Role
We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer (m/f/d) who not only writes excellent code but also contributes actively to the technical evolution of our platform backend. In this role, you’ll develop scalable applications, optimize our existing architecture, and ensure our systems are reliable, high-performing, and built for the future.
You’ll work closely with software architects, QA engineers, product owners, and fellow developers—actively participating in code reviews, pair programming, and key technical decisions. If you live for clean code, enjoy sharing knowledge, and have a sharp eye for architecture and performance, this is the place for you.

journaway is not a typical travel tech company. We’re the Anti-Holiday platform. We want our users to design and experience their bucket list dreams, to travel in a sustainable and social way, to get to know and fall in love with our beautiful world and its many hidden gems. To achieve this, we aim to revolutionize how people plan and book their trips. By seamlessly combining flights, hotels, excursions, rental cars, and more, we empower travelers to build customized travel experiences with ease. Our technology removes complexity to allow the user to focus on what truly matters - the journey itself.
