Software Engineer with Java for Communication Platform Team (hybrid)

Main responsibilities:

Our Communication Platform ensures that millions of customers receive the right information at the right time every single day—whether by e-mail, SMS, letter, or push notification. From invoices and system messages to newsletters: our platform is a core component of communication across the entire IONOS Group.

Together with your team, you will bring this platform to all our brands and actively help build our new Marketing Hub—making it international, scalable, and reliable.

• You will develop robust backend services using Java with Spring Boot and play a key role in evolving the platform and rolling it out for new brands.
• You will collaborate closely with other development teams and bring new ideas to life with a pragmatic mindset.
• You will contribute to technical design and review processes, helping us keep the platform stable and performant with your experience.
• You have knowledge of frontend technologies like React to further develop our Marketing Hub.
• Optional: Do you have experience with PHP? Our communication editor is currently PHP-based. In parallel, we are working on new modules for our Marketing Hub using React.
