About the role
Hello 👋
Hello Senior Full Stack Engineers! The ideal candidate is motivated by creating real impact — producing practical, usable outcomes rather than overengineered or purely experimental solutions. Operating in a small, autonomous team, this person will combine strong technical execution with product-oriented thinking to help shape the future of Matomo. Efficiency, creativity, and execution are paramount.

Why Matomo 💡
- Privacy-first: Ethical analytics built around GDPR and user trust. - Open Source: Shape a platform used in 190+ countries. - Global team: Work with colleagues across Europe, New Zealand, and Canada. - Established & Growing: Profitable and self-funded, with double-digit growth for 5+ years and a steadily expanding global team. - Fully Remote: 100% work-from-home within Germany, with flexible hours. - Career Growth: Clear Engineering Career Development Framework supporting skill progression and leadership growth. - High Calibre Team: Join a collaborative group of experienced engineers focused on innovation and impact. - AI-Empowered Development: Use AI tools and practices to accelerate experimentation, development, and quality.
What you will do 🚀
- Full-Stack Innovation Development: You will design, prototype, and deliver new features across backend (PHP) and frontend (JS) that extend Matomo’s capabilities. Python and node.js may be involved too. - Rapid Prototyping & Validation: Quickly test new product ideas — including but not limited to AI/insights — and validate them with real-world use cases. - End-to-End Ownership: Own ideas end-to-end, from concept through deployment. - Product-Centric Engineering: Think beyond code — consider usability, scalability, security, and long-term value when shaping new features. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate directly with Matomo’s co-founders and senior engineers using Slack, Jira and Confluence. - Autonomous Execution: Operate effectively in a small, lean team with minimal oversight, driving projects forward independently. - Impediment Management: Proactively identify and resolve blockers to progress; escalate appropriately when outside support is needed to keep innovation moving. - Exploration Beyond AI: Identify and develop innovation opportunities across analytics, visualization, integrations, and user experience — not just AI. - Knowledge Sharing: Document and communicate concepts, prototypes, and learnings to spread innovation practices across the company. - Continuous Learning: Stay current with emerging technologies, frameworks, and product trends to bring fresh perspectives into Matomo.
