Senior Software Engineer (Fullstack/Platform)

Build product that matters, ship fast, and lead engineering at a company where a small team delivers big results.

At edyoucated, we’re building a modern platform that helps companies manage their skills and learning in one place – from assessing skill needs to delivering personalized development paths. Since 2019, customers like BASF, Bertelsmann, and Deutsche Bahn have trusted us to deliver fast, flexible, and intelligent learning experiences to thousands of employees.

We’re now hiring a senior engineer to lead AI-driven development and own delivery of impactful product initiatives – shaping architecture, shipping features end-to-end, and accelerating how we build. The role offers a CTO growth path based on impact. This track isn’t about people management – it’s about technical leadership, architecture, and raising the engineering bar across the team.

You’ll work closely with two engineers, a senior product designer, and our CPO. You’ll touch both frontend and backend depending on your strengths, and help us maintain one of the fastest idea-to-production cycles in our space. We frequently hear from customers: “Wow, you’ve been building this with such a small team? I’ve never seen this speed before.”

What you’ll do

• Turn ideas into production within days.
• Help the team maintain and improve our already fast development cycles.
• Establish AI-accelerated workflows (IDEs, context files, MCP connectors, QA/ops automations) and coach the team.
• Design simple, secure, observable systems with pragmatic tests and alerts.
• Partner with Product & Design; balance speed and quality to maximize customer value.

How we build (at a glance)

• Modern stack: Angular 20, AWS serverless, strong component library with Storybook.
• Ship fast: automated pipeline to production in <30 minutes; 20–40 deploys/day.
• Focus time: only 2 weekly recurring meetings (+ daily standup) → developers spend ~95% on product work.
• End-to-end ownership: typical feature cycles 3–5 days from concept to rollout.
• Tests that matter: 3,000+ unit and 500+ e2e tests.
• Real ownership: full access to infrastructure and tools – because we trust you to move fast and fix things
• Resilient by design: serverless, isolated business logic; small blast radius.

• Senior/Staff-level experience shipping across the stack (FE or BE affinity is fine).
• You’ve used AI tools in development (e.g. for coding, testing, documentation) and are excited to help bring these into team workflows.
• Architecture & operations maturity: CI/CD, testing strategy, observability, SLO thinking.
• Pragmatic privacy & security for multi-tenant SaaS.
• Clear communication, ownership, and mentoring experience.
• You’re comfortable navigating complex architectures and bringing clarity and structure to them.
• You thrive in fast-paced, iterative environments – ideally with some experience in a growth-stage startup.
• English fluency.

Nice to have / our stack

Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS Serverless (Lambdas, Step Functions), DynamoDB, GraphQL, OpenSearch, Sentry, GitHub Actions, Storybook/Chromatic, Cypress, Jest. German language is a plus.

• Small, ambitious team with high autonomy, fast decision-making, and direct customer impact.
• Flat hierarchies, no fixed roles: we believe in lifelong learning and evolving as engineers through meaningful work.
• You’ll choose your preferred hardware and OS – so you can work with the tools that suit you best.
• Remote-first across EU time zones, with quarterly team weeks in rotating locations.
• Attractive stock option program and a clear growth path – including the option to grow into a CTO-like leadership role.
