(Junior) Software Engineer (all genders)

Our mission

We're on a mission to create 10 million human firewalls! At revel8, we redefine cybersecurity training with hyper-realistic simulations that reflect today's evolving attack landscape. Our innovative platform combines AI-driven multi-channel attacks with gamified, real-time learning to build resilience where it matters most: the people.

Your mission

As a (Junior) Software Engineer , you'll take product ideas and ship them as real features on a platform that's growing fast and tackling a genuinely hard problem. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who care about doing things right and who'll actually invest time in helping you level up. From day one, your code goes to real customers.

• Feature Implementation: You turn user stories into working functionality in our cloud application, taking ownership of frontend and backend tasks across our Java and React stack.
• Problem Solving: You identify and debug issues across the codebase, supported by seniors who help you build strong engineering instincts along the way.
• Platform Contribution: You participate in architecture and design discussions, contributing your perspective as we shape a platform with a rapidly growing user base.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: You work closely with Product and Customer Success to understand requirements and make sure what you build actually solves the problem.
• Code Quality: You write clean, tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews, both receiving and giving feedback as you grow.
• Continuous Learning: You stay curious about our tech stack and the cybersecurity space, picking up new tools and patterns as we evolve the platform.

Is it you we are looking for?

You...

• Recently graduated in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or bring equivalent practical experience (1–2 years).
• Have hands-on experience with an object-oriented language, ideally Java, and are familiar with frontend development using React or Angular.
• Have basic knowledge of SQL and relational databases and aren't afraid to dig into data.
• Are excited about all aspects of building a modern cloud product and want to understand how the whole system fits together.
• Enjoy working closely with others to solve complex problems and learn from more experienced colleagues.
• Have some familiarity with Spring Boot (or are eager to pick it up quickly).

• Mission-Driven Impact: Contribute to a meaningful mission of building human resilience against cyber threats.
• Kickstart your career: Work side-by-side with experienced engineers in a fast-growing startup, gaining hands-on experience building and scaling a complex platform with a modern tech stack and low tech debt.
• New Munich Hub: Be part of our new chapter! We just moved our headquarters to Munich and prioritize the energy of in-person collaboration in our brand new office as we scale our team - unlimited coffee, table football and good vibes included.

About us

revel8 is building the next generation of cybersecurity awareness for the age of GenAI. We help organizations protect themselves against modern social engineering attacks by turning their employees into an active line of defense.

It's been a fast ride so far: Founded in August 2024 by Tom and Julius , we moved to the Merantix Campus in Berlin and welcomed Robert as our CTO and co-founder shortly after. We landed our first enterprise customer in March 2025, raised our €5.1M seed round in September 2025, and moved the whole team back to Munich in February 2026. Today, we are around 40 revels working side by side in our new office every day.
