**A career driven by you. **At LeasingMarkt.de, we bring customers and dealers together to make car leasing more accessible, transparent, and efficient. With over 1,000 partner dealerships and nearly 2 million users across the DACH region and the Netherlands, we’ve become Germany’s #1 leasing platform. To keep growing and driving innovation in the mobility space, we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our high-performance team at our Düsseldorf office.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and developing robust, scalable applications that power one of the largest automotive leasing marketplaces in Europe. You’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team to build and evolve solutions that are architecturally sound, easy to maintain, and built for long-term impact. You’ll help shape technical direction while raising the bar for software quality and stability across the platform.
What you’ll do:
-
Join one of our builders’ teams to** build great products** loved by our customers.
-
Apply an AI-first mindset to every phase of you-build-it-you-run-it: from design and coding to testing, deployment and operations.
-
Work hands-on in real product codebases (for example TypeScript/Node/Next.js or Java/Spring), using GenAI tools to accelerate development, improve quality and simplify existing systems.
-
Build and evolve AI-powered internal tools and workflows (assistants for coding, reviews, documentation, testing) that engineers across AutoScout24 can rely on every day.
-
Act as a multiplier and culture driver: coach teams on effective GenAI usage, share patterns and anti-patterns, and help establish AI-first ways of working across our engineering organization.
-
Experiment, measure and improve: run small, data-informed experiments with teams, learn what works in our context, and turn successful approaches into repeatable standards and playbooks.
What you’ll bring:
-
Experience leveraging AI and Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance engineering productivity — including code generation, debugging, reviews, documentation, and decision support — with a proactive mindset toward adopting tools that streamline development and drive innovation.
-
Deep, hands-on experience building production systems (we expect you’ve spent at least 5 years doing this, possibly much more), ideally with PHP and Laravel as well as TypeScript/Node.js/Next.js on AWS, Azure or GCP.
-
Demonstrated personal excellence in using GenAI coding tools (for example GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex) to significantly improve your own development speed and quality: code generation, refactoring, debugging, tests and documentation.
-
Experience integrating LLM APIs (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI or similar) into applications or internal tools.
-
Strong communication and influencing skills: you can introduce new tools and practices, align stakeholders, handle skepticism and iterate based on feedback.
-
A curious, growth-oriented mindset: you actively seek out new practices and tools, you are comfortable learning in public, and you help others do the same.
-
A pragmatic view of GenAI: you understand its limitations and risks and know how to put guardrails in place (reviews, tests, policies) to keep usage safe, compliant and sustainable at scale.
-
Experience with performance optimization, caching strategies, and system observability is a plus.
