Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Buena's Mission

Buena makes real estate as simple and transparent as buying an ETF. Whether it's finding, buying, or financing an apartment. We do this by acquiring property managers across Germany and turning them into technology companies. Throughout the past 2 years we have become Germany's third-largest property manager with less than 25 full-time team members at our HQ.

The Senior Software Engineering Role

We’re hiring a key addition to our core engineering team to help us rebuild an industry stuck in the early 2000s. Property managers across Germany still run on outdated desktop software with clunky workflows and zero automation. You’ll work closely with our founders and a handpicked team in Berlin to design and build the product this market has never had and always needed.
