Principal software engineer Jobs in Hürth

Hey!

Imagine grassroots football finally had the platform it deserves.
Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too.
That's exactly what we're building every single day.

tl;dr

We’re looking for a Senior Mobile Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of our Flutter app and drive its technical evolution.

Main information

• Start: Immediate (flexible)
• Location: Cologne, Berlin or London
• Workload: Full-time
• Area of responsibility: Tech

Is this a match?

The most important basics – so we both know if it could work.

• Location: you’re excited to work either from one of our offices (Berlin Mitte, London, Cologne) or fully remote - whatever suits you best.
• Experience: you have at least 8 years of relevant experience and feel confident in your role.
• Mobile expertise and full-stack approach: you have hands-on experience building and maintaining mobile apps (iOS, Android, or cross-platform), understand the specific challenges of mobile development, and you want to build full-stack using agentic engineering.
• Startup mindset: you enjoy working in a growing team and dynamic environment – and ideally, you’ve already gained experience in a startup or similarly fast-paced setting and like building things from the ground up.

What you'll do - your playing field

This is how you move our mission forward every day.

• Feature development in our Flutter mobile app and across our stack with AI
• Senior enough to work autonomously in a product squad and contribute significantly to the quality of our code
• Code reviews and maintaining code quality standards across the mobile codebase
• Collaborate with Product and Design to translate requirements into technical solutions
• Performance optimization and stability of the mobile app
• Contributing to mobile architecture decisions
• Mentoring of Junior engineers
• Improving CI/CD pipeline for mobile releases

What you bring to the team

We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points.

• AI-First Development: You use AI not as an add-on, but as an integral part of a modern development workflow.
• Flutter Expertise: You have strong knowledge of Dart and Flutter and develop high-performance, high-quality mobile applications.
• Architecture & Code Quality: SOLID principles, clean structures and sustainable code quality are second nature to you.
• Mobile UX: You understand how good mobile products work – from UI/UX principles to proven design patterns.
• Quality Mindset: You work in a test-driven and quality-oriented manner and are familiar with common testing methods in software development.
• Collaboration: You impress with a positive, proactive approach and actively contribute to strong team dynamics.

Bonus

Not a must - but this'll definitely earn you extra points.

• Full-stack thinking: Ideally, you’ll also have knowledge of back-end and DevOps.
• Platform expertise: Experience in native Android/iOS development is a strong plus.
• Firebase stack: You have practical experience with Firebase as a building block of modern mobile architectures.
• Product Analytics: You use tools such as Amplitude and Braze to understand user behaviour and specifically increase engagement.

The Prematch Setup

We want you to love joining us - and still love being part of the team a long time from now. * Be part of it from the start – Shape how Prematch grows and transforms amateur football.

• Competitive salary – You’ll be paid fairly and transparently.
• Employee participation (VSOP) - directly benefit from the company’s success.
• Three cool offices in Cologne, Berlin, and London - true startup vibes to work and grow together. Want to visit another office? We support that too!
• Remote work - depending on your distance to the office, you work 1–3 days a week onsite and the rest flexibly remote (working from home at the start and end of the week is quite popular) - whatever suits you best. Tech & Product roles sometimes offer 100% remote.
• Remote, even from afar - Whether it’s a week of sunshine abroad or a few days with family - we allow flexible work from outside your usual location.
• Team spirit - whether in the office or at home, we use cool tools and a virtual office to keep the team tightly connected.
• Modern IT equipment - We provide the tools and devices you need to be productive.
• 27 vacation days per year - For your rest and to recharge. Plus special arrangements if you’re a parent, so you can better balance family and relaxation.
• Team events at our locations - Whether after work in Cologne, Berlin, or London: we regularly bring teams together to connect and grow stronger.
• Offsites with the whole team - Four days out of the daily grind with the entire team: trips, brainstorming, onsite collaboration, and real team spirit.

Still here? Sounds like a pretty good match.

If you've made it this far, we hope we've managed to show you one thing: how we work, what we believe in and why this role at PREMATCH is something special.
Maybe this is exactly the moment you've been waiting for: a team that thinks big, a vision that actually moves things and the chance to help reshape amateur football digitally – together with us.
