HELLO THERE! PEOPLE AT HUMANOO ARE HAPPY TO GREET YOU!
At Humanoo, we’re building technology that’s smart, scalable, and genuinely human.
As our Senior Backend Engineer (Java), you’ll be at the heart of shaping the backend systems that power our digital health and wellbeing platform. Your work will enable personalised, data-driven experiences for thousands of users striving to lead healthier, more balanced lives every day.
In this role, you’ll design, build, and optimise backend microservices that support our mobile app and HealthOS platform. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, QA engineers, and fellow developers in a cross-functional team, taking ownership of the full feature lifecycle — from design and development to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
This is an opportunity to build meaningful technology that impacts real people while working with modern architecture, clean code, and a team that values craftsmanship and collaboration.
Location: Candidates based only in Berlin

• Design and implement systems that deliver personalised user experiences and reliable integrations with our partners.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features — from concept, coding, and testing to deployment and operations.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and technical standards through our backend guilds.
• Collaborate with product owners to refine technical solutions and continuously improve platform performance.
• Work in an Agile environment with CI/CD and multiple deployments per day.
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING TO THE TABLE:
• Minimum 4–5 years of experience in software development with Java and Spring Boot (mandatory).
• Solid understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems.
• Experience with AWS, Git, and Docker.
• Sound object-oriented design and clean coding principles.
• Familiarity with Maven and Hibernate is a plus.
• Comfortable working in Agile teams and participating in frequent deployments.
