Senior Software Engineer Backend - Java/Rust (f/x/m)

THE COMPANY

Humans globally face unseen challenges while transforming their businesses. Competing in a digital and borderless economy is complex and the pace of change keeps increasing. The inter-dependencies and exponential behavior of cause-impact relations are growing. It’s getting harder to decide and navigate between things that actually have an impact. That’s why we’re building Field33.

Our mission is to help people deepen their understanding and impact on organizations. Combining empirically proven success factors and local data into specific multi-dimensional graphs to model the entire complex for relatable actions at fingertips. We enable organizations to tap into an ecosystem of domain experts and researchers applying knowledge in real-time. We strongly believe in the diversity of organizations and therefore also in that of our team being able to holistically master the challenges we will face.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a driven Senior Software Engineer - Backend (f/x/m), who will help us to build the tools and platform for the future of organizational data. Software Development at Field33 is not only about writing Code. You need to be able to make good architectural decisions, ship quality code, and distill an ambitious long-term vision down to milestones and issues. We don’t draw a hard line between our engineering and data research colleagues, we all work on the same stack and share work, knowledge, and tools. We do fundamental knowledge graph + machine learning research and we deliver commercial quality software that puts it to use. You consider yourself polyglot? We mostly work in (Java, Rust, Python), but dip into other languages when it makes sense to.


We are looking for a software engineer who combines technical, communication, and analytical capabilities and who will have the opportunity to design and develop creative, compelling, and cutting-edge systems that support our mission.

The role will be based in Berlin.
