Full stack welcome.\nBerlin or nearby, hybrid. Full-time, permanent. Start: as soon as possible\nWhat this is about\nCareship helps families find reliable support in everyday life: all across Germany, through self-employed caregivers and our own employed caregivers. Behind both stands a platform we built entirely ourselves, live since August 2026: a Python backend, an internal staff portal, an app for customers and an app for caregivers.\nThe system covers everything from the first inquiry to payroll: matching, scheduling, care budgets, billing with care insurance funds, payment processing and digital contracts, plus email, chat, WhatsApp and phone calls in one inbox. It is live, it runs the operations of two companies, and it grows every week.\nThis is why we are looking for the second person in our permanent engineering duo.\nYour role\nYou work as one of two engineers on our system, with a focus on the Python backend: data model, business logic, APIs and the integrations our operations run on. If full stack is your thing, the rest is open to you: the staff portal in Next.js and our two apps in React Native. You share responsibility and cover for each other, in everyday work and during vacations.\nYou build features from the data model through the business logic to the finished API endpoint, and all the way to the screen if you want.\n\nYou work on core topics like the budget engine, billing, the payroll pipeline and matching. Logic where diligence really counts.\n\nYou maintain code in production that real people use every day: our operations team, caregivers, and customers with their families.\n\nYou work directly with product and the tech lead, no layers in between. Requirements arrive as fully worked-out specifications from our knowledge base, not as two-line tickets.\n\nYou get freedom and real responsibility: the system is brand new, much of it is taking shape right now, and you help decide where it goes. The roadmap includes shift planning, analytics, a marketing module and an ambassador platform.\n\nOur stack\nBackend: Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2, Alembic, PostgreSQL, on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage)\n\nPortal: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, MUI, TanStack Query, generated OpenAPI client\n\nApps: React Native with Expo, shipped through the app stores\n\nIntegrations: Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Meet), Auth0, Aircall, WhatsApp and DATEV, plus payment and e-signature providers\n\nHow we work: AI-assisted. Specifications, code and reviews are created with AI support, as our everyday standard, not as an experiment.\n\nWhat you bring\nAt least 3 years of experience in professional product development, more is a plus\n\nSolid Python experience in production, ideally with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy or comparable frameworks\n\nConfidence with relational databases and SQL, PostgreSQL in our case\n\nYou already code with AI support as a matter of course, ideally with real enthusiasm. For us this is a requirement, because it is how we work every day.\n\nDiligence where mistakes cost money or trust: billing, payments, personal data\n\nFluent English. German is a plus.\n\nAppetite for a small team with a lot of responsibility and a direct line to the people who use your software\n\nNice to have\nTypeScript, React, React Native or Next.js, if you also want to work on the frontend\n\nApp store releases and Expo EAS\n\nGoogle Cloud, Google Workspace APIs, or experience with payment and e-signature integrations\n\nExperience in regulated domains such as health, care or fintech\n\nWebSockets and real-time features\n\nGerman language skills, since our domain and our specifications are in German\n\nWhat we offer\nA brand-new system with real room to shape it: two engineers, clear specifications, no decades-old legacy, and plenty of space to keep building\n\nFreedom and responsibility from day one, flat hierarchies, no meeting marathons\n\nReal social impact: your work helps seniors get support and makes sure caregivers are paid fairly and on time\n\nHome office with regular shared days at our Berlin office\n\nSeveral weeks per year of fully remote work, from abroad if you like\n\n30 days of paid vacation\n\nA new MacBook with serious power\n\nAn annual learning budget plus two extra paid learning days\n\nAn Urban Sports membership\n\nDeutschlandticket (Germany-wide public transport pass)\n\nRegular team events\n\nWhat happens next\nOur process is deliberately fast and straightforward, in three steps: a short intro call, a technical interview, and finally a small case study plus meet the team.\nNo need to send us a novel. Your CV, GitHub or LinkedIn profile and a few sentences on why this is exactly your thing are plenty.\nCompensation\nThe annual salary for this permanent, 40-hour-per-week role is EUR 60,000-70,000 per year.\nJoin us\nIf you match most of these requirements and want to apply your engineering skills to meaningful work, we encourage you to send us your application through the platform. We look forward to reviewing your background and discussing how you can contribute to our team in Berlin.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5106,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":true},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Apple Macbook","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Home Care Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T12:25:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/careship-backend-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/careship-backend-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T10:42:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15120,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173219},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173219"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcareship-backend-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcareship-backend-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcareship-backend-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/careship-backend-engineer-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcareship-backend-engineer-mfd"}]}
