The Role

Job Title: (Junior) Software Engineer

Location: Munich, Germany

Why this role matters

We are expanding our core engineering team to accelerate the delivery of new product ideas and user stories directly into our production cloud application. In this role, you will bridge the gap between product vision and working functionality, working alongside senior engineers who will actively mentor you to level up your engineering instincts.

What you'll do

Full-stack delivery of user-facing features and robust backend services in our cloud platform.

Who this is a fit for

• Recent graduate in Computer Science or Software Engineering (or 1-2 years equivalent experience).
• Hands-on familiarity with an object-oriented language, ideally Java.
• Basic experience building user interfaces using React or Angular.
• Solid foundational knowledge of SQL and relational databases.
• Natural collaborator who thrives without structured corporate playbooks.

What it's like to work here

Fast-moving, ambitious, and kind culture that values autonomy, ownership, and celebrating wins together (with table tennis and good coffee). A highly hands-on environment where people thrive without corporate playbooks. It is an office-first culture based in Munich, with team flexibility when needed.

The offer

• High autonomy and direct ownership over features shipped to real users.
• Structured mentorship from senior engineers to rapidly accelerate your technical growth.
• A vibrant, collaborative office environment in Munich at Stiglmaierplatz.
• A kind, high-performing team that celebrates wins with table tennis and great coffee.

This probably isn't for you if

• You need highly structured corporate playbooks, rigid processes, or pre-defined step-by-step instructions.
• You want a fully remote role; we are an office-first culture based in Munich.
• You prefer specializing deeply in only frontend or only backend rather than working across the full stack.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
