Senior Software Engineer

About the job

• A friendly cross-functional product team with a hands-on team lead, product manager, and several T-shaped full-stack engineers who share responsibility together.

• You work in variations of Scrum or Kanban. Engineers also roll up their sleeves during refinement and actively contribute to architecture and product matters.

• Lots of creative freedom and the chance to actively shape high code quality within the team and across team boundaries.

• Enough legacy, complexity, and established structures to really make a difference with a good dose of resilience and improve systems step by step.

• Have many years of solid experience in modern, product-oriented software engineering (preferably with Java) and have already worked on complex, distributed systems - ideally in e-commerce or comparable domains.

• Know modern engineering practices not only theoretically but have lived them daily, for example in CI/CD, automated testing, decoupling, code reviews, and observability.

• Do not see concepts like DDD, Clean Architecture, Event-Driven Architecture, SOLID, Feature Flags, or Dependency Injection as buzzwords but as tools you use sensibly and pragmatically.

• Are a strong advocate of "You build it, you own it" and have experience in environments where releases happen multiple times daily.

• Enjoy sharing your knowledge, take pleasure in pair programming, whiteboard sessions, and code reviews, and help to further develop the engineering level within the team.

• Bring depth in your field and at the same time move confidently across adjacent areas.

• Enjoy working closely with product managers and want to understand the problem we are actually solving. You help formulate requirements and think from user and business perspectives.

• Value true agility and like working in short iterations, learning quickly, gathering feedback, and making data-informed decisions.

• Use AI tools in your workflow and pursue further education out of intrinsic motivation simply because you enjoy growing professionally and personally.

• Persevere through complex problems and have the resilience to see topics through to success.

• Are a warm-hearted communicator who values an open learning culture, enjoys building personal connections within the team, and can laugh at good jokes.

• Prefer frameworks like SAFe or projects that start with a requirements specification.

• Have mainly worked in highly regulated areas without experience in a fast-paced, product-oriented environment.

• Feel more comfortable in role models where infrastructure, backend, frontend, testing, and product thinking are clearly separated.

• Take over requirements that are fixed and fully formulated instead of sharpening them together with product management and truly understanding customers.

• See further education primarily as the employer's responsibility and do not learn further out of your own interest, whether "on the job", at an evening event outside work, or simply by reading a book.

• Are more frustrated than motivated by imperfect systems - spoiler: we are not there yet.

• Strictly separate work and good humour.

• Discounts: Attractive discounts in the Brack online shop as well as lunch discounts and staff restaurants in Mägenwil and Willisau.
• Rest: At least 5 weeks of holiday, with the possibility to buy additional holiday and take unpaid leave.
• Development: Internal training in our own academy as well as financial support for external further education.
• Family: 18 weeks of paid maternity leave with the possibility of extension and 4 weeks of paid paternity leave.
• Insurance: Above statutory requirements – 100% continued salary payment and full financing of daily sickness allowance insurance by the employer.
• Mobility: Free parking spaces, financial support for public transport, and pool vehicles for business appointments.

• You create your profile in our career portal and apply directly online for the advertised position.
• You will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt and within a maximum of 10 working days you will get feedback on the next steps.
• While you show us your patience, we take personal time to review your application and define the next steps.
• If your documents convince us, we get to know each other via live video call or in a personal interview.
• The "match" is mutually confirmed. Then we proceed to the second interview round where you get to know your future workplace and the team.
• YES – we have chosen each other! The employment contract will be sent to you digitally and after signing, you will receive access to our internal communication channels and at the same time we prepare your onboarding process.
