Job Description

The role at a glance

We’re looking for two Junior Software Engineers to join our Apply & Connect Domain—the team that makes the job application process smoother for millions of people.

👉 This is a 12-month position, with the option to extend afterwards.

As a Junior Engineer, you’ll help develop both the client side (React) and microservices (Java/.NET). You don’t need to be an expert—we’ll provide mentorship, training, and plenty of support so you can grow your skills at your own pace.

💡 Even if you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you. Confidence gaps should never stop you from applying.

Your responsibilities

• Work with your team to create user-friendly features and product flows

• Build and improve applications used across many markets

• Contribute to our shared library of front-end components

• Share ideas and collaborate on defining product functionality

Qualifications

We’d love to meet you if you’re curious, open to learning, and have some experience with (or interest in):

• Java or .NET basics, with eagerness to grow your understanding

• JavaScript and React

• Git, CSS, and testing tools (Jest, testing-library/react)

• Relational databases such as Postgres or MySQL

It’s a bonus if you’ve also tried out TypeScript, Redux, Node.js, CI/CD tools, or AWS services—but don’t worry if not. We’ll help you learn.

Most importantly:

• You enjoy working in a supportive team

• You’re open to learning both front-end and back-end skills

• You value inclusivity and collaboration

Ways of working

• Agile/SCRUM in 2-week cycles

• Regular feedback and project reviews

• A DevOps culture with influence on architecture and infrastructure

• Respect for work-life balance and sustainable practices

Your benefits

We want your job to enrich your life—not take it over. That’s why we offer benefits that support your well-being, growth, and balance:

• Premium medical and dental care

• Life insurance

• Flexible benefits (Multisport, vouchers, tickets)

• Mentoring, hackathons, and knowledge-sharing sessions

• Supportive tech and sports communities

• Integration events, charity initiatives, and 2 volunteer days

• Language classes (English/German)

• Relaxation spaces (game room, chill zone)

Our commitment

At The Stepstone Group, everyone belongs. We welcome applications from underrepresented groups in tech and encourage all genders, backgrounds, and experiences to apply.
