The Role
Own end-to-end feature delivery for an AI-native fullstack product: translate user journeys into specs, implement full-stack features, build Playwright E2E suites, set SLOs and observability (Sentry, OpenTelemetry), manage incidents, design GDPR-aligned EU-only hosting architectures, lead AI-agent workflows and technical decisions, and document architecture (ADRs).

Company: taleroo GmbH
Location: Berlin (Mitte) – Hybrid (2 days office, 3 days remote)
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
About Us
At taleroo, we are building the digital platform that seamlessly connects job seekers, government agencies, and training providers across Germany. From skills profiling and AI-driven training recommendations to automated progress reporting – we sit at the intersection of B2G compliance and consumer-grade product quality. For us, GDPR (DSGVO) isn't a checkbox; it's a core design constraint built into every single feature.
Tasks
End-to-End Feature Shipping: Own features completely from ambiguous founder input to live production. Translate documented user journeys into technical specs, full-stack implementation, and automated E2E coverage.
* AI Workflow Leadership: Set and maintain the team's engineering standards for working with coding agents (authoring CLAUDE, AGENTS, cursorrules) and configure MCP servers to maximize development leverage.
* Test Automation: Build and maintain production-grade Playwright suites covering critical journeys (AI-generated, human-reviewed) to ensure a baseline of 100% journey coverage on revenue-critical flows.
* Production Reliability & DevOps: Define SLOs, instrument observability (Sentry, OpenTelemetry), and carry incident response for your owned surfaces.
* GDPR-Aligned Architecture: Maintain and design systems in compliance with data minimization, purpose limitation, and EU-only hosting infrastructures (Hetzner, Scaleway, AWS Frankfurt, Vercel EU).
* Technical Decision Making: Document architectural decisions clearly in writing (ADRs) and actively participate in high-bar technical debates.
Requirements
Engineering Depth: Proven track record of shipping complex production systems end-to-end, ideally as an early engineer at a startup or within a high-bar product team.
* Technical Stack: Fluency in TypeScript across the entire stack, Next.js 15+ / React 19+ (App Router, Server Components, Server Actions), and PostgreSQL with an ORM (Drizzle or Prisma).
* AI-Native Mastery: Daily, fluent use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) as your primary execution layer, with clear opinions on when agents accelerate or hinder development.
* Testing & Operations: Production-grade experience with Playwright (or Cypress), on-call incident response, and structured logging. Baseline literacy in GDPR/BDSG (§32 BDSG) is a strong plus.
* DRI Mindset: Highly autonomous individual who thrives without a manager layer running sprints or setting tickets. You measure success by user outcomes, not lines of code.
* Communication & Language: Exceptional written English (C1+) for async documentation. Additionally, professional proficiency in German is required to confidently run 30-minute calls with Jobcenter caseworkers without switching languages.
Benefits
* Compensation: Highly competitive, above-market base salary reflecting your seniority and scope.
* Premium Tooling & Hardware: State-of-the-art equipment (MacBook) and fully covered premium AI subscriptions (Claude Max, Cursor Pro) alongside a dedicated L&D budget for conferences.
* Work-Life Flexibility: Modern hybrid work model (2 days in our Berlin-Mitte office, 3 days remote) supported by an async-first company culture that prioritizes deep work over unnecessary meetings.
* Impact & High Ownership: Flat hierarchy reporting directly to the founder. No corporate bureaucracy, meaning zero friction between your architectural decisions and real production outcomes.
To apply, send three things:
1. Link to your AI coding workflow artifact (CLAUDE. md / AGENTS. md / cursorrules, MCP server, agent skill, blog post, or video). One sentence of context.
2. Link to one production system you owned (deployed URL + GitHub repo). One sentence of context.
3. 5-minute Loom video walking through one of these projects, your camera on, no script. Show us how you think, not how you write.
Apply now and let’s schedule a casual 30-minute intro call. We move fast, and we respect your time.
