Lead Full Stack Developer (m/f/d) HeatOS

Your mission:
At Vamo, our mission is to bring the new era of heating into the home. To achieve this, we connect modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly heat pumps across Germany with our HeatFleet and the Vamo App for end customers. 

To make these processes efficient and scalable, our HeatOS team focuses on digitally mapping and automating all internal business processes – from lead management and sales to planning, operations, and installation.

As a Lead Full Stack Developer in the HeatOS team, you take full ownership of the system’s architecture and implementation. You work hands-on, make key technical decisions, and actively shape the foundation on which our growth and processes will remain efficient, robust, and future-proof.

Tasks:
• Development & Implementation: You lead the conception, development, and implementation of new, complex features for our website and other business processes. This ranges from architectural design in the backend (Node.js) to leading the implementation in the frontend (Vue.js), setting and executing technical guidelines.
• API Design: You are primarily responsible for the design, standardization, and implementation of robust, highly scalable, and future-proof APIs. These serve as the central communication interface for our website and CRM, as well as for connecting partner systems.
• Code Quality & Testing: You establish and monitor high standards for code quality, maintainability, and test coverage (unit & integration tests) within the team. This includes defining code conventions, conducting code reviews, and mentoring other developers for continuous improvement of development quality.
• Infrastructure & Deployment: You proactively help shape the architecture of our CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure. This involves optimizing and further developing our environments using technologies like Docker, Heroku, and MongoDB to ensure efficient, reliable, and automated deployment.
• Team Collaboration: You are part of the interdisciplinary development team and work closely with Product Managers, Developers, and other stakeholders. You are responsible for the technical analysis of requirements and translating them into outstanding, feasible technical solutions.
• Technological Vision & Innovation: You proactively identify new technologies, architectures, and best practices and drive their evaluation and introduction. Your goal is to continuously improve our platform, future-proof it, and achieve a strategic advantage through technological excellence.
