Job description

Your mission

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to take full ownership of our technology and lead a small, senior engineering team. You set the technical direction, keep the quality bar high, and make sure we keep shipping, as a close sparring partner to our founders and product leadership. You lead the team day to day and still roll up your sleeves when a problem needs your hands on it.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead a small, highly experienced engineering team (5 people): set clear priorities, delegate real ownership, and keep people growing through 1:1s, code-review guidance, and technical sparring.
  • Own engineering quality: reliable standards, architectural reviews, production readiness, and the final gate before release.
  • Act as technical sparring partner for founders, product, and design, and drive delivery end-to-end: from solution design to production, in short cycles, including advancing our SaaS onboarding.
  • Oversee the architecture across distributed systems, APIs, desktop applications, our AWS infrastructure and internal DevOps platform, and a multi-repository codebase with solid infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability behind it.
  • Own security and compliance in practice: ISO continuity, least-privilege access, secrets management, PKI, and supply-chain security, including recurring audits and technical due diligence.
  • Push our production AI support agent further: more automated ticket resolution, production-grade RAG, tool calling, evaluations, guardrails, and monitoring.

Your profile
  • 10+ years in software engineering, with proven experience leading and developing a small, senior team.
  • You’ve grown up in early-stage startups (seed to Series B) and know that stage, a purely corporate or enterprise background wouldn’t be the right fit here.
  • Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, solid with Python and PostgreSQL, and confident across APIs, distributed systems, production debugging, and multi-repo setups.
  • Advanced AWS knowledge and real ownership of cloud-native production: infrastructure as code, GitOps, CI/CD, observability, plus a practical security mindset and calm judgement during incidents.
  • Production experience with AI agents:RAG, tool calling, workflow automation, evaluations, guardrails, monitoring, approached as software engineering, not model training or ML research.
  • Product-minded and pragmatic: business-focused judgement, no overengineering, and a high shipping cadence. Fluent in English (C1); German is a plus.

Nice to have
  • Desktop applications: Electron, native macOS and Windows apps, gRPC, mTLS, secure storage, code signing, automated updates, and staged rollouts.
  • Direct involvement in ISO certification, recurring audits, and technical due diligence.

Why us?
  • High impact and real ownership from day one: no bureaucracy, no endless approval loops.
  • A small, ambitious team in Berlin and Munich, backed by top European VCs including Atomico and Cherry Ventures.
  • Competitive salary + virtual share package (VSOP).
  • Benefits: public transport ticket or Urban Sports Club/EGYM, Corporate Benefits.
  • Well-equipped offices in Berlin and Munich.

We are looking forward to receiving your application!
