Senior Backend Engineer (all genders)

Lumiform, founded in 2018, is a fast-growing SaaS startup from Berlin that operates globally.

A few months ago, we raised 6.4 Million in a Series-A financing round with Tier 1 SaaS investor Capnamic to transform the still untapped 164 billion inspection market.

Inspections take place in all major industries worldwide and are still mostly conducted by pen and paper, like cleaning documentation, risk assessments, maintenance reports, hygiene checks, safety walk documentation, etc. pp.

The Lumiform application enables deskless teams to digitalize and automate their inspection workflows. Over 30,000 organizations across 188 countries already use Lumiform and have submitted over 1.5 million inspections so far.

Our great team works passionately to enable businesses to exceed quality promises and make workplaces safe. A nice side effect: It is environmentally friendly and reduces the use of paper to a maximum.

We are looking for a talented Backend Engineer (all genders) who loves to write clean, high-quality code and who has the desire to learn continuously. You are welcome to work fully remote!
