Our Development teams are distributed along the customer journey, each being completely in charge of their corresponding part of our platform and according services and systems. They operate in a vastly autonomous and self-managed way: we live up to our belief in flat hierarchies and self-organized network structures where leadership happens in a lateral manner and teams are enabled to make their own decisions within our exciting roadmap. This empowers everyone to a great extent - by sharing responsibility and decision-making amongst all colleagues.

This includes email, sms and most important: our fully automated dialer for in- and out-bound calls as core service for our loan advisors. In addition to that we constantly optimize main parameters of the customer experience by data-driven experiments around customer value, timings etc.

  • Ensure that all services of our customer communication run with high stability and all traffic is properly managed and tracked.
  • Conceptualize and build new functionality as well as improve existing systems and services.
  • Take active part in the decision-making processes of your team (goals, timelines, stack, etc.).
  • Work closely with our PO to plan and continuously develop new features for the team’s domain
  • Involvement in the development and maintenance of the team’s products end to end in line with our “you build it, you run it, you own it” philosophy which also includes DevOps tasks.

 

YOUR PROFILE
