Middle Software Engineer (m/f/d)

At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership.  

We’re looking for a motivated and skilled Middle Software Engineer to join our Geo Information Systems team – Supply Division. We build and operate an end-to-end platform that ingests, processes, and visualizes real-time vehicle and ride data, providing valuable insights to both customers and internal users. 

You'll work on some of Flix's most visible products, building backend services that process large scale streaming data and power real time experiences for millions of passengers every day. Our backend has recently been rewritten in Scala 3 around Kafka Streams, so you'll be building on a modern foundation rather than maintaining legacy systems. 

You'll join a well-staffed, friendly, and diverse team where engineers take ownership, share knowledge, and help each other grow. While our stack includes Scala, Kafka Streams, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform, we care more about strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and a willingness to learn than experience with any particular technology. 

About the Role

• Build backend services and streaming applications that power real time insights for millions of passengers.
• Help evolve our engineering practices by strengthening automated testing, expanding end-to-end test coverage, and improving the reliability of our delivery pipeline.
• Take ownership of services throughout their lifecycle, from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Work closely with a friendly, cross-functional team to solve complex technical challenges and deliver high-quality products.
• Help shape our engineering culture through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and pragmatic decision making. 

About You

• At least 4 years of experience in software development in a similar role
• Experience with a JVM-based language (we use Scala)
• Experience building web applications (HTTP APIs)
• Infrastructure and CI/CD experience (e.g. Terraform, GitLab CI)
• Ownership mindset: defines metrics and KPIs for your work, takes responsibility for output quality, and automates repeatable tasks where possible
• Basic data analysis and modelling skills; prior experience with spatial data is a bonus
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Proactive, solution-oriented team player with a knowledge-sharing attitude 

Nice-to-Have

• Experience building streaming applications with Kafka (AWS Kinesis, or RabbitMQ)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, infrastructure management, and CI/CD practices for building and maintaining reliable software delivery pipelines. 
• Experience working with spatial or geolocation data, including GPS coordinates, routing, mapping systems, or location-based services. 
• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services and cloud-native application development. 
• Exposure to Machine Learning concepts, tools, or applications in a software engineering environment. 

We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!  

What We Offer

• Travel perks: 12 free Flix vouchers + 12 discount vouchers for friends & family. 
• Work from (M)Anywhere: Depending on your role, work from another location for up to 60 days per year. 
• Hybrid work model: We are an office-first company, but we offer flexibility to balance work and life. 
• Wellbeing support: Access confidential 1:1 counselling, courses, and stress management for yourself and up to four family members. 
• Learning & Development: Take advantage of language classes, training courses, and expert-led sessions to grow your skills. 
• Mentoring Program: Connect with experienced colleagues to gain insights and accelerate your career.
