We are Berlin Bytes. We are young and creative, we value diversity and freedom of expression — you’ve probably heard it from every single Berlin based digital agency though. What makes us different is the way we collaborate with each other and our partners. Since we offer full-cycle digital services (from Consulting/Research, UX/UI Design, Web Development to Marketing and Product Ownership) to our clients, we approach each job as our own in-house project. You can expect to deep dive into a great number of industries — our spectrum of clients ranges from upcoming Berlin Fashion Start-Ups to large Industrials. This allows us to provide you with a great diversity of projects that matches your skills and aspirations.

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer who will be the voice of the development team and help bridge the gaps between business, design and tech.

What you will be doing

• Build software for real-world use cases like e.g. QA traceability, B2B commerce, financial services or home energy management for a wide range of industries.
• Get involved in the complete software development lifecycle – from understanding the business need and brainstorming solutions in the requirements phase to setting up the tech team, system architecture, implementation and bringing the solution to production.
• Learn about concepts and technologies you haven’t worked with yet and apply them to the challenges our clients are faced with.
• Take ownership for the quality of the code and documentation that finds its way into the main branch.
• Identify and act on opportunities to improve how we work together as a team and company.
• Be the mentor you wish you had when you were starting out.

• Good understanding of authentication systems, common security practices and open standards (e.g. OIDC).

• Leadership experience or ambition – as we grow our capacities we are looking for people who are interested in taking on leadership responsibilities.
