Staff Backend Engineer (f/m/d) - NodeJs

The Transformations team builds an experience that allows enterprise architects to model the IT landscape of the future. The team has a strong customer centric mindset: We actively participate in customer meetings to gather feedback first hand. Our mission is to:

• Support customers in business transformation use cases such as SAP S/4HANA Transformation
• Collaborate with other teams to create the next level of the transformation journey for our customers

For the Transformations team we are looking for a Staff Backend Engineer with strong skills in building and running robust and highly available Node.js services with a high focus on delivering customer value. Additionally having experience and willingness to contribute to our frontend (preferably with Angular) is a bonus as the team owns the product end-to-end.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? Well, there are multiple reasons:

• We're on a strong growth trajectory and with becoming a part of SAP our future is stable and secure which even allows us to accelerate.
• Our products are industry-leading with happy customers and a NPS of 70. Our culture of empowered product teams means we solve problems instead of implementing features. We drive our efforts through close contact with our customers and measuring how they use our products.
• We build it, we run it. We ensure customers can rely on resilient and performant products. We stay ahead of trouble through a high degree of automation, alerting, SRE practises and On-Call. There is no dedicated operations department in place at LeanIX.
• We prioritize continuous improvement, collaboration and knowledge sharing. We constantly iterate on our engineering practices and skills to build a software architecture that supports fun at work and long term success of the business.
• We value open access to leadership, transparency and personal development. We successfully enabled many software engineers to grow along with the company into engineering manager or technical lead positions. You’ll continue this success story while we offer you opportunities to grow.
• We value a healthy life balance and our employees make room for interests and relations outside of their job. We offer a hybrid working environment, providing a high grade of flexibility while meeting colleagues in one of our offices from time to time.

• Implementation of scalable, resilient & secure backend services in Node.js that contain key functionality to support our customers transformation journey
• Option to contribute to the implementation of our UIs based on micro frontends with Angular
• Collaboratively shape the products we build with a product-minded engineering mindset

• Passionate colleagues who are looking forward to share knowledge (see our blog!) and learn from you
• Shape the way we work. You know a technology that will improve our daily work or our product? Bring it on! Active participation is the name of the game.
