Team

IMAGO's Engineering team consists of around 20 engineers, led by our CTO and organized into three focused sub-teams: Client (customer-facing platform), Partner (content ingestion & supplier systems), and DBI (data, business intelligence & internal tooling). The Client team — where this role sits — currently has 7 developers with diverse skill sets, working hands-on with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. We're an international, Berlin-based team that values real ownership, direct impact, and a culture of craftsmanship over bureaucracy. Engineers here don't just execute tickets — they shape technical direction, mentor peers, and build things that matter at scale.

Application Process

We keep things fast, transparent, and respectful of your time. Here's what to expect:

1. Culture Fit Interview

A first conversation with HR — we want to get to know you, your motivations, and what you're looking for in your next role.

2. Coding Challenge

An open-ended take-home task. No trick questions — we're interested in how you think, make decisions, and document your assumptions.

3. ️ Technical Interview

A deep-dive with engineers from the team to discuss your solution and technical experience.

4. Leadership Interview (on-site)

A final conversation with our CTO at our Berlin office.

Throughout the process, you can expect timely feedback and a clear, communicative experience from our side.
