Senior Full Stack Engineer - Government Solutions

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to lay the technical foundations of a new product within our Government team—shaping it from early prototypes to a scalable, production-ready solution. This is a zero-to-one role: part prototyping, part systems design, part integration engineering—all impact.

What you'll do

• Rapidly design and build end-to-end prototypes (TypeScript & Python), translating ambiguous requirements into functional, testable systems that validate product direction.
• Define and implement integrations with existing platforms and services (internal and external), ensuring clean interfaces, reliable data flows, and extensibility for future development.
• Collaborate across teams to reuse and adapt existing components, aligning on architecture, APIs, and shared standards while bridging gaps between systems.
• Take ownership of early architectural decisions (service boundaries, data models, deployment patterns), balancing speed of iteration with long-term maintainability.
• Iterate quickly based on feedback from stakeholders and partners, evolving prototypes into more robust solutions and identifying what should transition into production systems.
• Work closely with external partners to prototype integrations and validate interoperability in real-world environments.
• Establish best practices for prototyping and early-stage development (code quality, documentation, lightweight testing), creating a foundation for future engineering efforts.
• Contribute across the stack—from backend services and APIs to frontend interfaces—ensuring a cohesive and usable end-to-end experience.

What you'll need

• Strong engineering fundamentals in TypeScript and Python, with a focus on writing clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.
• Experience building full stack applications, including backend services, APIs, and modern frontend interfaces.
• Proven ability to rapidly prototype and iterate on products, translating ambiguous requirements into working solutions.
• Experience designing and implementing integrations between systems (APIs, data pipelines, third-party services).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and deploying scalable services.
• Solid understanding of software architecture and system design, with the ability to make pragmatic trade-offs in early-stage environments.
• Experience working in collaborative, cross-functional environments and aligning with multiple stakeholders.
• You take ownership and proactively push work forward.

Nice to have

• Experience working in early-stage or zero-to-one product environments.
• Experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., React, Node.js, FastAPI, or similar).
• Understanding of data pipelines and working with data-intensive applications.
• Exposure to AI/ML-driven products and integrating model outputs into applications.
• Familiarity with geospatial data or Earth observation.
• Experience using modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, agentic workflows) to accelerate prototyping and improve engineering productivity.

What they offer

• Flexible working hours and hybrid work model.
• Freedom to drive your own career development and be creative.
• Collaborative and learning environment with workshops, knowledge sharing, and hackathons.
• Office in Berlin Kreuzberg with free fruit, nuts and drinks.
• Employee stock option program potential.
• Urban Sports membership, BVG subsidy, and corporate pension program.
