ABOUT THE ROLE
We're a product-focused AI platform and product studio based in Munich, helping hundreds of SMEs integrate AI into their core workflows. Our platform already serves a large and fast-growing user base, and we're scaling toward the next order of magnitude. We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our engineering team and own some of the hardest architectural challenges we face — from multi-terabyte data synchronisation to secure, high-throughput sandbox infrastructure.
This is a hybrid role based in Munich, Germany. No visa sponsorship is available — candidates must be authorised to work in Germany without employer sponsorship.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the most complex architectural problems across the platform, including multi-terabyte data synchronisation and secure sandbox infrastructure.
- Architect, build, and ship high-quality full-stack features using React and TypeScript, with a strong focus on long-term scalability and UX.
- Design and implement systems to synchronise and index terabytes of client data while enforcing fine-grained permissions.
- Build infrastructure to process millions of LLM calls per month with high reliability and security.
- Implement scalable, secure code sandbox solutions capable of spawning thousands of sandboxes per day.
- Create base infrastructure and tooling for fast custom integrations, enabling new systems to be connected in hours.
- Collaborate on technical roadmaps and align on architectural decisions with the broader engineering team.
- Debug production incidents, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes to keep the platform stable.
- Mentor junior engineers and raise the bar across the codebase through constructive, thorough code reviews.
- Continuously improve development processes, code quality standards, and overall team performance.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required
- 5+ years of professional experience with React and TypeScript (dealbreaker).
- 7+ years of overall professional software engineering experience.
- 2+ years of backend development experience with Node.js/Express or equivalent.
- Proficiency with containerisation and orchestration using Kubernetes and Docker.
- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, tRPC, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Proven track record designing, scaling, and maintaining complex software architectures for high-growth products.
- Experience operating at scale: large dataset synchronisation, high-volume API/LLM calls, secure multi-tenant systems.
- Experience mentoring junior developers or leading a small development team.
- Ability to own a product roadmap, drive technical decisions aligned with product goals, and collaborate effectively with product managers and designers.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in a cross-functional environment.
- Authorised to work in Germany without employer visa sponsorship.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with AI platforms or AI workflow tooling.
- Experience in the B2B SaaS or AI/ML industry.
TECH STACK
- Frontend: React, TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js, tRPC, PostgreSQL
- Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary range: $70,000 – $90,000 per year
- Join a close-knit, high-ownership engineering team where your architectural decisions have real impact
- Work on an AI platform at meaningful scale with a growing SME customer base
- Hybrid work arrangement in Munich
