We are a team responsible for the catalogs, and these catalogs are essential to the core functionality of SAP LeanIX. They contain extensive knowledge about almost all available software. Our goal is to make accessing this information a pleasant experience for both our customers and internal teams. We achieve this by developing intuitive and efficient services, APIs and user interfaces. Although we work independently, we collaborate closely with other teams. We rely on real customer insights and collect metrics to make informed decisions.

We are looking for a motivated Senior Backend Engineer to join us on our journey to grow and achieve our goals. You are the perfect candidate if you are passionate about delivering customer value, technical excellence, and working collaboratively as part of a diverse team.

At SAP LeanIX Product and Engineering, we embrace a hybrid remote work model, which allows us the benefits of in-person collaboration along with the flexibility to work from home as needed. Therefore, we hire only within commuting distance to our hubs in Bonn, Ljubljana, Berlin, and Dresden, and we expect our employees to come to the office multiple times per week.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? Well, there are multiple reasons:

• We're on a strong growth trajectory in terms of ARR and team size while scaling in a sustainable and profitable way, making us successful in even challenging economical phases.
• Our products are industry-leading with happy customers and a NPS of 70. Our culture of empowered product teams means we solve problems instead of implementing features. We drive our efforts through close contact with our customers and measuring how they use our products.
• We build it, we run it. We ensure customers can rely on resilient and performant products. We stay ahead of trouble through a high degree of automation, alerting, SRE practises and On-Call. There is no dedicated operations department in place at SAP LeanIX.
• We prioritize continuous improvement, collaboration and knowledge sharing. We constantly iterate on our engineering practices and skills to build a software architecture that supports fun at work and long term success of the business.
• We value open access to leadership, transparency and personal development. We successfully enabled many software engineers to grow along with the company into engineering manager or technical lead positions. You’ll continue this success story while we offer you opportunities to grow.
• We value a healthy life balance and our employees make room for interests and relations outside of their job. We offer a hybrid working environment, providing a high grade of flexibility while meeting colleagues in one of our offices from time to time.
