Backend jobs at Berlin startups

99 active roles

Backend roles are the steadiest part of the Berlin startup market. Every product needs someone to design the data model, keep the API honest, and make sure the thing stays up when traffic arrives. I pull these openings from each company's applicant tracking system and refresh them daily, so what you read here is the live set rather than a board that quietly went stale.

The languages vary more than people expect. Go and Python are common, Node and TypeScript are everywhere, and Java, Kotlin, or Rust turn up at companies with specific performance needs. What unites the good listings is a clear sense of ownership: services you run, data you are responsible for, and decisions you get to make. I keep every job description verbatim so the team's own framing is what you read.

For anyone relocating, two things shape the search. The first is German, which I classify per role so you can filter out the ones that expect fluency. The second is visa sponsorship, which I flag at the company level wherever the signal is clear.

Free to read, with no account and no paywall. Pegel never charges employers either. If today's list is short, subscribe below and I will email you the next time a backend role lands.

Questions

What languages do these backend roles use?
It varies by company. Go and Python are common, Node and TypeScript are widespread, and some teams run Java, Kotlin, or Rust. The job description names the stack, so read the listing before you assume.
How fresh are these roles?
They refresh daily. I poll each company's public careers feed, so a backend role appears the morning after it is posted and leaves the list when the company removes it.
Can I avoid roles that need German?
Yes. Each role is labelled for its German requirement. Use the no-German view, or subscribe with that filter saved, and you will only see backend roles where German is not required.
