Role Description This is a senior individual contributor role designed for someone who wants to grow into broader technical leadership. You will have meaningful ownership from day one. The team is deeply AI-forward. You will be provided with a Claude Code Pro account ($200/mo) and are expected to actively leverage AI-assisted workflows to maximize development velocity and decision-making. What you will work on (First 3 Months) - Zero-to-One Initiatives - Studio Partnership Program: Architect and ship the core MVP for this greenfield product. - Lead the end-to-end implementation including backend, analytics, and reliable instrumentation. - Sequence milestones to ensure the system is maintainable and ready for rapid post-launch iteration. - In-house Architecture Roadmap - Headless Platform Migration: Lead the transition from a legacy template-based hosting setup to a decoupled, in-house frontend. - Build the API integration layer between our existing backend infrastructure and our custom stack to unlock UI flexibility and performance. - Standardize event tracking and attribution across the ecosystem to ensure data-grounded product decisions. - Technical Operating Cadence - Establish a high-velocity release workflow using GitHub and environment-specific deployments. - Implement a triage rhythm and a “single source of truth” for technical priorities. - Build out observability and reliability standards to eliminate "flying blind" during shipments. Stack Context - AWS: Primary cloud infrastructure. - GitHub: Version control, CI/CD, and environment management. - Video Platform (Headless): Video and tutorial hosting via API. - Shopify: Commerce and storefront management. - Analytics: GA4, custom event tracking, and attribution dashboards. What you will own - Own technical planning and delivery across product initiatives (scope, sequence, tradeoffs, timelines). - Triage, prioritize, and resolve incoming technical issues with a calm, structured approach. - Partner with product/design to shape solutions that are maintainable and measurable. - Lead the buildout of new product initiatives (including standalone feature areas with backend + analytics). - Reduce legacy dependency and establish a clear path to a transition to custom solution. - Maintain and extend cloud infrastructure (AWS), including reliability, cost awareness, and performance. - Manage and improve deployment pipelines and workflows using GitHub (PR hygiene, environments, releases). - Set sensible engineering standards (logging, monitoring, testing expectations, documentation). - Improve analytics instrumentation. - Support and unblock other teams with clear technical communication (without becoming a helpdesk). Qualifications - Proven experience owning and driving technical delivery in a startup or small team environment. - Strong full-stack fundamentals and the ability to work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. - Strong JavaScript/TypeScript foundation and modern web development experience. - Experience integrating third-party services and APIs. - Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and production operations. - Strong GitHub workflow competence (branches, PRs, code reviews, CI/CD). - Strong communication skills in English (German is a plus). Nice-to-have Skills - Experience with templated / theme-based web platforms and migrations away from legacy customizations. - Experience with Shopify ecosystems and commerce integrations. - Familiarity with analytics tooling (e.g., GA, event tracking, product analytics, dashboards). - Experience introducing lightweight incident response routines (on-call not required, but discipline is). Working style & collaboration You’ll work closely with the CEO and the Content leadership. The expectation is that you become the person who brings clarity and forward motion: - “Here’s what we’ll do, what we won’t do, and why.” - “Here are the risks and how we de-risk them.” - “Here’s the plan and what we need from each function.” Benefits - High ownership and real leverage on product direction. - A mission-driven, international team. - A product with real users and strong brand pull. - Flexible working hours and pragmatic startup culture. - Room to shape the technical org and future hiring plan. Application Send CV + links (GitHub/portfolio/case studies) + a short note answering: - A system you inherited that was messy — what did you change in the first 60 days? - An example of a tough tradeoff you made between speed and quality. - What you’d look at first in our setup (multi-platform + growth + retention). Please apply through our application platform with your resume, a short note on why this role fits you, and links to relevant work (GitHub, portfolio, shipped products).
