Backend Software Engineer – Viby J

Help build the pricing foundation behind STARK Group’s digital transformation 

Are you a backend engineer who enjoys turning business needs into robust, maintainable services? As our new Backend Software Engineer, you will help build and evolve the pricing capabilities that support STARK Group’s commercial performance across Northern Europe. You will join a team working with a modern engineering stack and contribute directly to the Athene programme – our major digital transformation initiative.

Your role and impact

You will join the Pricing Team within the Athene programme – STARK Group’s major digital transformation initiative – while being part of a strong community of software engineers working from our office in Viby J and other Group IT locations. Your focus will be on delivering reliable features and improvements while learning and applying best practices for scalable services and long‑term maintainability. You will collaborate closely with QA, UX, business analysts, architects and commercial stakeholders to ensure we build the right solutions in the right way. In this role, you will:

• Contribute to technical implementation decisions for your tasks, with guidance from senior developers, ensuring reliability and maintainability.
• Deliver high‑quality code by following established patterns, best practices and shared standards across the team.
• Help maintain the technical health of pricing services by writing tests, fixing bugs and supporting code reviews.
• Collaborate with QA, UX and business stakeholders to understand needs and translate them into clear technical tasks and deliverables.
• Identify and escalate technical risks early, and support consistent solutions by following architectural guidelines set by the Pricing Architect.
   

You will be successful in this role when you deliver functional, tested backend features with solid code quality, contribute actively to team discussions and transparency, and help ensure documentation and test coverage support long‑term maintainability.

What you bring

We are looking for someone who is curious, collaborative and motivated by building reliable services in a modern engineering environment. You enjoy learning, improving and taking ownership of delivering well‑structured solutions.

You bring:

• 2–5 years of professional software development experience, ideally with C# or Java, and experience working in agile teams (Scrum/Kanban).
• A solid understanding of testing practices (unit and integration) and a commitment to clean, maintainable code.
• Familiarity with core engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS), and an interest in learning architectural concepts under guidance.
• Strong communication skills, an analytical mindset and a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
   

You will work with a modern tech stack including C#, Azure, Azure DevOps, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Grafana, and Kubernetes/Argo, and you should be comfortable learning new tools as the platform evolves.

In return, we offer a collaborative product team environment where you can grow your backend skills, take on increasing responsibility, and contribute to a business‑critical domain in STARK Group - working with modern technologies in an enterprise setting.
