Sweeper

Other • Junior • Remote • Full-time • Germany Germany

Part of velpTEC's new AI-native product team with five defined roles (Prototyper, Builder, Sweeper, Grower, Maintainer) — the Sweeper keeps systems lean: merging duplicates, retiring unused features in an orderly way, and making technical debt visible before it slows the team down.

Responsibilities

  • ▹Identify and cleanly retire unused features, feature flags, scripts and automations
  • ▹Merge duplicate logic in code, data models and processes, reducing dependencies
  • ▹Create transparency: build metrics on code health, test coverage, build times and error rates, and report regularly
  • ▹Refactor with a safety net: secure migrations with tests, feature flags and clear rollback paths
  • ▹Use AI tools to analyze large codebases and system landscapes and speed up cleanup work
  • ▹Data hygiene: consolidate fields, integrations and interfaces between the Campus, Shop, website and CRM
  • ▹Document what was removed, why, and what replaces it
  • ▹Coordinate retirements early with the Builder, Grower and Maintainer roles and the business units so no one is surprised

Requirements

  • ▹Completed degree in a technical field (e.g. computer science, engineering)
  • ▹Experience with refactoring, migrations or replacing legacy systems
  • ▹Confidence reading unfamiliar code and assessing its impact on the overall system
  • ▹Routine use of automated tests as a safety net for larger changes
  • ▹Ability to evaluate feature usage based on data, e.g. via SQL, logs and product analytics
  • ▹Knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript, and Python

Nice to have

  • ▹Experience with PHP environments (an advantage for the Campus product)
