• Establish metrics to measure engineering productivity, quality, and compliance, using data to guide improvements

• Strong expertise in Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) practices and implementation
• Familiarity with developer portals, internal platforms, and self-service tooling like Backstage or custom solutions
• Design and implement "golden path" experiences that provide well-documented workflows for common engineering tasks, reducing cognitive load while maintaining flexibility for innovation and expansion
• Experience implementing developer-centric security and compliance controls within development processes (static analysis, dependency scanning, policy enforcement)
• Effective communication skills for connecting technical concepts with business value
• Data-informed approach to measuring and improving engineering efficiency
• Demonstrated success in attracting, developing, and retaining diverse engineering talent
• Understanding of developer needs and challenges, with dedication to improving developer experience

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows and LLM integration into toolchains

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Join a diverse team of 40+ nationalities with flat hierarchies and a collaborative company culture.
• Opportunity to build and scale your career at the intersection of customer-facing roles and engineering in a dynamic startup on its journey to become an international leader in SaaS platforms for Conversational AI.
• Deutschland ticket, Urban Sports Club, Job Rad, Nilo Health, weekly sponsored office lunches
• Competitive compensation and equity package.
• Flexible working hours, 28 vacation days and workation opportunities.
• Access to a training and development budget for continuous professional growth.
• Regular team events, game nights, and other social activities.
• Hybrid work environment. However, we love to build real connections and want to welcome everyone in our beautiful Berlin office on certain days.
