Your responsibilities
- Lead a small, highly experienced engineering team (5 people): set clear priorities, delegate real ownership, and keep people growing through 1:1s, code-review guidance, and technical sparring.
- Own engineering quality: reliable standards, architectural reviews, production readiness, and the final gate before release.
- Act as technical sparring partner for founders, product, and design, and drive delivery end-to-end: from solution design to production, in short cycles, including advancing our SaaS onboarding.
- Oversee the architecture across distributed systems, APIs, desktop applications, our AWS infrastructure and internal DevOps platform, and a multi-repository codebase with solid infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability behind it.
- Own security and compliance in practice: ISO continuity, least-privilege access, secrets management, PKI, and supply-chain security, including recurring audits and technical due diligence.
- Push our production AI support agent further: more automated ticket resolution, production-grade RAG, tool calling, evaluations, guardrails, and monitoring.
- 10+ years in software engineering, with proven experienceleading and developing a small, senior team.
- You’ve grown up inearly-stage startups (seed to Series B) and know that stage, a purely corporate or enterprise background wouldn’t be the right fit here.
- Deep expertise inTypeScript, Node.js, and React, solid withPython and PostgreSQL, and confident acrossAPIs, distributed systems, production debugging, and multi-repo setups.
- AdvancedAWS knowledge and real ownership of cloud-native production: infrastructure as code,GitOps,CI/CD, observability, plus a practical security mindset and calm judgement during incidents.
- Production experience withAI agents:Â RAG, tool calling, workflow automation, evaluations, guardrails, monitoring, approached assoftware engineering, not model training or ML research.
- Product-minded and pragmatic: business-focused judgement, no overengineering, and a high shipping cadence. Fluent in English (C1); German is a plus.
Nice to have:
- Desktop applications: Electron, native macOS and Windows apps, gRPC, mTLS, secure storage, code signing, automated updates, and staged rollouts.
- Direct involvement inISO certification, recurringaudits, andtechnical due diligence.
- High impact and real ownership from day one: no bureaucracy, no endless approval loops.
- A small, ambitious team in Berlin and Munich, backed by top European VCs including Atomico and Cherry Ventures.
- Competitive salary + virtual share package (VSOP).
- Benefits: public transport ticket or Urban Sports Club/EGYM, Corporate Benefits.
- Well-equipped offices in Berlin and Munich.Â
