About Jimdo We exist to unleash the power of the self-employed - helping solopreneurs and micro-businesses thrive by doing what they're passionate about and removing the complexity of building lasting, successful businesses. Jimdo started in 2007 when three school friends built a website builder in a Northern German farmhouse to help everyone build a presence online. Today, we're a profitable, remote-first company with 220+ people from 50+ nationalities working across 15+ countries. We've helped build over 36 million websites to get online across the world. We're more than just a website builder. We're an AI-powered platform that helps self-employed people actually run and build successful businesses — from getting found online, winning customers and running their business with a peace of mind by knowing exactly what to do next to move forward. At the heart of Jimdo is a strong belief in personalized, data-driven guidance. Our platform combines design, business tools, and an AI-powered core that turns real customer data into clear insights and next steps helping our customers focus on what moves their business forward. Role Overview : The Get Discovered team`s vision is to empower small businesses not only to get online - but to get found. That means helping them optimize for search, own their digital presence, advertise effectively, and track what’s working. As an Expert Backend Engineer, you’ll serve as a technical leader with deep backend expertise, driving architecture, system design, reliability, and engineering excellence. You’ll work on scalable backend systems, integrations with external partners, data flows, APIs, and operationally reliable services. At the same time, this is not a backend-only role. We expect you to contribute meaningfully across the product surface, including frontend work where needed. You should be comfortable collaborating with frontend engineers, understanding React and TypeScript codebases, and helping deliver end-to-end customer value rather than stopping at service boundaries. Working closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering teams, you’ll influence strategic decisions, lead complex technical initiatives, and help shape the future of AI-first software development at Jimdo. This is an expert-level individual contributor role with significant autonomy and influence. You'll act as a technical anchor across teams, championing modern engineering practices and leveraging AI to improve productivity, quality, and innovation. Your impact: Design and evolve scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems across frontend, backend, and data layers. Lead architectural decisions, define engineering standards, and drive Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). Own and deliver complex technical initiatives end-to-end, translating business goals into actionable technical roadmaps. Contribute meaningfully across the product, leveraging your holistic understanding of the system to help the team deliver complete customer outcomes—including frontend implementation when needed. Mentor engineers and elevate technical excellence through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and best-practice development. Champion AI-assisted engineering workflows and help teams leverage AI-first development practices. Drive improvements in testing, CI/CD, observability, system reliability, and operational excellence. Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering leadership to influence strategy and deliver customer value. Manage operational and technical dependencies with external vendors and partners, including platforms such as Google Workspace, domain providers, email services, and RankingCoach. What you bring: 8+ years of engineering experience in product-led environments, including experience operating at a technical lead, staff, or principal level. js.
