Staff/Senior Full Stack Engineer in GERMANY

About Us

We’re on a mission to help industrial companies unlock the full potential of their data by enabling real-time, autonomous decision-making in planning and scheduling processes. While data availability in manufacturing continues to grow, much of it remains untapped. Our software changes that, transforming production scheduling across global factories through intelligent, data-driven automation.

We’re proud to work with some of the world’s leading companies in the process industries, including BASF, Sun Chemical, and many more. With a recently completed funding round, we’re scaling rapidly, expanding our team and platform to support the next wave of growth. Backed by a strong five-year pipeline, we’re well-positioned to deliver long-term impact and sustainable innovation.

If you’re excited by complex systems, real-world impact, and building technology that powers the future of process manufacturing, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

Unlike other companies, being a Senior Engineer isn’t just a paygrade or empty title for us here at Akeno. It’s a distinction! It means you have built successful products in the past, faced mysterious production errors and came out on top of them, know how to get stuff done right, not just fast. Being a Senior Full-Stack Engineer means you can see a feature through from start to end, from the frontend all the way down to the database, and sometimes even a bit of UX design if needed.

You’ll be working in our Applications Team with team mates that “know their stuff”. Colleagues who are there when you need them and not afraid to ask when you can help them. We don’t have dedicated architects or tech leads because frankly—if you’re a true senior—you should be capable of creating a great first draft yourself … and smart enough to involve others to make it even better.

Skills You Will Need

• Experience in long-term product development
• Strong coding skills in React, Typescript, and NodeJS (or similar techs)
• Intermediate-level skills in databases & GraphQL
• Experience with automated testing tools like Cypress & Jest
• Ability to lead projects or major feature increments
• Capable of constructive discussions with experienced colleagues to achieve elegant, simple solutions

What You Will Find Helpful

• Previous experience with Hasura (GraphQL middleware)
• Good understanding of CSS (the box model, flex box, styling, …)
• Strong background in event sourcing for complex workflows
• DevOps/Cloud expertise to boost internal productivity
• Experience integrating AI systems (e.g., chat, recommendations)

You Will Be Working On

• A state-of-the-art software that helps customers save millions
• Make our software truly enterprise- and self-service ready
• Deliver feature increments from top to bottom
• Resolve bugs in a way that they never happen again
• Create monitoring & testing so we detect issues before the customer ever does
• Continuously improve our DX for even faster development cycles
