• Strong full-stack TypeScript skills and solid cloud, database, and API fundamentals.

• Production experience building LLM features or agents, including tool use, retrieval, evaluations, and attention to cost and latency.

• Regular use of agentic coding tools, with experience reviewing and verifying AI-generated code at scale.

• Experience modernizing live systems while maintaining reliability, and building security and GDPR protections into multi-tenant products.

• Experience with web and mobile codebases, component-based frontend frameworks, testing, CI/CD, and feature flags.

• Cloud, platform, or developer experience in high-scale or hyperscaler environments is beneficial.

• Founding engineer, first engineering hire, or founder experience and early mentoring experience are beneficial. English fluency is required; German is not required.
