Job Description
PiNCAMP is the camping startup of ADAC, ANWB and TCS - in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as throughout Europe. An international team of more than 80 digital experts digitises the camping industry by combining the experience and reputation of our shareholders with the speed of an agile start-up. Our goal is to be Europe's leading camping platform. For our further growth we are looking for passionate hands-on people who want to grow with us and are eager to build an excellent product for campers and campsites alike.
Pincamp is in the ongoing process of transforming from an information portal into a transactional platform on which our users can find their camping vacation and directly book their stays in over 38 countries in Europe. We build an international and multilingual product and are constantly expanding into more countries.
Our cross-functional Product & Engineering-Team consists of more than 20 passionate Engineers, Product Managers, Designers and Program Managers, who help us create an agile work environment and build a great product with over 20 million visitors per year.
In your crucial role your responsibilities in particular will be:
- Taking ownership on building web apps, APIs, services and infrastructure for PiNCAMP
- Actively discuss and execute implementation details and software architecture together with other team members
- Advocate for improvements on product quality, security and performance
- Recognize impediments to our efficiency as a team and propose and implement solutions
- Embrace change and daily challenges while following the principles of the agile development methodology
We are aware that a good software engineer can master new languages on the way - we even learned a few ourselves building this product so far. Still, here's our ideal-world-scenario skill set:
- You have a proven track record and several years of experience in software development
- You are experienced in back-end and front-end application and API development
- You have experience developing in Python, Javascript or similar languages
- You also have experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and other technologies (e.g. PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ)
- You've delivered scalable, secure and robust architectures
- You have good knowledge of the English language
We're looking for people who bring unique skills and viewpoints to the table—who are willing to learn, grow, and add to our culture in their own authentic ways. Join us in creating a space where everyone thrives.
We are an international team and our company language is English. We use Code-Reviews, Pair Programming and TDD to breathe life into business ideas in an agile process. We are always open to new and other technologies and seek the right tool for every job. OKRs, regular retrospectives and chapter meetings help to align our compass every day. If there is an opportunity to benefit from something new, we discuss and decide inside the team.
We're committed to building an inclusive workplace that welcomes people of all backgrounds. We believe that diversity fuels innovation and that a team with varied perspectives strengthens our impact and ability to solve complex problems.
