About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own features end-to-end — from ambiguous founder input to live production.
Translate documented user journeys into technical specifications, full-stack implementations, and automated end-to-end test coverage.
Set and maintain the team's engineering standards for working with coding agents (authoring CLAUDE, AGENTS, cursorrules) and configure MCP servers to maximize development leverage.
Build and maintain production-grade Playwright suites covering critical journeys (AI-generated and human-reviewed) to ensure a baseline of 100% journey coverage on revenue-critical flows.
Define SLOs, instrument observability (Sentry, OpenTelemetry), and lead incident response for the surfaces you own.
Design and maintain systems in compliance with data minimization, purpose limitation, and EU-only hosting infrastructures (Hetzner, Scaleway, AWS Frankfurt, Vercel EU).
Document architectural decisions clearly in writing (ADRs) and actively participate in high-bar technical debates.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven track record of shipping complex production systems end-to-end, ideally as an early engineer at a startup or within a high-bar product team.
Fluency in TypeScript across the entire stack, Next.js 15+ / React 19+ (App Router, Server Components, Server Actions), and PostgreSQL with an ORM (Drizzle or Prisma).
Daily, fluent use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) as your primary execution layer, with clear opinions on when agents accelerate or hinder development.
Production-grade experience with Playwright (or Cypress), on-call incident response, and structured logging.
Baseline literacy in GDPR/BDSG (§32 BDSG) is a strong plus.
Highly autonomous individual who thrives without a manager layer running sprints or setting tickets — you measure success by user outcomes, not lines of code.
Exceptional written English (C1+) for async documentation.
Professional proficiency in German is required to confidently run 30-minute calls with Jobcenter caseworkers without switching languages.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Premium tooling & hardware: State-of-the-art equipment (MacBook) and fully covered premium AI subscriptions (Claude Max, Cursor Pro), plus a dedicated L&D budget for conferences.
Work-life flexibility: Modern hybrid work model (2 days in our Berlin-Mitte office, 3 days remote) supported by an async-first company culture that prioritizes deep work over unnecessary meetings.
Impact & high ownership: Flat hierarchy reporting directly to the founder. No corporate bureaucracy, meaning zero friction between your architectural decisions and real production outcomes.
