Software Engineer (f/m/d) – Backend / Kotlin 

About us

At ecolytiq, we envision a world where consumers know their individual impact on the environment and actively contribute to a better world every day. We are making this vision reality by partnering with financial institutions to educate and empower consumers to make everyday choices that matter.

Our Sustainability-as-a-Service® solution is at the forefront of sustainable finance and enables banks and financial service providers to show their customers the environmental impact of their purchasing behavior - purchase by purchase, transaction by transaction. We use a science-based, open-standard methodology to calculate environmental impact in a way that is both transparent and personalized, and our transaction-based approach is a powerful way to inform everyday decisions, ultimately helping consumers make more sustainable choices.

Role Overview

We are looking for a motivated and driven Software Engineer to join our dynamic team at the intersection of banking and sustainability.

Your Mission

• Join the software engineering team and work in close collaboration with product owners and other internal stakeholders.
• Work on a modern tech stack including Kotlin, Spring, RESTful APIs, gRPC, and Kubernetes, all running on cloud infrastructure.
• Take responsibility for the whole software development lifecycle from challenging and refining requirements, creating concepts, implementing and testing them, shipping the software to maintaining the software in the long term.

• You understand the challenges of running and operating software in production, with a sense for reliability, scalability, and performance.
• You have strong communication skills in English.
