About the role
Ready to become part of the most important mission on this planet?
We are rebuy, pioneers in the sustainable reuse of electronics and media, and we are looking for you! Our mission: to make circular living accessible to all, one transaction at a time. By giving products a second chance, we reduce resource consumption and avoid unnecessary e-waste.
Our global team of 500 drives things forward collaboratively, takes personal responsibility, values constructive critical thinking, and is dedicated to serving our customers and planet.
The Role
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Software Engineer who loves working in a team and has a strong getting-things-done attitude.
You will be part of a small but fun team of 4 people working on some of the most business-critical and technically interesting parts of rebuy's platform. Our scope covers AI-powered customer support automation, payment systems, and marketplace integrations (Amazon, eBay). We build on a modern, actively evolving stack, and we expect everyone on the team to use AI tools as a natural part of their workflow.
Key Responsibilities:
Write code that is simple, readable, testable, and maintainable, whether you write it yourself or with the help of AI tools
Conduct code reviews, give helpful feedback, actively contribute in team discussions and decisions
Know the sweet spot between implementing beautiful and charming solutions which incorporate all existing software design patterns and just getting it done
Suggest changes to our software that simplify the technical architecture of individual services or pay down technical debt
Actively take over ownership for projects and collaborate with different teams across the organization
Maintain existing services and contribute to developing the new solutions
Requirements:
2+ years of professional software development experience in Kotlin or Java (mandatory)
Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your daily work, and a clear sense of where they help and where human judgment matters most
Strong Computer Science fundamentals in algorithm design, data structures, problem-solving, and complexity analysis; these matter even more when you're reviewing and steering AI output
Knowledge and experience with database design
Extensive experience with relational databases, including Postgres
You are not dependent on libraries (or AI tools), but know when, where, and why you should use them
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and comfort with build automation and dependency management tools like Maven
A collaborative mindset and experience working across teams and functions
Curiosity, openness to learning, and the confidence to step outside your comfort zone
Clear and direct communication
