We are looking for a highly reliable and hands-on accounting specialist / financial accountant / tax clerk with strong experience in German bookkeeping and accounting rules.

The person will support us as a freelance accounting specialist and will be responsible for the ongoing bookkeeping of two German businesses: one sole proprietorship and one limited liability company. The role includes financial accounting, payroll accounting, preparation of monthly accruals and provisions, asset accounting, VAT topics, pre-tax deduction, year-end closing preparation and coordination with the tax advisor.

A strong understanding of German accounting is required, especially HGB, SKR04, German invoices, incoming and outgoing invoices, payroll postings, company car benefits, non-cash benefits, occupational pension schemes, accruals, provisions, equity bookings and the differences between sole proprietorships and corporations.

The candidate must be able to read and understand German documents, invoices and accounting records. Spoken German is not mandatory, but the ability to read and interpret German invoices, contracts, payroll documents and tax-related communication is essential.

Strong IT skills are very important. The person must be comfortable working with browser-based cloud software, digital document processing, accounting systems and data exchange with tax advisors. Experience with DATEV is a plus, but the role is not limited to DATEV. The candidate should understand how accounting data can be imported from previous systems, how prior-year values can be transferred, and how accounting data can be exported or provided to a tax advisor through interfaces or structured data formats.

We are looking for someone very careful, structured and accurate, but also proactive and solution-oriented. This is not a role for someone who stops working whenever something is unclear. We need someone who investigates, organizes missing invoices, requests documents independently, documents processes internally and actively helps keep the business administration running.

Main responsibilities:

• Ongoing bookkeeping for two German entities
• Processing incoming and outgoing invoices
• Reading and interpreting German invoices and accounting documents
• Payroll accounting and payroll-related postings
• Posting salaries, freelancer invoices and recurring monthly transactions

• Asset accounting
• VAT, input VAT and tax-related bookkeeping topics
• Preparation of year-end closing documentation
• Communication with the tax advisor and, where needed, the tax office
• Import and transfer of accounting data from previous systems
• Export and handover of accounting data to the tax advisor
• Internal documentation of accounting processes
• Proactively requesting missing documents and solving operational accounting issues

Required skills:

• Experience with German bookkeeping and accounting
• Strong understanding of HGB and SKR04
• Experience with financial accounting and payroll accounting
• Experience with year-end closing preparation
• Ability to read and understand German invoices and accounting documents
• Good IT skills and experience with digital accounting workflows
• High attention to detail
• Strong ownership, initiative and hands-on mentality
• Ability to work independently as a freelancer

Nice to have:

• Experience with DATEV or similar German accounting systems
• Experience with cloud-based accounting tools
• Experience working remotely for German companies
• Experience with both sole proprietorships and German limited liability companies

We are looking for a strong AI Prototyping Specialist / Claude Code Product Engineer to permanently support our product and concept team.

Your main responsibility will be to turn product ideas, meeting notes, feature concepts, and UX requirements into clickable prototypes and structured software mockups. These prototypes will later be used by our development team as the basis for implementation.

This is not a classical backend or frontend developer role. We are looking for someone who can work very fast with Claude Code and modern AI development tools, but who also understands product logic, user flows, UI/UX structure, and software concepts.

You will work closely with the product owner, management, and the development team.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain clickable prototypes and software mockups
• Translate meeting summaries, product ideas, and rough concepts into structured prototype screens
• Suggest practical implementation ideas and product improvements
• Create clear user flows, UI structures, and interaction logic
• Work with Claude Code on a very high level
• Manage branches, deployments, and prototype versions
• Prepare prototypes so developers can understand and implement them efficiently
• Improve existing prototype screens based on feedback
• Think critically and challenge unclear requirements

Requirements:

• Very strong experience with Claude Code or similar AI coding tools
• Good understanding of frontend prototypes, UI structure, and user flows
• Experience with Git, branches, pull requests, and deployments
• Very good English skills, especially for reading and interpreting meeting summaries
• Ability to work independently from rough input
• Strong product thinking and attention to detail
• Ability to quickly understand complex business processes
• Reliable communication and structured working style

Nice to have:

• Product Owner, Business Analyst, or UI/UX background
• Experience with HR tech, recruiting software, ERP, CRM, or SaaS products
• Experience with React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Lovable, Cursor, Manus, v0, or similar tools
• Experience creating prototypes for development teams
• Ukrainian language skills are a plus, but English is required

What we offer:

• Long-term cooperation
• Direct involvement in product conception
• Work on real SaaS products, not just simple landing pages
• Modern AI-first workflow
• Remote work
• Clear communication and fast decision-making

Important:
We are not looking for a traditional developer who only waits for detailed tickets. We need someone who can understand business requirements, think like a product person, and use Claude Code to create high-quality prototypes quickly.

