About The Role

Funk is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer with a focus on Python and React. In this role, you will play a key part in building and improving digital solutions for clients. You will work across the application stack, contributing to backend services and frontend experiences while helping turn business needs into reliable, maintainable software.

You will collaborate with colleagues from technology, product, and business teams to understand requirements, evaluate technical options, and deliver practical solutions. The role is suited to an experienced developer who enjoys taking ownership, working through complex challenges, and contributing to thoughtful engineering decisions. You will help ensure that solutions are designed with usability, quality, security, and future development in mind.

Qualifications

You bring substantial professional experience in full-stack software development and strong practical knowledge of Python and React.

You have experience working with APIs, databases, software architecture, and modern development practices.

Familiarity with automated testing, version control, deployment processes, and cloud-based or containerized environments will be valuable.

You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues and can explain trade-offs in an approachable way. You are self-directed, collaborative, and attentive to detail, with the judgment to balance delivery needs against long-term quality. Professional proficiency in English is important; German language skills are an advantage for working with local stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain digital products and services using Python and React.
