We at Match on Monday are hiring for an international, founder-owned software company with a “grown-up startup” mindset. The product is a mission-critical, multi-tenant white-label B2B2C SaaS platform used by serious customers and partners. You’ll join a skilled, collaborative engineering team with real ownership, working remote and/or from Berlin.

Technical leadership & coaching

• Lead and develop backend engineers through coaching, best practices, and hands-on collaboration

• Help shape an engineering culture built on curiosity, kindness, craftsmanship, and constructive feedback

Backend engineering & architecture (Java)

• Design and implement solutions primarily in Java with high impact and a high degree of autonomy

• Make pragmatic architecture decisions and balance long-term quality with short-term delivery needs

Platform development

• Maintain and enhance the core multi-tenant white-label B2B2C SaaS platform

• Build new product capabilities with AI, either standalone or integrated into existing services

Quality & delivery

• Continuously improve the development lifecycle with modern methods and technologies—individually and as a team

• Propose, review, and improve solutions together with colleagues across disciplines

• Review test cases, designs, and code developed by other team members

Ownership & cross-functional collaboration

• Co-own significant parts of the runtime together with in-house SREs, embracing “you ship it – you own it”

• Collaborate closely with Front-End, QA, Infrastructure, and Data teams on interfaces, shared definitions, and common objectives

• 5+ years of experience building Java backend systems, ideally with Spring, Hibernate, and modern development tooling

• At least 1 year of experience in a lead role (e.g., Team Lead / Tech Lead) with responsibility for coaching, enabling others, and raising engineering standards

• Experience in a startup or fast-moving product environment, comfortable adapting quickly and making progress through change

• Confident taking systems from idea to production, including debugging and problem-solving across the stack

• Experience with monoliths and microservices, including asynchronous communication (queues, events, messaging)

• Practical use of AI tools for personal productivity and in what you build

• Solid understanding of data structures, relational models, and different backend patterns—and the judgment to choose what fits best

• Strong collaboration skills (clear written communication, pairing, whiteboarding/discussion)

• Fluent in English

• You care about the team’s success, are reliable and respectful, and help people grow technically and personally

• Note: You don’t need to meet every requirement—please apply even if you cover only part of the profile.

• Attractive salary and vacation policy

• Flexible working hours and mobile work / remote options

• A modern, well-designed office in Berlin with startup-style amenities

• A generous annual personal development budget

• Team events and celebrations

• Subsidy for a sports/fitness membership
