Flip is the AI employee experience platform for frontline and deskless workers. The platform unites internal communications, HR self-service (payslips, time-off, onboarding), AI-native intranet, AI workflows, and frontline identity management into a single, mobile-first app that works on any device — including shared phones without corporate email. Flip includes an AI layer (Flip Intelligence / Ask AI), an app builder and integrations with existing tools (SharePoint, Teams, HR systems), and targets industries with large deskless workforces. Customers cited include Ben & Jerry’s, Bosch, KFC and PENNY, demonstrating use across retail, food service, manufacturing and logistics.

📋 Description

• Cross-functional Collaboration: You will join a product squad and work closely with designers, product managers, and experienced engineers across backend, frontend, mobile, and AI. • Shift in Software Engineering: Driven by AI, the role is moving toward end-to-end ownership—focusing on understanding user problems, shaping product decisions, rapid prototyping, and validating ideas, rather than just coding from strict specs. • A Shared Transition: The company is undergoing this transformation itself; you aren't expected to have everything figured out from day one. • Key Traits Valued: What matters most is your curiosity, adaptability, strong engineering judgment, and a genuine willingness to learn new ways of working. • Growth and Support: You will receive the tools, practices, and team environment needed to evolve into a product-minded, AI-enabled engineer while continuing to deepen your technical expertise.

🎯 Requirements

• Backend Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Kotlin (or Java) and a web framework like Micronaut or Spring, ideally in a SaaS environment. • Cross-stack Mindset: Backend is your home stack, and you're willing to step into web or mobile when a feature calls for it. • Comfortable with AI Coding Tools: You use AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) as part of your workflow, or are eager to adopt them, to navigate unfamiliar codebases, bridge the gap to frontend, mobile, or infrastructure, and ship small, well-structured changes outside your home stack. • Ownership: You think in terms of user impact, not tickets. You ask "what would actually help the user — or what would bring me closer to understanding that?" and see it through: a prototype, instrumentation on existing features, a conversation with a PM or Customer Success - whatever the question calls for. You carry features through to rollout and observe their impact. • Nice to Haves: Experience pairing with designers or working directly from mockups/prototypes. • Instrumentation and experimentation experience (A/B testing, Grafana, Mixpanel, etc.). • Deployment with Kubernetes and Helm. • Experience with PostgreSQL. • Experience with messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka).

🏖️ Benefits

• 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. • Working abroad: At Flip you can also work abroad in the European Union. Let's talk about remote work in the interview.