Backend Developer (Laravel / PHP)

Long-term engagement

Project Overview

We are building a greenfield platform with real business context. An existing and successful system is currently in production — we use it as a reference for business processes and domain knowledge while designing a new system with modern architecture and clear technical direction.

This is not a legacy rewrite or maintenance project. We are building a new system from the ground up, focused on architecture, scalability, and long-term evolution.

We follow a pragmatic engineering approach: we avoid unnecessary abstraction and focus on solutions that deliver real business value.

We optimize for long-term maintainability rather than unnecessary complexity.

What You'll Do

- Design and implement self-contained backend modules within a modular monolith

- Work with clearly defined domain boundaries using DDD principles

- Implement REST APIs and service interactions

- Translate business processes into scalable system design

- Apply Hexagonal Architecture patterns in practice

- Structure domain logic, workflows, and database schemas

- Contribute to architectural decisions and improvements

- Write multi-layer tests (unit, feature, integration)

- Ensure clean, maintainable, and scalable code

- Deliver production-ready systems

You will work closely with the Tech Lead and collaborate with a cross-functional team including Product Owner, UX, and Architects. This is not a task-based coding role — we expect engineering thinking, ownership, and collaboration.

Requirements

- 5+ years of professional PHP and Laravel experience

- Experience with or strong interest in Domain-Driven Design

- Experience with or strong interest in Hexagonal or similar clean architecture patterns

- Solid knowledge of OOP, SOLID principles, and design patterns

- Experience designing and building REST APIs

- Solid SQL knowledge and database optimization (MySQL)

- Experience with Docker or similar containerized environments

- Experience writing tests across multiple layers (unit, feature, integration)

- Ability to work independently and deliver results with ownership

AI-Assisted Development (Required)

AI is a standard part of our engineering workflow. We expect every developer to be comfortable using modern AI coding assistants (such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of their daily development workflow.

AI is not a replacement for engineering judgment. Developers remain fully responsible for the architecture, correctness, security, maintainability, and testing of the code they deliver.

Candidates who are unwilling to embrace AI-assisted development or do not see it as an essential part of their daily workflow are unlikely to be a good fit for this role.

Nice to Have

- Experience with system decomposition and migration strategies

- Experience with CRM / ERP systems or complex business domains

- Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms

- Familiarity with event-driven architecture

What We Expect

- Strong focus on code quality and maintainability

- Ability to understand and model real business processes

- Structured and pragmatic approach to system design

- Ability to work within a defined architecture while improving it

- Balance between speed and quality — we ship but we ship well

- Reliable execution in a team environment

- Clear communication and ownership

What We Offer

- Work on a greenfield platform with real business context and clear purpose

- Well-architected codebase built on clean code principles (SOLID, meaningful naming, testability) — static analysis, automated style checks, comprehensive tests are non-negotiable

- Collaboration with a Tech Lead and cross-functional team

- Remote work

- Pragmatic culture focused on delivery and outcomes

Tech Stack

The platform is built with:

- PHP 8.4, Laravel 13

- Modular Monolith architecture with Hexagonal Architecture principles

- Domain-Driven Design (DDD) — Aggregate Roots, Value Objects, Repository interfaces

- CQRS pattern for separating read and write operations

- MySQL 8 as primary data store

- PHPUnit — unit, feature, and integration tests

- Spatie Laravel Data for typed DTOs

- PHPStan / Larastan for static analysis

- OpenAPI / Swagger documentation

- Docker

- Redis

- AWS infrastructure

- CI/CD pipeline for automated checks and deployments

Languages
 

- English: Required (B2 - Upper Intermediate minimum)

- Ukrainian: Strongly preferred — the development team is being built primarily with Ukrainian speakers, so it's the main language for daily team communication. However, strong candidates without Ukrainian will still be considered.
