Senior Software Engineer

About us:

Since 2010, MotorK has been building the software that powers how cars are sold and marketed across Europe - long before “SaaS” and “digital transformation” became buzzwords. Our products help dealer groups and car manufacturers run smarter campaigns, manage their customer networks, and close more deals through our Spark platforms and a suite of data-rich, digital solutions.

If you care about shipping real systems that real businesses rely on every day - and you’re excited about what AI-native engineering can do to 10x that impact - this is the kind of environment where your work genuinely matters.

Why This Role Is Interesting:

- You’re building revenue-critical systems. What you design and ship directly affects the customers, not just internal dashboards nobody opens.
- You touch the full stack and lifecycle. From architecture to CI/CD to observability, you’re not boxed into “just backend” or “just frontend”; you get to shape how the whole thing hangs together.
- You don’t fight AI - you wield it. Instead of quietly using AI tools on the side, this role expects and rewards an AI-native workflow with tools like Cursor, Claude, Copilot, or similar baked into how you work every day.

What You’ll Actually Do:

- Architect and evolve real systems. Design and refine services that handle multi-tenant, high-traffic workloads for thousands of dealerships and manufacturers.
- Push the stack forward without chasing hype. Help move our systems toward more event-driven, distributed architectures where it makes sense.
- Use AI like an extra team member.
- Mentor and raise the bar. Give thoughtful code reviews, pair on gnarly problems, and help teammates level up-especially around AI-native workflows and good engineering discipline.

What You Bring:

- You’ve spent years shipping and operating production systems at scale—ideally SaaS, B2B, or multi-tenant products—and you can speak to the trade-offs you’ve made under pressure.
- Strong backend instincts. You’re fluent in at least one major backend ecosystem (PHP, Java, Python, etc.) and comfortable with relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL; you know where and when NoSQL or streaming/messaging systems fit.
- System design mindset. You think in terms of boundaries, contracts, failure modes, and evolvability.
- DevOps-aware, not DevOps-dependent. CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and incident response are part of your mental model of “done,” not someone else’s problem.
- AI-native workflow. You already use AI tools regularly, or you’re genuinely eager to lean into them: to move faster, explore more options, and focus your energy where human judgment matters most.

Benefits:

- Meal Vouchers (€7 per working day)
- 26 days holidays + national bank holidays
- Individual training paths
- Opportunity to develop and move within the company
- National and international mobility options
- Yearly team activities
