Company mission
To empower and enable customers' in-house packaging teams to exceed their goals, replacing old means of communication with a state-of-the-art digital platform.
Role
Who you are
- Experience: 4+ years of experience in backend software development, with a strong product-focus
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for backend development, as well as experience with RDBMS (especially PostgreSQL), AWS services & cloud architecture. Experience with React or Vue.js for frontend engineering are a big plus
- Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and address complex issues as well as refining data schemas and workflows
- UI Development: Ability to build and maintain supporting UIs that aid in the integration process, leveraging modern frontend technologies, would be a plus
- Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- General Requirements: You live in Berlin, speak fluent English, and you want to work in a hybrid work model
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer, you will work with our CTO and Tech Lead on a daily basis, focusing on backend web application engineering and supporting the entire team with your versatile background and a strong product focus
- Software engineering is not just a job for you, but your passion, and you love to try out new technologies and approaches and improve existing products
- In addition to having a passion for software engineering, it is particularly important to us that you are a team player and enjoy working with your colleagues in our office, building the next generations of our platform
- Your focus will be backend web application engineering, but everyone in the team works full stack with a strong product focus. That means, we first and foremost build products, that bring value to our users
- You maintain the existing API services as well as build and operate the next generations of our Packmatic platform, that serves our customers, suppliers, and partners
- We currently use NestJS in the backend. We store our data in PostgreSQL, communicate via REST APIs and message queues, and deploy our apps with Docker in our fully automated AWS cloud infrastructure
- TypeScript everywhere – but we always chose the best tool for the job, and we look forward to relying on your expertise making future decisions
- DevOps is not a person, It's our mindset. You deploy your code to production, you deliver functionality and value to our users – "You build it, you run it!"
Our take
The €1T global packaging market suffers from fragmentation and low digitisation, making sourcing a headache for both buyers and suppliers. Customers battle opaque pricing and cumbersome processes, while suppliers struggle for visibility and market reach. This translates to missed cost savings, wasted time, and limited access to sustainable options.
Packmatic tackles this head-on with its fully digital packaging marketplace. Launched in 2021, it connects businesses to a network of over 400 European suppliers in just a few clicks. Its platform matches companies of all sizes with the right supplier for their needs, unlocking an average of 15% cost savings and opening doors to sustainable alternatives.
With rising price pressures and sustainability demands across industries, Packmatic is poised to disrupt the market and become a category leader. Its tech platform offers a win-win solution, optimising costs and promoting sustainable packaging choices for a more responsible future.
