Job Description

Millions of customers. One SIXT experience. Based in Pullach near Munich, you'll design and own the customer-facing distributed systems that power that experience. Work with Go, AWS, and Kafka in an agile, international team where AI-assisted engineering and high-quality software are the standard. Collaborate with product managers and business stakeholders to turn ambiguous problems into reliable, scalable solutions that serve customers across our global platform.

YOURS TO OWN

• You design, build, and own customer-facing distributed systems, from design through deployment and operation
• You build event-driven systems and define clear service contracts
• You turn ambiguous problems into clear tasks with defined success criteria, and flag risks early
• You use AI-assisted tooling to move faster, and put guardrails in place so that what you deliver is high quality and maintainable
• You work in a diverse, international team that uses agile methods and keeps improving how it collaborates
• You partner with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders, and challenge unclear requirements

• Collaboration & Growth You have a habit of continuous learning and a willingness to mentor teammates and onboard new joiners, combined with strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
