Senior Software Developer (w/m/d)

HORL 1993 – from the Black Forest to the kitchens of the world

We love products that work, are stylish and feel good for every application. With our HORL® range, we want to create experiences, create enthusiasm and provide wow moments. We want to enrich people's lives and become an integral part of the world's kitchens. With our roller grinders, we want to make it possible for everyone to sharpen knives in such a way that cutting really makes joy. With uncompromising quality and the goal of creating products that long accompany their owners.

After Timo and Otmar Horl's design and construction competencies were the first generation of roller grinders, we left the local factory cellar and are represented today with two office locations in Freiburg. Together with our growing team, we continue to write the HORL® history and look forward to attracting more and more people both nationally and internationally.

If software is to scale, it needs clear structures, clean code and a deep understanding of architecture and processes. This is exactly what we are looking for: As a Senior Developer (w/m/d), you bring your technical know-how into a modern SaaS platform – with a clear focus on performance, wartability and technical excellence.

Platform Development & System Architecture: You develop our scalable SaaS platform – focusing on modularity, performance and wartability. You work according to domain-based architecture principles such as domain drives design and actively engage in architectural decisions.

Frontend & Backend Development: You work with TypeScript (Next.js/NestJS) and uncouple UI and business logic cleanly from each other. Your code is structured, reusable and testable.

Interfaces & Data Integration: You develop and maintain APIs (REST, GraphQL, Webhooks) and ensure a reliable connection of internal and external systems. You also build data pipelines and ETL processes with Dagster, Python and Snowflake.

DevOps & Infrastructure: You run automated CI/CD processes with GitHub Actions and Docker and manage our AWS infrastructure using Terraform – reproducible and scalable.

Quality & Testing: You ensure code quality through structured reviews, testing strategies, naming conventions and tools like SonarQube. You always have a look at performance optimization.

AI & Automation: You are using AI-based tools and agents to efficiently automate recurring processes and actively drive technical innovations.

Teamwork & Development: You work closely with other developers, design, data and DevOps teams and continuously shape our technical platform – hands-on, analytical and solution-oriented.

You have a completed study or a comparable training – or convince us as a cross-comer*in with relevant projects.

You bring 5–7 years of professional experience – ideally in agencies or comparable projects with high technical complexity.

You control TypeScript (Next.js, NestJS), Python (for ETL & AI prototypes), Node.js, Kotlin or Java as well as SQL.

You have experience with modern DevOps methods: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Testing Frameworks, Docker.

You know software architecture: Domain-Driven Design, Event-Driven Architecture, Modularization and Tool-Orchestration are familiar to you.

Ideally you bring know-how in areas such as snowflake, dagster, AI agency frameworks, sonarQube, shift-left security or design system integration.

You work independently, structured and solution-oriented.

You are a team-capable, open, communication-strong in German and English – and, in addition to architectural thinking, also brings a strong hands-on mentality.
