What awaits you with us

  • Design, Develop, and Operate: Design, develop, and operate services within our User Management domain, which currently includes several backend services and a dedicated instance of Keycloak.
  • Technical Authority: Take end-to-end charge of Keycloak-related technical topics, driving significant architectural decisions, and securing alignment across teams within our backend guild.
  • Modern Practices: Develop software following modern practices: API first, code reviews, automated tests, MR environments for exploratory testing before a merge, and some tasteful experimental AI augmentation.
  • Tech Stack: Work hands-on with our existing tech stack, which is mostly JVM-based (Kotlin, Micronaut), with some components written in Python and Go.
  • Deployment and Operations: Deploy (Kubernetes, Helm) and monitor (Grafana, Sentry, Mixpanel) your services within the team, with the support of our SRE team for on-call duty.

What you bring to the table

We're seeking a deeply specialized engineer who is highly collaborative and ready to solve mission-critical identity challenges.

Must haves

  • Demonstrable Deep Expertise in Keycloak: Proven, hands-on experience in the architecture, configuration, deployment, and operational tuning of Keycloak.

Nice to haves

  • Experience with JVM-based toolstacks, ideally with Kotlin and Micronaut.
  • Familiarity with PostgreSQL.
  • Exposure to Messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka).
  • Background in SaaS environments.

What we offer you

  • Work mode: We’re remote-first, giving you flexibility to work from home. At the same time, we deeply value the power of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, you’ll join occasional team events, workshops, or meetings in our Berlin or Stuttgart offices - always with plenty of notice. The exact balance will be discussed during your interview.
  • Work-Life-Balance: We don't want you to grow roots to your desk chair. That's why we cover the costs of your E-Gym-Wellpass membership and offer job bike leasing.
  • Celebrating success: Expect highly motivated and committed people in a relaxed working atmosphere.
  • Be part of something bigger: You actively shape Flip in your role. Along the way, you are an enabler of the rapid growth process of a young tech company and grow towards your goals, fun is guaranteed.
  • Happy to be a Flipster: Stay tuned for regular team events and culture days that bring us together as Flipsters.
