About
Join our FRIDA2 team as a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer - Angular/TypeScript (d/f/m) and be on the frontline against online fraud.
We develop and maintain core services for our fraud prevention platform FRIDA2. As part of our cross-functional engineering team of backend and frontend engineers, you'll own frontend components end-to-end — from design and implementation to operation and monitoring — and own the backend-for-frontend layer that powers them. You'll also help evolve the platform's architecture alongside the wider team.
Our distributed architecture is built for scalability and performance. Our broader stack: Angular and Node.js for frontend and BFF, JVM-based services (mostly Scala) for the backend, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and Kafka in the data layer, all running on Kubernetes. We own our components end-to-end, giving you real responsibility and the freedom to make key decisions on how requirements are implemented. We follow agile practices, collaborate closely (e.g. pair programming, code reviews) and value open, constructive communication.
How We Work with AI
AI-assisted development is part of our daily workflow. We cover the licenses for the tools our engineers use — currently Claude and Cursor — and we actively encourage the team to experiment with new ones as they emerge. We expect engineers to evaluate AI tools critically and integrate them into how we build.
Tasks
* Design, develop and maintain modern SPAs using Angular, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
* Own and extend our backend-for-frontend layer using Node.js (NestJS, Hono).
* Integrate with databases such as MongoDB and Elasticsearch.
* Work with our Kubernetes-based setup to deploy, run, and monitor your services.
* Collaborate closely with backend engineers of different tech stacks and product stakeholders, and shape product features and architecture.
* Write clean, tested and maintainable code, while actively participating in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions.
Requirements
* Excellent written and spoken English is essential. Our team works entirely in English, much of it asynchronously, so we expect a high level of fluency and precision (German not required).
* You bring strong experience with TypeScript and Angular.
* Solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, and modern SPA development.
* Strong backend experience with Node.js. Our services mix NestJS and Hono depending on the use case — experience with any of these (or comparable modern frameworks) is what we're looking for.
* You are comfortable working with databases (MongoDB, Elasticsearch) and familiar with Kubernetes.
* You think in systems and can shape the bigger picture, not just the component in front of you.
* You're curious about other parts of the stack and open to occasionally working with our JVM-based services (Scala).
* You stand out for your commitment to clean code, documentation, and testing.
NICE TO HAVE
* You have experience with distributed architectures and SOLID principles.
* Reactive Programming (RxJS) is familiar to you.
* Knowledge of NgRx, NGXS, Kafka, and GraphQL, tRPC which you can apply in practical projects.
* You confidently use testing frameworks (Vitest and Playwright) to ensure code quality.
We offer the following benefits
* The possibility to take responsibility and realize your own ideas – from day one.
* Collaborative environment in which everyone works on eye-level.
* A team of experts and helpful buddies that allows you to learn something new every day.
* Very friendly, open and supportive working environment.
* Generous remote work guideline with emphasis on team alignment.
* Innovation days to pursue your personal/professional growth.
* Internal coaching and training sessions (our internal coaches may even help with non-work related topics).
* Budget for conferences, external training, etc.
* Access to two online learning platforms (Udemy und Masterplan).
* Social Days, i.e. paid time off for volunteer work on a project close to your heart.
* Possibility to take a sabbatical after 3 years of employment.
* Free choice between Linux or MacOS on powerful mobile hardware, and everything else you might need to be able to work efficiently.
* Lunch allowance up to 30,-€ per month.
* Public transport allowance up to 21,-€ per month.
* Bike leasing via JobRad with insurance allowance.
* Mental Health Initiatives.
* Reimbursement of travel expenses for company events 4x per year for Riskies living outside of Hamburg.
* Attractive discounts at various partner shops and gyms, e.g. 15% discount at www.otto.de or 10% discount at Fitness First gyms.
* Access to Otto Group's “Corporate Benefits” platform, which grants discounts with various partners (decoration, travel agencies, car rental, etc.).
* In the office in Hamburg: various free drinks and organic fruit delivered twice a week.
* Shower in the office enabling you to easily integrate active lunch breaks or a bike ride to work into your working day.
* Relocation support: constant contact person, issuing documents, help with public offices, translation support, etc.
* … and many more!
