WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON

At Userlike, we’re continuously improving one of Europe’s leading customer messaging platforms — and we’re looking for a Python developer (intermediate to senior) to help us take it to the next level. From intelligent automation to mobile experiences, you’ll play a key role in expanding a mature, stable product with new features, improved performance, and smarter tools.

• Contribute to the further development of our Django-based backend, with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Design and implement new features across our unified messaging platform and customer dashboard.
• Improve and expand AI-driven tools and automation features, some already in use, others built from scratch.
• Extend and refine the backend for our mobile app, making sure it integrates smoothly with the rest of the platform.
• Handle transaction management and the deployment of complex APIs that power real-time communication.
• Work closely with frontend, QA, DevOps, Design, and Product to bring features to life — collaboration is core to how we build.
• Take part in improving our development processes, suggesting better patterns, tools, or architectural decisions.

Our Setup

• Tech Stack: Python, Django, Rust, PostgreSQL, CI/CD
• Team: 16 people in development
• Hybrid Work: 3 days/week in our Cologne office, 2 remote — we like working together, but value flexibility too
