Description

We're building something bold inside ablefy — a fast-moving AI Incubator team focused on launching entirely new products that drive revenue beyond the core. Think of it as a startup within a scale-up: small, empowered, and business-first.

As our Full-Stack/Backend Engineer, you'll help shape 0→1 products where AI meets commerce — with direct impact on seller success, customer journeys, and our bottom line. You’ll work side by side with product, design, and growth leads who move fast, love shipping, and are obsessed with finding signal in noise.

• Drive technical decision-making on architecture, stack, scalability, and deployment.
• Work hands-on in Ruby on Rails and Python, owning both backend services and integrations.
• Deploy and maintain systems in cloud environments (AWS, Docker, Heroku, etc.).
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and growth to test, learn, and iterate fast.
• Build and integrate AI-powered capabilities that create user and platform value.
• Contribute directly to business strategy by connecting tech decisions to MRR outcomes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend experience with deep expertise in Ruby and 2+ years in Python.
• Strong hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems from scratch.
• End-to-end understanding of cloud deployment, CI/CD, and devOps basics.
• Comfortable navigating fast, iterative cycles with shifting priorities.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of product ownership.
• Clear communicator who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

• Contributions to open-source or incubator/startup experience.
• Prior experience in the FinTech or e-commerce industry.
• Knowledge of security best practices for web applications.
• Experience with machine learning or AI integration in backend systems.

Benefits

• Paid Time Off - 30 vacation days.
• A competitive salary.
• A personal training & development budget of € 1,500 per year.
• Responsibility and trust from day 1.
• Individual coaching and further training to support you in your development.
• A free BVG ticket.
• Employee discounts at numerous companies (e.g. at the gym or in online stores).
• Pension Program with company match.
• A Culture of equity and Inclusion where you are appreciated for the person you are.
