Friendsurance | Sr. Back-End Engineer (Java) | Full-Time | Hybrid | Berlin, Germany | Relocation

"Dealing with insurance should bring a smile to your face" - We’ve been chasing that bold mission for 14 years — still founder-led, still independent, and one of the very first Berlin fintech startups that is still around and thus deeply connected.

We operate in the bancassurance domain and serve German Banks and Insurances, exploring international expansion. Our flagship product is a B2B2C Multi-Tenant Whitelabel SaaS platform.

Our team is small, our culture is high-supportive/low-directive, and our stack is pragmatic Java. We experiment with AI prototypes, but we value engineers who care more about clean code and thoughtful tradeoffs than the latest hype.

We’re hiring for Germany (hybrid, relocation supported) — if you’re curious, say hi!

Our software platform dramatically improves the experience for small and medium enterprises to get financing. With our proven marketplace we give more choice for better and faster access to various financing products with a focus on an end-to-end digital value-chain. While this seems like your classical B2B-FinTech startup-story, we believe that with our 4 years of existence we have a considerable head-start and are set for up for growth due to our independence and efficient product-matching capabilities. Yes our platform is focused on the German market but the team is very international and we currently pursue strong international partnerships.

Our tech-stack is neither fancy nor conservative with React, Typescript SPA powered by a Django monolith API slowly breaking up into go services, all using Docker. Our cross-functional tech-team (engineers, product- and UX experts, QA, data) is 20 heads strong.

We aspire to high standards and constant learning in everything we do and therefore look to hire experienced professionals that can further boost our engineering culture and who share our values of simplicity and understanding.

Other features:

  100% Remote if you want (+-4hrs of CET)
  An attractive remuneration package.
  Flexible working hours
  Active support in your personal development via individual training and coaching, frequent in-depth feedback and other activities in a comprehensive scheme
  Experienced managers and team-members who encourage and support your freedom to explore the problem space
  Flat hierarchies, open communication and company transparency, high standards
  A largely untapped B2B sector with strong growth expectations
  A nice office with a great atmosphere in the heart of Berlin
  A diverse and multinational team
  Any hardware or software that you need
  Hackathons
Your first Interview would be with me (CTO) or one of our engineers.

I haven't been following gnunet.org for quite a while but I remember from years ago that it offers plausible deniability for nodes, aside from solid sounding review of their crypto.

I am on-and-off conversing with the team at meetter ever since we started using it for some of our meetings. They are very responsive and helpful.

The concept is solid but it takes a cultural shift which can be hard. I am all for less but better meetings and condensing the schedules.

If someone would ask me to describe what meetter is I would say "An automated team assistant that tries to make sure that all topics of your org can get focused meeting time in one or multiple big blocks"

"Good" orgs will push for a commitment that everyone is available at the _same_ time slots, say 2 hours every Mon, Wed, Fri. Meetter (and well created topics) will do the rest and nobody needs to juggle.

Prerequisite is having enough meeting spaces or being more remote as the number of _parallel_ sessions (formerly called breakouts) is dynamic.

Edit: also the slack integration is great, makes creating topics a breeze and helps transparency.
