Experience with AI coding tools like Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf
- Strong expertise in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, async processing, scheduling tools like Composer/Airflow)
- Solid knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, and React
- Comfortable navigating cloud environments, preferably Google Cloud Platform
- Deep experience with database design and management, including:
- Relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL)
- NoSQL systems (especially Google BigQuery)
- Query optimization, data modeling, and debugging performance bottlenecks
- Hands-on experience with API design, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated testing (unit + E2E frameworks)
- Sharp debugging skills and a solutions-oriented mindset—you enjoy the challenge of resolving system issues
- Confidence in ownership, independent delivery, and navigating ambiguity
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend foundation and a startup mindset to join our fast-growing Growth & Insights team—this time with a new challenge
- You won’t just be building products from scratch; instead, you’ll step into a pivotal role supporting and evolving two actively growing SaaS platforms: ASAI and Press Play
- This is an opportunity to shape product maturity, scale features, and reduce incidents—without compromising on creativity or autonomy
- Resolve live incidents and manage ad hoc stakeholder requests, especially data-related issues impacting analysts and clients
- Build new features and evolve existing ones across ASAI and Press Play, helping shift both products toward greater autonomy and self-service
- Reduce technical debt and improve system reliability through pragmatic problem-solving and robust engineering
- Switch seamlessly between short-term reactive work (bug fixes, support) and longer-term proactive work (feature development, architectural improvements)
- Work hands-on with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL and BigQuery in particular), ensuring performance, scalability, and resilience
- Collaborate directly with engineers, analysts, product managers, and the team lead
- Help build and maintain a healthy DevOps pipeline across GCP, with ownership over incident response, app stability, and API performance
- Contribute to team practices (e.g., testing, documentation, and coding standards), while bringing a founder-like sense of ownership to your work
Our take
Berlin-based Phiture is an award-winning mobile growth consultancy and agency working with the teams behind some leading apps. The founders previously worked together as growth managers for SoundCloud and during this time noticed an impending surge in the mobile industry, hence had first-hand experience on how to successfully market a company in this field.
The agency is considered one of the fastest-growing companies of its kind and has accrued impressive clients including Headspace and Adobe. Phiture has been working to expand its US presence in order to become the ‘worldwide’ consultancy for mobile growth. It also acquired the app early-testing tool ASO Giraffe, which it has re-launched as Replika, in order to build out its software toolkit for app teams.
