Über acemate
acemate is building an AI learning & teaching platform for higher and further education institutions. We have strong traction, secured funding and are entering an exciting growth phase. We're looking for a passionate Senior Backend Engineer / Developer to drive our product forward and help us scale.
Aufgaben
- Own the system end-to-end: You're in charge of the infrastructure you create. That means managing the whole lifecycle—starting with data modeling and API design, right through to shipping and monitoring it in production. You will continually refine our core architecture to ensure the Effect & TypeScript codebase stays incredibly robust, type-safe, and easy to maintain.
- Push beyond basic endpoints: You'll be taking on the heaviest lifting for our platform. Instead of just wiring together standard CRUD operations, you'll architect the complex asynchronous workflows, deep authorization rules, and advanced AI pipelines required to genuinely solve tough problems for our users.
Anforderungen
- 2+ years of software engineering experience with strong TypeScript skills
- Startup experience: You're comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments
- Balanced AI approach: You knew how to code before Cursor and Claude Code, but understand how to leverage them effectively
- Product passion: High identification with our mission to transform education
Benefits
- Competitive salary package with equity component
- Fully covered Deutschlandticket
- BusinessBike (bike or e-bike via leasing, also for private use)
- Working in a small but driven team built around performance and learning
- Flexible environment with high degree of autonomy
- Frequent team events and acemate parties!
