We are looking for a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to build and evolve the backend systems that power Apheris' federated computing platform. The role involves designing, implementing, deploying, and operating backend services used in production by leading pharmaceutical companies.

Requirements

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs, primarily in Golang, with Python used where it best fits the problem domain.
• Develop, deploy, and operate software across both cloud and on-premise environments, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes as core platform technologies.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across engineering, quality, and product to deliver cohesive, end-to-end product functionality.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features, from technical design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operation in production.
• Contribute to system design and architectural discussions, helping evolve backend and platform components as the product and customer base scale.
• Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code, and actively participate in code reviews to uphold strong engineering standards.
• Improve reliability, performance, security, and observability of services running in distributed and resource-intensive environments.
• Debug and resolve issues across application code, containerized workloads, and infrastructure layers in both customer and internal environments.
• Continuously look for ways to improve development efficiency and software quality by adopting better tooling, workflows, and emerging technologies - including experimenting with modern developer tools and AI-assisted workflows where they add real value.

Benefits

• Industry-competitive compensation, including early-stage virtual share options.
• Remote-first working – work where you work best, whether from home or a co-working space near you.
• Great suite of benefits, including a wellbeing budget, mental health benefits, a work-from-home budget, a co-working stipend, and a learning and development budget.
• Generous holiday allowance.
• Office Days at our Berlin HQ or a different European location (3x a year).
• A fun, diverse team of mission-driven individuals with a drive to see AI and ML used for good.
• Plenty of room to grow personally and professionally.
