Job Description
### About the Role
We're a fast-growing, Munich-based AI-powered B2B SaaS company (founded 2022, ~25 people) building privacy-first productivity tools for sales teams. Our product spans a web app, desktop client, iOS app, and backend services — all centered around real-time, low-latency data processing and seamless CRM integrations.
As a **Senior Full-Stack Engineer**, you'll take technical ownership of a major platform surface, work directly with the CTO and founding engineers to shape product and infrastructure strategy, and help define how we build and ship software at scale. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role at the heart of our engineering team. The role is **hybrid** and based in **Munich, Germany**. _Visa sponsorship is not available._
### What You'll Do
* Own a platform — web, desktop, iOS, or backend — and deliver real-time, low-latency features end-to-end.
* Architect scalable services and define cross-stack best practices that balance performance, reliability, and product velocity.
* Collaborate closely with the CTO and founding engineers to shape product direction and infrastructure strategy.
* Mentor junior engineers, lead code reviews, and foster a high-performing, learning-oriented engineering culture.
* Build and maintain a robust delivery pipeline, including CI/CD, test automation, and deployment strategies.
* Document architectural decisions and communicate clearly across engineering, product, and infrastructure teams.
### What We're Looking For
**Required:**
* Expertise in **TypeScript, React, and Node.js** with a strong modern full-stack development background.
* Familiarity with **Swift or C++** (at least one is required).
**Strongly valued:**
* Experience building and operating **real-time, low-latency features** and performance optimizations.
* Exposure to **audio, voice, or AI technologies**.
* Experience with **privacy-focused architectures** or real-time data pipelines.
* Strong track record with **CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and delivery infrastructure**.
* Experience designing and operating **scalable distributed systems / microservices** across web, desktop, and mobile.
* Familiarity with **cross-platform development** (web, iOS, desktop).
* Proven ability to **lead technical decisions**, perform code reviews, and shape architectural direction.
* Previous experience as a **technical lead or CTO at a startup**.
* Mentoring and coaching junior engineers with a track record of building high-performing teams.
* Contributions to **open-source projects** or personal side projects you're proud of.
* University degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or an adjacent technical field.
* Strong CS fundamentals.
### Location & Work Arrangement
* **Hybrid** role based in **Munich, Germany**.
* Visa sponsorship is **not available** — candidates must have the right to work in Germany.
### Compensation & Benefits
Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. Specific details will be discussed during the interview process. You'll be joining a small, high-calibre team at an early stage with meaningful equity participation and direct influence over technical direction.
