Lead the Team: Guide and grow our engineering team across Dataviz, Frontend, Backend, Integrations, and DevOps.
Own the Architecture: Take responsibility for our overall architecture, technology choices, and the scalability of the platform—and stay hands-on enough to know why every decision holds up.
Frontend & Backend: Steer our TypeScript/React development for web and desktop, and our Go/Postgres backend.
Dataviz Engine: Drive the development of our browser-based data visualization engine (TypeScript) and its interaction interfaces—the heart of what makes Vizzlo, Vizzlo.
Integrations: Own the tech behind our third-party integrations: Google Slides (Google Apps Script) and Microsoft PowerPoint (VSTO and Office.js, C# and TypeScript/React).
DevOps & Ops: Run our CI/CD pipeline and deployment process, keep production healthy on Vercel and AWS (ECS, RDS, …), manage our Docker-based preview environments.
Keep Us Safe & Sound: Help ensure our data protection and security standards are met, keep the relevant docs and policies current, and manage technical risk sensibly.
Get Shit Done: Do whatever it takes to move the product forward—coordinate a release, hunt down a nasty bug, pair with an engineer, or jump on a customer's integration issue.

Excellent written and spoken English skills (a must); good German skills are a plus.
3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, plus at least some experience leading or mentoring a team—formally or informally.
Deep, practical knowledge of the technologies we use—at minimum TypeScript/React and Go.
Solid experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, and with modern DevOps and CI/CD practices.
Experience building third-party integrations and designing clean APIs.
Track record of shipping in a SaaS environment with continuous deployment.
A genuine interest in data visualization—and ideally some opinions about how it should be built.
Strong communication skills and commercial sense: you get that engineering decisions serve business priorities, not the other way around.
A bias for action: you'd rather ship something solid and iterate than architect in a vacuum for months.
Bonus: you've worked with Postgres at scale, built Office/Google add-ins, wrangled Vercel/ECS/RDS in production, or have strong feelings about bar charts vs. pie charts.

Full-time leadership position with a competitive remuneration package.
Equity participation (VSOP)—you share in what we build.
Start-up environment where your talents and motivation make a real, visible impact.
International team of highly motivated doers.
Fully remote position (within Germany), with ultra-nice offices in Leipzig (Plagwitz) for optional in-person collaboration.
