About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a small, product-focused team at a bootstrapped AI platform and consulting studio based in Munich, Germany. You'll work on the core platform that enables thousands of users to interact with AI every day — building high-quality full-stack features, scalable backend systems, and the infrastructure that powers massive LLM workloads, large-scale data synchronisation, and rapid custom integrations. This is a hybrid role based in Munich.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and ship high-quality full-stack features using TypeScript and React, with a strong focus on seamless user experience. - Design and implement robust backend systems capable of handling terabytes of client data and millions of API requests. - Take end-to-end ownership of features — from concept and architecture through deployment to ongoing operation, with a focus on reliability and security. - Debug production incidents, identify root causes, and implement durable solutions.

- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a high-quality codebase through thorough, constructive code reviews. - Synchronise and index large client datasets while managing fine-grained permissions. - Operate and optimise systems that process millions of LLM calls per month at high reliability. - Architect environments that spawn thousands of secure code sandboxes per day. - Build foundational infrastructure to help the integrations team onboard new systems quickly.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves: - 3+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering full-stack features in production. - Strong proficiency with React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. - Hands-on experience with Dockerized environments and CI/CD pipelines. - Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment and container orchestration. - Proven track record of building production-grade backend services at scale — high data volume, millions of API requests, with reliability and security as first-class concerns.

- Comfortable owning features end-to-end and debugging complex production issues. Nice to have: - Experience with Python, tRPC, or similar backend technologies. - Experience integrating with GenAI platforms or LLMs. - Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading code reviews. - Background in developer tools or AI-integrated products. You'll thrive here if you: - Have a strong product mindset and care deeply about the user experience.

- Learn quickly and enjoy working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. - Take pride in long-term code quality and scalable system design. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: €60,000 – €80,000 per year, depending on experience. - Work on meaningful, technically challenging problems in the AI space. - Collaborative, agile team with a flat structure and strong engineering culture. Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

LOCATION This is a hybrid position based in Munich, Germany. Candidates must be located in or willing to relocate to Munich. Remote-only arrangements are not available.
