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.
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.
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.
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.
