Your Impact

As a Senior Backend Engineer (m/f/d) at 7Mind, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team building technology that supports mental wellbeing at scale. You work end-to-end on features, take ownership of backend services and help shape a system that is reliable, maintainable and a pleasure to work with.

In 2025, we fully rewrote and relaunched the 7Mind app and backend. Our new platform follows Domain-Driven Design principles and deliberately focuses on “delightfully boring” solutions: simple, robust and built to last.

7Mind is part of the 7NXT Health Group (BuddyFit, Gymondo), bringing together strong engineering culture and a clear purpose: empowering people to live healthier lives. 

Your Mission

• Write clean, testable and maintainable code with a strong focus on long-term quality
• Maintain and improve integrations with third-party services
• Ensure a stable, observable and scalable backend in a B2C environment
• Take and share ownership of your services and share responsibility for the overall system
• Discuss trade-offs openly with product, design and other stakeholders
• Contribute to a strong engineering culture through code reviews, documentation and knowledge sharing
