Companies you'll love to work for

Taktile is a high-growth, post product-market-fit start-up, on a fast trajectory to becoming market leader in the field of automated decisioning. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team on the journey of building our decisioning products! If you are passionate about building technical products, have gathered experience working with AWS, Python, SQL, ideally at scale, and enjoy woking as part of an awesome team that empowers you to grow, then this position is perfect for you!

• Primarily work on backend and utility components written in Python / FastAPI, hosted on an AWS serverless architecture: Maintain the code, give in-depth reviews of pull requests and improve the component's CI/CD.
• Engage actively in team rituals such as daily sync, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions.
• Grow as an individual and maximize your career progression by learning from our experienced team, as well as joining our cross-team learning groups.

Requirements:

• Taktile is a hybrid company with options to work from either our Berlin HQ in Germany or the lasi Hub in Romania. Taktile will not cover relocation services for this role.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential as we operate in a remote environment requiring clear and effective communication.

• DynamoDB/Posgres/Pydantic/AWS Lambda/SQLAlchemy
• Prior experience with high throughput data streaming architectures.

• Prior industry experience with Python backend. At least one prior work experience is required - this is not an entry-level position.
• Experience with databases and AWS services
• Proficient in RESTful API development and management.

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.
• Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company.
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.
• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe.
• Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.
• Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.
• Receive a new Apple MacBook Pro, as well as meaningful home office set-up.

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.
• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
