What You'll Do

  • Run rapid experiments and build lightweight prototypes to validate product ideas.
  • Speak regularly with customers, partners, and Sales to identify real needs and pain points.
  • Design tracking and use product metrics to guide decisions and improvements.
  • Build across the stack and make pragmatic architecture choices that balance fast learning with long-term scalability.
  • Take ownership of initiatives and move them forward independently.

What We're Looking For

  • At least three years of product engineering experience delivering features end to end.
  • Full-stack experience with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and React.
  • Experience owning software from architecture and implementation through production release.
  • Hands-on experience in a startup environment and a strong customer-focused product mindset.
  • German proficiency at B2 level or above and fluent English.
  • Experience integrating large language models or building AI-powered features is an advantage.
  • Comfort using data and metrics to make product decisions.
