What we do

As a Software Engineer II, you're going to be part of a Berlin-based international team focused on improving the performance, features and design of our core product for healthcare professionals, the BMS (Booking Management System).

Doctolib's unprecedented growth in the last 10 years was made possible thanks to pragmatism and avoiding premature optimisation at any cost. In order to keep scaling, performance has now become a first-class priority and we sometimes must rethink how key features are architectured. Our team has spent months instrumenting the code base and already improved some of our most important user flows. We've also been focusing on re-architecturing the core parts of our availability service. This not only gives us full liberty to choose the more appropriate architecture patterns, but also to chose the stack wisely.

What you’ll do 

As a Software Engineer II, you will be responsible for:

  • Improving the performance of key features implemented in React (TypeScript/Javascript) and Ruby on Rails, sometimes completely challenging the status quo;
  • Thinking user first and helping improve our user experience through new features and design updates, while maintaining high code quality standards;
  • Taking leadership on delivering roadmap items (together with the team);
  • Helping keep our bug backlog small;
  • Contributing to establishing a technical vision and co-drive the creation of the roadmap for the next quarters;
  • Bringing your expertise and past experiences to help us continuously improve the way we work.

Who you are

If you don’t meet all the requirements below but believe this opportunity matches your expectations and experience, we still encourage you to apply!

  • You have at a minimum of 5 years of software engineering experience;
  • You have experience working on complex systems at large scale;
  • You are eager to be hands on with our stack: we do use React, Ruby and Rust (and we are happy to help you ramp up);
  • You understand the value of testing your code;
  • You have proven experiences developing efficient, maintainable and secure products;
  • You are fluent in English.

What we offer

  • Employee share plan for every Doctoliber 
  • Additional health plan scheme with our partner Allianz

  • Minimum 28 days of paid leave
