Our Mission: We're on a mission to digitize the packaging industry with data, process automation, AI and great UX to increase the market share of sustainable packaging.
We help companies to reduce material usage, increase recyclability, use recycled plastics, substitute ordinary plastics with alternatives or replace plastics with flexible paper.
Now, we’re expanding our impact by bringing a new SaaS product to the market, which optimizes packaging procurement and management for our customers and makes a significant contribution to reducing their environmental footprint.
Our Team: We're a team of smart-working builders who love to take ownership and leverage technology. Our team combines substantial product-building, industry and commercial experience, under the guidance of seasoned leaders who have built billion-dollar companies in the past.
Packmatic just closed a 15M Series A funding round and is backed by leading investors (e.g. EQT, HV Capital), who supported companies like Zalando, Flixbus & HelloFresh in their early stages. If you share our passion and motivation for shaping the future of an entire industry within a digital startup in the heart of Berlin, join us!
Your Tasks
- Your focus will be backend web application engineering, but everyone in the team works full stack with a strong product focus. That means, we first and foremost build products, that bring value to our users
- You maintain the existing API services as well as build and operate the next generations of our Packmatic platform, that serves our customers, suppliers and partners
- We currently use NestJS in the backend. We store our data in PostgreSQL, communicate via REST and message queues, and deploy our apps with Docker in our fully automated AWS cloud infrastructure.
- TypeScript everywhere – but we always chose the best tool for the job and we look forward to relying on your expertise making future decisions
- DevOps is not a person, It’s our mindset. You deploy your code to production, you deliver functionality and value to our users – “You build it, you run it!”

- You are familiar with relational database systems, having worked with PostgreSQL is a plus
- Having experience with React or Vue.js and frontend engineering is a big plus
