Job Description
About the Role
This is the first engineering hire at an early-stage legal and finance tech startup, building the core platform that turns high-volume, parallel claims proceedings into a structured, automated workflow. You will own the entire stack, working directly with the founders and clients in a regulated, high-stakes domain where the product directly shapes live legal operations.
What You'll Do
Develop and operate the full platform, covering frontend, backend, and infrastructure end-to-end.
Build intuitive control surfaces for case and claims management, deadline tracking, scenario analysis, and daily reporting aimed at legal, CFO, and operations users.
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 day one, including 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+ years of full-stack development experience with at least one product shipped to production.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js in production environments.
Solid experience with PostgreSQL and cloud infrastructure, including API design and data modelling.
Hands-on experience integrating AI or LLMs, RAG systems, or document processing pipelines.
Background building interfaces that handle tens of thousands of records with complex workflows.
Experience in regulated industries with enterprise clients, including familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or TISAX.
Experience building security-critical systems with full auditability.
German language proficiency at C1 level and comfort with direct client engagement.
Independent, accountable working style with an appetite for complex domains.
Location
Hybrid, based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
