Your responsibilities Own technical projects end to end. You frame the problem, design the solution, lead implementation and rollout, and stay accountable for how it runs in production.

Shape technical design decisions. You work on feature-level architecture as well as topics that affect the whole system, such as data models, API design and tooling.

Build solutions around user needs. You work closely with Product, Design and Business to shape the right solution. When you see a better way, you question the original requirement.

Find the problems nobody has ticketed yet. You spot hidden risks and tech debt early, make the case for fixing them and help set priorities.

Raise the bar around you. You give code reviews that teach, pair program and mentor mid-level engineers.

Help us grow the team. You take part in hiring, both technical interviews and conversations about collaboration and team fit.

What you bring Proven production experience. You have 5+ years of experience building and running production software, ideally at a growing SaaS company. You've built features and also supported them live.

Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills. Our backend runs on NestJS and our frontend on React. You're strong in one and comfortable working in the other.

API and system design that holds up. You've designed APIs and system boundaries that held up under real usage, and you can explain what you would do differently today.

Ownership beyond the code. For you, deployment, testing, CI/CD and observability are part of the product, not an afterthought.

A track record of mentoring. You've mentored engineers and can name people who got better because of you.

Self-awareness. You know your strengths and use them on purpose. When it makes sense, you ask for support early instead of staying stuck.

Pragmatic and product-minded. You work in a practical, solution-focused way and keep the product vision in mind. You ask "why" before you jump to "how".

Fluent English. German is a plus.
