Summary

Own features end-to-end — from architecture through implementation and release — for a German-language AI phone assistant at a seed-funded European startup serving SMEs. Core stack is Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and React; requires native-level German and CET-hours availability in a fully remote role.

About the Role

This is a Senior Fullstack Engineer position at a fast-growing, seed-funded European AI voice technology startup serving thousands of SMEs. You will own features end-to-end, from prototype to production, and directly shape the product experience for a German-language AI phone assistant used across Europe.

What You'll Do

  • Take full ownership of features across the entire stack, from architecture decisions through implementation and release.

  • Engage regularly with customers, partners, and the Sales team to identify real pain points and inform priorities.

  • Run product discovery by forming hypotheses and validating them quickly through lightweight experiments.

  • Instrument your areas of ownership with the metrics needed to make data-driven decisions.

  • Build pragmatic, scalable software that balances immediate customer value with long-term maintainability.

  • Communicate asynchronously and keep meeting overhead low, prioritizing shipping.

  • Act with radical ownership, pushing initiatives forward proactively.

What We're Looking For

  • 5 or more years of fullstack engineering experience with end-to-end delivery responsibility for customer-facing web applications.

  • Strong hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and React.

  • Proven ability to drive product discovery: forming hypotheses, running experiments, and measuring outcomes.

  • Experience identifying, collecting, and using metrics to support product decisions.

  • Comfort collaborating directly with customers, partners, and sales to extract actionable insights.

  • Native-level German proficiency (required, given the product's language focus).

  • Fluent English for team communication.

  • Strong CS fundamentals and sound judgment when trading off speed, quality, and effort.

  • Experience integrating LLMs (such as OpenAI APIs) into production applications is a strong plus.

  • Familiarity with GDPR and EU AI Act considerations for AI services is a plus.

  • Experience working in a high-growth startup environment is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: 80,000 to 120,000 EUR annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

Fully remote, with a preference for candidates based in Germany or Austria and availability during Central European Time hours. Optional in-person collaboration from the Vienna, Austria office is available.
