We're looking for a Founding Engineer to work directly with leadership on high-impact, zero-to-one projects. If you love taking full ownership, moving fast, and building real products end-to-end, we want to hear from you.
What you'll do
- Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or mobile/web), from idea to production.
- Take full ownership of projects: scope, architecture, implementation, and rollout.
- Jump onto critical initiatives (SDK, network, new product bets) and unblock them fast.
- Ship high-quality, testable code at high speed.
- Work closely with whoever is needed to shape what we build next.
- Using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your everyday toolkit — we actively encourage AI-assisted development.
What you'll need
- Strong experience as a senior-level engineer in product teams.
- Deep hands-on skills in backend (e.g. TypeScript/Node).
- Proven zero-to-one experience (early-stage startup, founding engineer, or similar).
- Track record of owning complex projects and delivering them to production.
- A builder with a strong ownership mindset and high output.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality.
- Product-minded: you care about impact, not just code.
- Clear communicator in English, both written and spoken.
What they offer
- Competitive package with meaningful equity.
- Central Berlin office with transport subsidy.
- Breakfasts and lunches provided.
- Language learning and Urban Sports Club access.
