About the role

• Senior Full Stack Engineer developing satellite analytics products for government solutions. Building prototypes and scalable architecture within dynamic team environment in Berlin.

Responsibilities

• Rapidly design and build end-to-end prototypes (TypeScript & Python), translating ambiguous requirements into functional, testable systems that validate product direction.
• Define and implement integrations with existing platforms and services (internal and external), ensuring clean interfaces, reliable data flows, and extensibility for future development.
• Collaborate across teams to reuse and adapt existing components, aligning on architecture, APIs, and shared standards while bridging gaps between systems.
• Take ownership of early architectural decisions (service boundaries, data models, deployment patterns), balancing speed of iteration with long-term maintainability.
• Iterate quickly based on feedback from stakeholders and partners, evolving prototypes into more robust solutions and identifying what should transition into production systems.
• Work closely with external partners to prototype integrations and validate interoperability in real-world environments.
• Establish best practices for prototyping and early-stage development (code quality, documentation, lightweight testing), creating a foundation for future engineering efforts.
• Contribute across the stack—from backend services and APIs to frontend interfaces—ensuring a cohesive and usable end-to-end experience.

Requirements

• Strong engineering fundamentals in TypeScript and Python, with a focus on clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.
• Experience building full-stack applications, including backend services, APIs, and modern frontend interfaces.
• Proven ability to rapidly prototype and iterate, translating ambiguous requirements into functional solutions.
• Experience designing and implementing integrations between systems (APIs, data pipelines, third-party services).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and deploying scalable services.
• Solid understanding of software architecture and system design, with the ability to make pragmatic trade-offs in early development stages.
• Experience working in collaborative, cross-functional environments and aligning with multiple stakeholders.
• Proactive work style, clear communication, and smooth collaboration both within and across teams.
• Practical mindset: balancing deep research with pragmatic execution.
• Enjoys working with complexity and turning ambiguity into structure.
• Experience in early-stage or zero-to-one product environments is a plus.
• Experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., React, Node.js, FastAPI, or similar) is a plus.
• Understanding of data pipelines and work on data-intensive applications is a plus.
• Familiarity with AI/ML-driven products and integrating model outputs into applications is a plus.
• Experience collaborating with external partners or building interoperable systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with geospatial data or earth observation is a plus.
• Experience with modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, agentic workflows) to accelerate prototyping and boost productivity is a plus.
