Senior Product Engineer, Event-Driven Systems

Help build the operating system for construction

Construction is one of the world's largest industries, yet much of it still runs on spreadsheets, PDFs and endless email chains.

At Capmo, we're building the operating system for construction, helping thousands of professionals manage projects, collaborate and deliver work more efficiently.

And we're entering an exciting new chapter: bringing AI, intelligent automation and connected financial workflows into construction software.

We're looking for experienced full-stack engineers who love building great products, solving challenging engineering problems and owning features from idea to production.

Here's the thing: you don't need to be equally strong in frontend and backend.

Maybe you're an exceptional backend engineer who enjoys working with React. Or perhaps your strength is frontend engineering, but you're comfortable diving into APIs, databases and backend services.

What matters is that you bring real depth in at least one area, aren't afraid of the other, and enjoy understanding how the whole system works.

We're looking for strong engineers who can think beyond their primary expertise.

What you'll work on

You'll join one of our small, autonomous product teams where engineers own features end-to-end, from understanding customer problems to designing solutions and shipping them to production.

We're expanding Capmo beyond traditional project management into areas such as:

• Project Financials: Bringing budgeting, cost management, payments and complex integrations into the platform.
• AI-powered documentation: Making it easier to capture, organize, understand and act on information from construction sites.
• Intelligent project workflows: Using AI to support project reporting, summarize information and help teams find answers within their project data.
• AI agents and automation: Exploring ways for software to go beyond recording information and increasingly help execute administrative workflows.
• Documents and plans: Building smarter workflows around document classification, approvals and constantly changing project information.

Through initiatives such as Capmo Next, we're moving toward software that doesn't just record what happened on a construction project, but understands its context and helps teams figure out what needs to happen next.

Depending on your strengths and team, you'll:

• Design and build features across our Node.js, TypeScript and React stack.
• Work on scalable backend services, APIs, distributed systems and integrations.
• Build intuitive frontend experiences that simplify complex customer workflows.
• Contribute to new product capabilities, including AI-powered features and intelligent automation.
• Own features end-to-end, from technical design to production.
• Solve architecture, scalability, performance, security and reliability challenges.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers and designers.
• Help shape engineering standards and improve developer productivity.

Our Engineering Culture

We believe great engineers own outcomes, not just code.

Our teams are intentionally small, giving every engineer meaningful ownership and the freedom to make technical decisions that directly impact the product.

AI is changing how we build software, too.

We actively embrace AI-assisted development and encourage engineers to use modern tools like Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot to move faster, explore solutions and reduce repetitive work.

But we're not interested in blindly shipping AI-generated code.

We want engineers who use AI as a force multiplier, not a substitute for engineering judgment.

You should be curious about new tools, comfortable experimenting and capable of evaluating the quality, architecture and reliability of what you build.

We value:

• Strong engineering fundamentals over framework hype.
• Product thinking over ticket execution.
• Ownership over hand-offs.
• Pragmatism over unnecessary complexity.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong expertise in either backend or frontend engineering, with the confidence and willingness to contribute across the stack.
• Experience building production applications with JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Familiarity with technologies such as Node.js, React, AWS and PostgreSQL. You don't need to be an expert in all of them.
• Strong software architecture and system design skills.
• The ability to break down complex business problems into pragmatic technical solutions.
• A product mindset. You care about why something is built, not just how.
• High ownership and the ability to drive work independently from concept to production.
• Curiosity about AI-assisted software development and how AI can improve both engineering workflows and products.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation: €90,000 – €115,000 annually.
• Become a shareholder: Share in Capmo's long-term success through our employee stock option program (VSOP).
• Invest in your growth: Receive an annual €1,000 development budget plus two dedicated Development Days each year to support your personal and professional learning.
• Choose the benefits that fit you: With EGYM Wellpass, enjoy unlimited access to 90+ gyms and swimming pools across Germany, or choose a lunch subsidy or mobility budget instead.
• Plan for the future: We contribute an additional 20% toward your company pension plan (Germany only).
• Hybrid by design: We believe great collaboration happens in person, while focused work can happen anywhere. We work together in the office three days per week and remotely for two.
• Join an exceptional team: Work alongside talented, ambitious people in a collaborative environment where you'll have real ownership and plenty of opportunities to grow.
• Culture Day Off: Take an additional day off each year to celebrate the moments and occasions that matter most to you.

If you're looking for a place where your decisions directly shape the product and where engineering excellence is genuinely valued, we'd love to meet you.
