Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)

• →

  Own features end-to-end, including the user interface, from discovery with the grant team through to production

• →

  Turn ambiguous business problems into clear technical plans, ship a first version quickly, then iterate

• →

  Advance the AI pipeline through prompt engineering, context management, cost control and a multi-provider setup (AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI)

• →

  Build and own the AI evaluation practice: prompt quality, model selection and regression detection

• →

  Operate, monitor and debug the live production environment (Sentry, CloudWatch, Postgres performance)

• →

  Make architecture decisions and shape code quality, engineering standards and the technical roadmap

• →

  Build interfaces with a usability-first mindset so the product genuinely works for grant writers

• →

  Shorten the time from starting a new project to a finished, submitted application through features, reliability and automation

• 2+ years working in a senior engineering role (not only total experience), with a track record of owning products or major features end-to-end

• Start-up or scale-up experience: you have taken an unclear business problem with no real spec and shipped a working solution quickly

• Several years of professional experience with TypeScript and Node.js, plus solid Postgres depth (JSONB, query performance, migrations)

• Confident across the full stack: Next.js / React Query on the frontend, Express and BullMQ on the backend, AWS (ECS, RDS) for infrastructure

• Hands-on experience building and running AI pipelines in production, beyond simply calling an API

• AI-native way of working: tools such as Claude Code or Cursor are part of your daily workflow

• Clear written and spoken English; you can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical founder in a few sentences

• High ownership: you close problems yourself, bring proposals rather than diagnoses, and work well without detailed direction

• German at B1 level or above (a plus, not a requirement; the team works bilingually)

• Experience with AI agents and tool-calling workflows in production

• Experience with Terraform
