About the role
As one of the very first successful InsurTech companies, we at Finanzchef24 have been revolutionising the insurance industry since 2012 and now help over 55,000 businesses and self-employed people find the perfect cover for their business – simply, digitally and transparently. Of course, neither our innovations nor our success are down to chance: behind it all is a diverse team of over 40 creative talents who constantly challenge the status quo, blaze new trails and embody our values (#kicktraditions, #havefun, #keepitsimple and #makeithappen).
Are you looking for a job where your drive to make a difference counts for more than anything else, and where your success will (re)shape the insurance industry of tomorrow? Then we’ve got something for you!
Here’s how you make a difference:
Contribute to an ambitious initiative to enhance our backend infrastructure, while improving the system architecture and performance through higher modularisation and reusability.
Build new features for our products while also taking ownership of existing code and its maintenance.
Depending on your interests, have a direct impact on the customer journey by improving our business insurance advisory application, or go deep on our business logic to determine quotes and manage our product data.
Be involved and show interest in all team decisions, including our technology stack and ways of working.
Share your knowledge with the tech team while also learning from other team members.
Ideally, with support from the frontend team, make small changes in our React and Next.js-based frontend application when needed.
What you’ll bring:
You don’t need to tick every box below – we’re hiring for fundamentals and curiosity, not a finished CV. Graduates and career-changers are welcome to apply.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
A problem-solving mindset and curiosity to dig into technical and business-logic questions, with guidance from more senior team members.
Enjoying and feeling confident working with Node.js and TypeScript.
Sharing our values when it comes to code quality – validating through tests is part of it.
Product-oriented, user-centered thinking and the drive to build something great.
Good understanding of APIs – ideally GraphQL.
A growth mindset and a willingness to take on new challenges, contribute ideas, and continuously improve both individually and as part of a Team.
Bonus: basic exposure to Kubernetes and AWS – we rely on both for deployments, but you don’t need this to start.
What we offer:
High ownership, autonomy, and the ability to influence technical decisions
A collaborative, international, and highly skilled engineering team
Structured onboarding and pairing with senior engineers to help you grow into the role
A flexible learning budget, including a team trip to a major conference each year
30 days of holiday – plus Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Flexible working hours combining days in the office and working from home.
Work from anywhere in the EU: up to 20 days per year with complete flexibility.
Wellhub access: a contribution towards fitness, wellness and mental health.
Monthly Deutschlandticket for stress-free and sustainable travel.
Free drinks, fresh fruit, and regular team events.
