Tiermedizin neu gedacht - mit dir!
We are seeking a Mid-Senior Full Stack Engineer to take ownership of key services and drive the next phase of our platform's evolution. As a critical member of our engineering team, your role is not just about building features, but applying your significant software development experience to meaningfully scale our core platform architecture. You will:
  • Architect and Implement: Actively contribute to the design and implementation of highly scalable services across the full stack (frontend and backend).
  • Drive Technical Ownership: Work closely with product and operations teams to translate complex business needs into robust technical solutions, leading features from concept to production deployment.
  • Scale for Hyper-Growth: Address real-world challenges related to performance, reliability, and security as we expand rapidly across Germany and beyond.
This is an incredible opportunity to shape a category-leading healthcare brand and make a tangible technical impact on a rapidly scaling business.
Warum bei Rex? Ganz einfach:
Join Rex, where engineering is key to revolutionizing pet healthcare. We are tackling the complex challenge of digitally transforming the veterinary industry, designing and building a high-availability, scalable platform that powers both an exceptional customer experience and efficient, data-driven clinic operations. Having validated our model, we are now entering a phase of rapid, multi-region scaling, requiring robust architecture, deep technical ownership, and innovative solutions. Come build the system that supports our rapid growth across Germany and beyond.
Spannende Aufgaben warten auf Dich:
As a Mid-Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will be expected to deliver high-quality code and drive technical excellence in the following areas:
  • Full-Stack Development & Scaling: Architect, develop, and deploy robust backend services and APIs that power our operational tools, while delivering intuitive and highly scalable frontend experiences for both customers and staff.
  • Architectural Contribution: Actively participate in technical design discussions, propose solutions for non-functional requirements (performance, reliability, security), and drive improvements to our core architecture.
  • Quality and Maintainability: Uphold rigorous code standards by writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. Implement automated testing (unit, integration, and e2e) to ensure quality and prevent regressions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with Product, Marketing, and Operations team members to deeply understand business workflows and translate complex problems into effective, user-centric software solutions.
  • Elevate Engineering Standards: Champion best practices (e.g., observability, documentation, CI/CD) and foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Du verfügst über folgende Qualifikationen:
We’re looking for engineers who are passionate problem-solvers, not stack purists, but who have substantial experience with modern, high-growth technology stacks. If you’re excited to build great tools, adapt quickly, and care deeply about clean, scalable code— you’ll fit right in.

Must haves
To succeed in this Mid-Senior role, candidates are expected to demonstrate proven capability and confidence in our core technologies:
  1. Location Requirement:
    • Must be legally authorized to work and currently based in Germany. This is a mandatory requirement for this role.
  2. Experience & Ownership:
    • 4+ years of hands-on, end-to-end experience in software development, ideally within a high-growth, product-driven environment.
    • Proven ability to take full ownership of initiatives and features—from technical design and ideation through to robust production deployment.
  3. Required Stack Expertise:
    • Backend: Deep experience building highly performant, scalable services using Node.js and TypeScript (experience with frameworks like NestJS is a significant plus).
    • Frontend: Expertise developing complex, stateful web applications using React and modern frameworks like Next.js.
  4. Core Engineering Practices:
    • Strong grasp of modern engineering practices: CI/CD, comprehensive testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E), Event-driven or modular architectures, and API-first design.

Nice to have
These skills would allow you to make an even greater impact immediately:
  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with cloud environments (DigitalOcean or AWS), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines (Github Actions).
  • Data Layer: Advanced experience with Relational Databases, particularly PostgreSQL, including query optimization and schema design.
  • Asynchronous Processing: Experience with modern job queues, specifically BullMQ or similar robust task processing libraries, for managing background jobs and ensuring system reliability.
  • Mobile (A Strong Asset): Experience with React Native for cross-platform application development.

Mindset we are looking for:
  • You see technologies as tools—not constraints—and can choose the right one for the job.
  • You’re comfortable jumping between stacks and solving complex, cross-functional challenges.
  • You value quality, simplicity, and iterative development that delivers incremental business value.
