• Improve performance for large datasets and participate in on-call rotations.
• Collaborate with Product, Legal, and Data Acquisition to deliver compliant workflows.

About you

• 3–7 years full-stack TypeScript experience; shipped data-intensive or compliance-sensitive products.
• Comfortable with React/Next.js, Node.js/tRPC, search/streaming systems, and testing/observability.
• Eligible to work in Germany; EU/NATO citizenship preferred for export-control work.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with OSINT, rate limiting, or policy enforcement.

What We Offer

• Modern stack: TypeScript/Next.js/React, Node, Kafka/Temporal, Postgres/OpenSearch, Kubernetes.
• Remote-first in Germany with regular Berlin prototyping sprints, 30 days vacation, equipment & learning budget.
• High-impact work: your prototypes shape what becomes product across multiple delivery teams.
