At BetterDoc, you will work to deliver value, not to fulfil a spec. We value curiosity, the will to learn and the drive to deliver great software. We look for people that want to see their influence on what was created and who are proud of their craft.

We do not split work by technical layers -- this means that as a developer, you will see code for both the frontend and the backend, as well as the server runtime. Colleagues can set a focus on technical topics, but everybody is expected to cover a broad technical portfolio.

As a Developer at BetterDoc, you will be part of small project teams. These cross-functional teams delivering value in focused, self-managed projects.

In every project team we have people working remotely, making written communication very important. You should be able to express proposals and decisions, as well as task descriptions in written form. Team language is english, being able to communicate in german is a plus.

Remote work, your location!

We support fully remote work, in addition to our office in Cologne, Germany.

Although we support fully remote work, we cannot allow developers to work from non-EU countries, for legal reasons.

Please be aware that if you do not live in a country belonging to EU or are planning to move to the EU, we cannot follow up on your application.
