As a Staff Software Engineer within our Retail – Transaction domain, you’ll take technical leadership across two engineering teams responsible for one of the most critical customer journeys at Redcare Pharmacy. Combining deep hands‑on engineering with Staff-level influence, you’ll shape how our checkout capabilities evolve across web, backend and, increasingly, native mobile experiences while creating technical alignment across connected areas such as payments, orders and shipping.

This is an opportunity to influence beyond individual features or a single codebase: you’ll help set architectural direction, raise engineering standards and turn complex business and technical challenges into scalable solutions used by millions of customers across Europe.

React.js, Next.js, Java, Spring Boot, SwiftUI, Swift, Kotlin, Android SDK, ES6, ESI, Varnish, Docker, Google Cloud, Kubernetes. While this is a remote position based in Germany, it may require occasional on‑site collaboration at our offices in Berlin or Cologne, depending on business and team requirements.

You bring deep, hands‑on frontend engineering expertise with React and Type Script, combined with professional backend development experience in at least one language or framework (e.g. Node.js, Java, Python or similar). You're comfortable working across the stack, contributing to production backend services and APIs, and taking ownership of customer-facing applications. You have operated at Staff/Principal level or demonstrated equivalent technical scope, with experience designing complex systems and driving architectural decisions that affect multiple teams or domains.

Other senior engineers seek your input, and you’re comfortable creating technical alignment where there are competing requirements, constraints and opinions. You have a strong record of leading through influence and growing other engineers. You can mentor experienced engineers, facilitate architecture and design discussions, introduce engineering standards and create an environment where teams can make high‑quality technical decisions without making yourself a bottleneck.

You combine technical depth with strong business and product judgement. You work effectively with Product, UX, Security, SRE and engineering stakeholders, use metrics and evidence to guide decisions and think beyond the immediate solution to achieve the best outcome for the wider organisation. Experience with checkout, payments, orders, e‑commerce or marketplace systems is a strong plus; exposure to native Android/Kotlin or iOS/Swift development would be valuable for where the domain is heading.
