Founding Fullstack Engineer (m/f/d)

We’re a highly specialized tech startup in the heart of Berlin – working on one of the most relevant challenges of our time: bringing AI where it has the greatest impact – into the German public sector. What we build isn't theory. It's live, in production, available to more than 1.4 million people across most German federal states – and growing fast. As one of Germany's fastest-growing GovTech startups (50% MoM growth over several months), something genuinely new happens here every single day. Hours fly by, weeks feel like months. No politics, no theatre – just 100% customer focus. In short: maximum impact, minimum friction.

Your Role

Drive our applied AI roadmap: LLM agents (pydantic-ai), RAG over pgvector, agentic crawling and evaluation systems for LLM accuracy

Solve real scaling and reliability challenges for citizen-facing telephony: real-time processing, latency, uptime and horizontal scaling

Own multi-tenant data isolation, security and DSGVO/GDPR compliance on a Postgres foundation (RLS, zero-trust access, migration discipline)

Partner with the founders on product strategy, technical trade-offs and the long-term architecture of the company

Lead, grow and mentor a small, senior engineering team across multiple services in Python and TypeScript, and set the hiring bar as we scale

Your Profile

Proven experience leading and growing engineering teams, with a strong hands-on technical foundation you haven't left behind

Deep experience building and operating production systems in Python and/or modern TypeScript/React

Applied AI experience: LLM agents, RAG, and evaluation — you've shipped these to real users, not just prototyped them

Strong instincts for multi-tenant data isolation, security and EU data protection (DSGVO/GDPR)

A reliability engineering mindset for real-time, latency-sensitive, citizen-facing services

The judgment to balance speed and substance — you ship fast prototypes, then harden them into robust, well-architected systems

Nice-to-have: experience in regulated, security-critical, or public-sector environments
