AdminFrom warehouse packers and cleaners to agricultural assistants and construction laborers, there is a growing demand for hands-on workers who can fill crucial labor gaps across the country. These roles don’t just provide a stable income – they offer a gateway to permanent residence, family relocation and long-term career growth in one of Europe’s most robust economies.
Germany’s aging population and strong industrial backbone mean that many sectors are currently understaffed, particularly in roles that don’t require advanced qualifications. As a result, employers are actively recruiting foreign nationals who are willing to relocate and take on these jobs. And here’s the kicker: many of these positions come with visa sponsorship, meaning companies are willing to help you secure the necessary legal documentation to live and work in Germany. For many unskilled workers, this isn’t just a job opportunity – it’s a life-changing pathway to a better future.
Unlike traditional visa paths that often require language tests, university degrees or highly technical skills, these visa-sponsored jobs are much more accessible. Most employers only require a willingness to work hard, follow instructions and be dependable. Many even offer on-the-job training, housing assistance and sometimes language support once you arrive.
This opens the door to applicants from developing countries including many Africans and Asians, who are eager to explore overseas opportunities but lack the formal credentials often demanded by other immigration systems.

Imagine your engineering work contributing to the rapid sell-out of mega-events like Tomorrowland, Defqon.1 and Paradiso – that’s the scale and energy we operate on.
With our sophisticated ticketing platform, Paylogic, we’ve already processed over 100 million tickets globally and we’re only getting started. Our next target? Another 100 million tickets and beyond.
You’ll be part of a forward-thinking, international and largely self-managed team based in Groningen. This isn’t just another software gig; it’s a chance to make a profound difference in the ticketing experience for both organizers and attendees. The primary domain you’ll be working in is finance and payments – the crucial engine behind our operational success.
If you’re an experienced Python developer who’s ready to evolve your technical abilities while contributing to the creation of scalable, high-availability systems that handle massive financial flows across countries and currencies, we’d love to connect with you.
What You’ll Do
In this role, your primary responsibility will be to architect and develop robust backend services using Python – specifically leveraging Flask and FastAPI frameworks – that form the core infrastructure of our finance ecosystem. Your daily responsibilities include:
- Designing and implementing scalable backend services that ensure stability and performance, even during traffic surges during major ticket sales.
- Seamlessly integrating with global payment service providers like Stripe, Adyen, Klarna and PayPal, enabling secure and diverse payment options for customers.
- Developing customer-facing payment workflows that ensure smooth transactions and minimize drop-off rates.
- Automating payouts to event organizers by building reliable internal tools and processes.
- Collaborating closely with software engineers focused on ticketing systems, product managers shaping customer experience and finance professionals tracking reconciliation and revenue flow.
- Writing code that is not only clean and readable but also backed by comprehensive testing to ensure system integrity.
- Monitoring, troubleshooting and continuously optimizing existing systems for better throughput and responsiveness.
What You’ll Help Build
The finance engineering team at Paylogic is at the forefront of our innovation. We’re not just maintaining legacy systems – we’re actively shaping the next generation of payment infrastructure for events.
Here’s where your influence will be felt:
- Enhancing and expanding our payment platform to accommodate new international payment methods and country-specific regulations.
- Building systems that ensure instant, accurate and traceable payouts to event organizers – no matter where they are in the world or what currency they operate in.
- Designing financial reconciliation systems that process millions of transactions with utmost precision and clarity.
- Taking ownership of secure and compliant handling of all monetary movements, with a focus on fraud prevention and data protection.
- Maintaining close partnerships with other teams working on ticketing systems and platform infrastructure to ensure seamless cross-domain integration.
Our Stack
At See Tickets, we rely on a proven tech stack designed for reliability, flexibility and high performance. Here’s what you’ll work with:
- Backend: Python (primary language), Flask, FastAPI, Celery (for asynchronous tasks), Redis and Memcached (for caching), MySQL (database) and SQLAlchemy (ORM).
- Testing: We follow a rigorous testing methodology using Pytest for unit and integration testing and Selenium for end-to-end browser testing scenarios.
- Frontend: Angular and TypeScript – though frontend experience isn’t required for this role, exposure is a plus.
- Development Philosophy: We don’t cling to any specific agile dogma. Our process is pragmatic and adaptable – we run sprints, host daily standups and hold regular retrospectives. The goal is to deliver excellent software, not tick boxes.
