Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical, problem-obsessed, and systems-minded Expert Full-Stack Engineer to join our core centralized Engineering collective in a full-time remote capacity open to qualified technical authorities resident anywhere across Germany, Italy, Portugal, or Spain. Operating as a principal individual contributor and technical anchor for our high-visibility “Get Discovered” squad, you will step up to claim true individual operational and strategic accountability over our cross-functional application stack, system design standards, and architectural roadmaps. Shifting completely away from routine website updates, basic layout styling adjustments, minor localized database logging, or simple disconnected administrative task tracking loops, you will run an active multi-tenant full-stack, search optimization, and AI-first product development laboratory—collaborating hand-in-hand with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership blocks. This position requires a product-led application veteran with 8+ years of craft depth who maps out modular frontend systems fluidly natively using React and TypeScript, programs low-latency microservices cleanly natively leveraging Node.js, Kotlin, or Java backends, and commands distributed data layers confidently under secure cloud-native environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-Stack Systems Architecture & Evolution: Architect, evolve, and maintain scalable, reliable full-stack applications, managing frontend interfaces, backend microservices, and structural data layers cleanly natively utilizing React patterns.
• Technical Leadership and Standard Governance: Spearhead high-level architectural decisions, formulate organizational engineering benchmarks, and draft definitive Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to eliminate system dependencies.
• End-to-End Initiative Execution: Lead complex, large-scale platform modernization initiatives from conceptual scope definitions into actionable technical roadmaps that deliver direct customer conversion value.
• Pioneering AI-Assisted Workflows: Champion the deep organizational adoption of AI-first software development tools (such as Cursor, Claude, and related generative interfaces), integrating automated pair-programming models to elevate team velocity and quality metrics.
• External Infrastructure Integration: Coordinate technical and operational dependencies with international third-party platforms and vendors, including Google Workspace APIs, domain registrars, email delivery systems, and RankingCoach SEO layers.
• CI/CD and Observability Optimization: Drive systematic advancements across automation frameworks, continuous deployment pipelines, automated testing layers, system telemetry logs, and site reliability metrics.
• Engineering Cohort Mentorship: Elevate technical craftsmanship across our lean engineering pods, conducting code design reviews, guiding engineering cells, and hosting structured knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Cross-Functional Strategy Alignment: Partner in lockstep with distributed Product, Design, and Data groups to influence long-range digital features that assist small merchants in tracking traffic and capturing customers online.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• A minimum of 8 years of verified professional history running advanced full-stack software engineering operations, multi-tenant application development, platform modernization architecture, or global tech consulting.
• Expert-tier capability modeling complex application components, optimizing runtime layouts, and managing states natively utilizing React and type-safe TypeScript modules.
• Practical operational familiarity organizing server-side routing logic, building scalable APIs, and configuring data endpoints natively using Node.js, Kotlin, or Java backend frameworks.
• Proven career track record leading architectural direction and establishing engineering standards across multiple cross-functional software teams.
• Deep conceptual command of distributed system design, automated testing strategies, continuous integration (CI/CD) paths, and proactive infrastructure monitoring.
• Demonstrated everyday hands-on mastery integrating generative AI development frameworks (such as Cursor, Claude, or similar tools) to author and debug live production code blocks.
• Outstanding written, verbal, and scannable technical-documentation communication attributes in business-fluent English to present technical design proposals before flat hierarchy stakeholder boards.
• Location Context: Position open to qualified full-stack software authorities based permanently and resident within the borders of Germany, Italy, Portugal, or Spain to operate under a 100% remote work-from-home layout.

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior engineering background operating within hyper-growth, product-led environments focusing on SaaS architectures, digital marketing platforms, or search engine optimization tools.
• Direct experience handling large-scale migrations from legacy frameworks to modern cloud-native architectures.
• Familiarity with containerization systems, cloud networking configurations, or managing localized domain and DNS architectures.

What We Offer

• Vetted Web-Tech Sector Salaried Blueprint: A competitive full-time baseline annual corporate salary package calibrated precisely to evaluate your full-stack craftsmanship and technical leadership, supplemented by annual compensation reviews to guarantee absolute market equity.
• The spectacular professional canvas to claim an expert-level individual contributor seat, directly guiding the AI-assisted infrastructure that helps millions of global entrepreneurs get found online.
• Profound work-from-home remote parameters offering a 100% remote virtual environment across four European territories, complete scheduling trust prioritizing results over raw hours, and zero physical geographic office commuting friction.
• Access to elite personal and career development tracks, featuring company-wide access to LinkedIn Learning keys, dedicated Deep Work Thursdays, Hack Weeks, eLearning platforms, and corporate-funded technical conferences.
• An inclusive international team mosaic containing 220+ individuals across 50+ countries, supported by an Employee-led DEI Council and active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).
