💡 Why This Role Matters

At fiskaly, we're building the infrastructure for fiscal compliance across Europe — and we’re scaling fast. Our Sign DE product powers fiscal receipt processing for the German market, and you’ll play a critical role in its success. You’ll help shape secure, high-performance systems that power certified and uncertified components, ensuring compliance while enabling scalability.
This is a role for engineers who want real impact, ownership, and the chance to solve complex problems creatively — within meaningful regulatory frameworks.

🛠 What You’ll Do

• Own the backend development of the Sign DE solution
• Translate legal and compliance requirements into scalable, production-ready code
• Build and optimize APIs and backend services in Golang
  
• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to shape architecture and strategy
• Support and mentor junior team members
• Drive end-to-end delivery, from feature planning to monitoring in production
• Communicate regularly with stakeholders — including regulators
• Help create reusable solutions that can scale to other teams and markets
• You’ll actively apply AI/ML tools (e.g., code generation, anomaly detection, test automation) to enhance software quality, performance, and efficiency

✅ What You Bring

Must-Have Experience:

• 5+ years in backend development
• 2+ years working with Golang
  
• You’ve applied AI to improve backend systems—whether through automated scaling, anomaly detection, or intelligent logging
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and distributed systems
  
• Familiarity with Docker and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
• Experience with software architecture patterns and scalable backend design
• Proven ability to mentor junior developers and lead by example
• Full professional proficiency in English
  
  

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with GitOps and CI/CD pipelines
• Knowledge of Terraform, Ansible, or similar IaC tools
• Familiarity with RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, or Google Cloud services
  
• Agile mindset (without being process-heavy)
• German (C1)

🌱 What It’s Like to Work Here

We’re looking for people who take ownership — not just of code, but of the product and team. You’ll be part of a small, international team (currently based in Vienna), working with high autonomy in a fluid, collaborative culture.
This isn’t a “follow the spec” job — it’s a role for someone who sees problems, brings ideas, and drives change. You’ll be a technical leader, a partner to your PM, and a trusted voice in the architecture of our German solutions.

🎯 Why Join fiskaly?

At fiskaly, you’re not just filling a role — you’re helping shape how we scale, solve real regulatory challenges, and reimagine compliance across Europe. We offer a space where people have autonomy, impact, and room to grow.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Real ownership — work on products that matter, with the freedom to shape how they’re built
• Growth-friendly culture — we support trying, failing, learning, and iterating — fast
• 1–2 week onboarding in Vienna to meet your team and get fully ramped up
• Hybrid flexibility — Work from where you do your best work
• Hardware of your choice — Mac, Linux, Windows — you decide
• Development budget and regular 1:1s to build your own career path
• Access to mental health support — because well-being is part of performance
• Inclusive, diverse, and low-bureaucracy team — you’ll be heard, and you’ll make a difference
