About this role
NICE TO MEET YOU!
IN SHORT
Are you a versatile problem-solver who wants to write software that impacts the physical world? As a Software Engineer, Full-Stack (starting immediately, 100%) in Zurich, you will be at the core of our operations, building systems that touch everything from warehouse automation to customer-facing smart fridges.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Take vague problems from non-technical colleagues and turn them into shipped solutions across our backend, web apps, Android app, or physical devices. Maintain the warehouse and supplier web apps used daily for inbound processing, picking, labels, and inventory. Develop our back-office internal tools, managing the backend and GraphQL API that run menus, deliveries, and customer sites. Manage the critical service connecting our automated picking lanes to the broader system to ensure seamless warehouse operations. Oversee the Android Point of Sale application running on hundreds of fridge devices and streamline the release process for the fleet. Integrate card payments, TWINT, our ERP, and other external partner systems securely. Drive production health by managing logs, alerts, careful feature rollouts, rollback plans, upgrades, tests, and code cleanup. Split complex features into manageable pieces and thoroughly review pull requests from other engineers. Participate in the on-call rotation, debug live issues alongside the operations team, and occasionally visit the warehouse to test changes on-site with end-users.
WHAT TO EXPECT
YOUR PROFILE
Proven production experience in at least one typed backend language (such as C#, Java, Kotlin, Go, or TypeScript) and one modern frontend framework. Track record of successfully owning software in production, including on-call duties, debugging from logs, and resolving live issues while users wait. Familiarity with or willingness to dive into C#, TypeScript, Android, and Kotlin. Prior exposure to hardware, IoT, edge devices, payments, logistics, retail operations, or Odoo environments is highly advantageous. Demonstrated ability to ship features in an unfamiliar tech stack and learn new systems at a rapid pace. Strong passion for collaborating directly with end-users, including warehouse and operations staff, rather than exclusively with other engineers. High degree of curiosity and a proactive mindset to take full ownership of problems from end to end. Fluent English communication skills (written and spoken); knowledge of German or French is a plus. Non-smoker - we don't want you to smell like cigarettes, neither at work nor at customer meetings. After all, FELFEL is about good food. Valid work permit or Swiss passport.
