Full Stack Engineer

About the Role

This is the first engineering hire at an early-stage legal and finance tech startup, building a platform that brings mass claims proceedings out of spreadsheets and into a purpose-built, production-grade system. You will own the entire stack, working directly with the founders and clients in a high-stakes, regulated domain where your work has immediate, tangible impact.

What You'll Do

Develop and operate the full platform across frontend, backend, and infrastructure as the sole engineer.

Build intuitive control surfaces for case and claims management, deadlines, status tracking, scenario analysis, and daily reporting, designed for lawyers, CFOs, and operations teams.

Design and implement APIs and integrations connecting to clients' case, contract, payment, and CRM systems, as well as law firms, legal software, and settlement agents.

Create AI-supported data pipelines that transform statements of claim, dunning letters, and official notices into structured cases.

Embed security and auditability from the start: tenant separation, least-privilege access, encryption, and complete logging.

Collaborate closely with founders and clients from requirements gathering through to go-live.

What We're Looking For

3 or more years of full-stack development experience, with at least one product built and deployed to production end-to-end.

Strong proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js with hands-on production experience.

Confidence with PostgreSQL and cloud infrastructure, including API design and data modelling.

Experience integrating AI or LLMs, RAG systems, or document processing pipelines.

Background building interfaces that handle large datasets and complex workflows, suitable for enterprise and board-level audiences.

Familiarity with regulated industries, enterprise clients, and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or TISAX.

Experience building security-critical systems with tenant separation, encryption, and audit logging.

German language proficiency at C1 level and comfort engaging directly with clients.

Independent, accountable working style with an appetite for complex domains.

Experience at early-stage startups with direct founder and client collaboration is a plus.
