Senior Backend TypeScript Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Berlin

Your tasks
Finding the best car lease rate available on the market is almost impossible. The traditional route to leasing a vehicle is therefore not only complex, time-consuming, and ineffective – it usually does not lead to the best possible leasing contract. With VEHICULUM we make leasing easy and transparent. By digitizing the entire process up to the leasing contract, potential customers can access attractive offers in a few seconds and their leasing requests in a few minutes.

Our platform makes all rates transparent and easy to compare. The leasing offers on our platform come from various large and small dealer groups from all over Germany and are updated daily.


With VEHICULUM we strive to become the first fully digital one-stop platform for car leasing and are working on being able to offer other types of financing in the future. Want to participate?


Then become part of our talented, experienced, and creative tech team!
