About the Role
We are an angel-backed AI SaaS startup building a German-language AI phone assistant used by thousands of European businesses. Our small, high-growth team operates in a remote-first environment with strong CET overlap, and we are looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer who thrives on end-to-end ownership — from idea through architecture, implementation, and release.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and product: you will engage directly with customers, run experiments, and ship features that deliver measurable value. Native-level German proficiency is required, as our product and many of our customers operate in German.
What You'll Do
-
Own features end-to-end — from prototype and architecture decisions through to customer-facing release.
-
Engage continuously with customers, partners, and the sales team to surface real pain points and translate them into product improvements.
-
Run product discovery by forming hypotheses and validating them with lightweight experiments before building large systems.
-
Instrument and track the metrics relevant to your area to enable data-driven decisions.
-
Build pragmatic, scalable software that balances immediate customer value with long-term maintainability.
-
Communicate asynchronously where possible and prioritize shipping over excessive process.
-
Act with radical ownership — push initiatives forward without waiting for permission.
-
Work remotely with CET overlap, or from the Vienna office as needed.
What We're Looking For
-
5+ years of full-stack engineering experience delivering end-to-end web features.
-
Strong proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and React.
-
Native-level German proficiency — non-negotiable for this role.
-
Product mindset: you measure success by customer value, not lines of code.
-
Experience with product discovery — forming hypotheses and validating them quickly through experiments.
-
Comfortable owning analytics, tracking, and data to support product decisions.
-
Experience collaborating directly with customers, partners, and sales to define value and understand pain points.
-
Strong CS fundamentals and sound judgment on effort/quality/speed trade-offs.
Nice to have:
-
Experience integrating LLMs (e.g., OpenAI) into production applications — a significant plus.
-
Experience deploying AI-enabled services on Microsoft Azure in Europe.
-
Familiarity with GDPR and EU AI Act considerations for AI services.
-
Prior experience in a high-growth startup environment.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: $80,000 – $120,000 USD annually (or equivalent), depending on experience.
-
Remote-first culture with strong async communication norms.
-
Small, high-ownership team where your impact is visible and meaningful.
Location
Fully remote with CET timezone overlap preferred. The team is headquartered in Vienna, Austria; occasional in-office collaboration is possible. Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must already have the right to work in the relevant jurisdiction.
