Schick uns deinen CV und ein paar Sätze zu dir. Kein formelles Anschreiben nötig.


**About us**

We are Paxly, a B2B SaaS startup based in Leipzig. We connect packaging buyers with suppliers through our smart procurement platform – think of it as the missing link between “I need 1,000,000 cardboard boxes” and “here’s the best supplier for your specs.”

We have hit product-market fit, have paying customers, and now we our looking to scale. Not just the product, also the engineering team.

**Who is behind this**

Three founders. Torsten is our packaging industry expert – he knows the domain inside out. Klaus and Hendrik are seasoned entrepreneurs with a track record of building and scaling companies. We have done this before. This time, we are doing it in packaging.


**The honest situation**

Right now, our tech team is tiny: one senior developer and our CTO. We are not a 50-person engineering org with layers of process. We are two people who ship things.

That is where you come in.

**What you will do**

You will be the third engineer – but really, the first hire that shapes how we grow. You will work across our main platform (Java/Angular) and touch our AI-powered document processing system (Python). You will help us build CI/CD pipelines, improve test coverage, and strengthen our engineering foundations.

This is not a “implement tickets from Jira” role. You ‘ll have opinions. You’ll push back. You’ll help us decide *what* to build, not just *how*.

**The tech**

Back-end: Java 17, Dropwizard, PostgreSQL

Front-end: Angular 16+

Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3), Docker, Redis

Side quest: Python/FastAPI

You don’t need all of it. Java + Angular is the core. The rest you can learn.


**What we are looking for**

3+ years of professional development experience

Strong in Java or a similar back-end language

Comfortable with Angular (or willing to get comfortable fast)

You’ve worked with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL)

You’ve touched CI/CD, Docker, or cloud infrastructure

You take ownership – “not my code” isn’t in your vocabulary

Bilingual: English (professional), German (B2+)

**Strong plus**

You know when to use AI coding tools – and when to write it yourself

Experience with modern AI approaches (LLMs, prompt engineering, AI-assisted workflows)

Python experience

AWS knowledge

You’ve worked in a small team or startup before

**What we offer**

**Hybrid Work**

Leipzig preferred, remote acceptable. Workation in EU possible.

**Flexible Working Hours**

Ownership, not time clocks. You organize yourself.

**Real Impact**

Your code runs in production, you decision matters.

**Salary**

55.000 - 75.000€ depending on your experience.

**Team-Events**

We meet 3-4 times a year for team events, because even the best remote culture can't replace a good beer.

**Startup with Substance**

Solid product, paying customers, zero bullshit.


**Our culture**

We win and lose as a team. (But mostly we win ;-))

No bullshit. No politics. No endless meetings about meetings. We say what we think, we fix what’s broken, we ship what matters.

We believe in a realistic workweek and work-life balance. We’re not impressed by rockstar culture or overtime heroes. But when the roof is on fire, we expect everyone to grab a bucket. That’s the deal.

If you’re looking for a place to grow inside a startup – to learn fast, take on responsibility early, and build something real – this is it.

**Not for you if**

You need detailed specs before writing a line of code

You prefer large teams with clear role boundaries

You want a 9-to-5 with zero exceptions, ever

**Our Proccess**

**Speed Dating (15 min)** – Quick mutual vibe check.

**In-Depth Interview** – With HR and your future manager.

**Meet the Team (optional)** – Because chemistry matters.

**Decision & Start** – Good fit? Let's go.

**Sounds interesting?** Send us your CV and a few sentences about why Paxly caught your attention. No formal cover letter needed.
