Über den Job
We're a highly specialized tech startup in the heart of Berlin — working on one of the most relevant challenges of our time: bringing AI where it has the greatest impact — into the German public sector. What we build isn't theory. It's live, in production, used by hundreds of thousands of people every day — and growing fast. As one of Germany's fastest-growing GovTech startups, something genuinely new happens here every single day. Hours fly by, weeks feel like months. A lot is happening. We've turned down VC offers. No politics, no theatre — just 100% customer focus. You'll work directly with the founders (ex-UN, ex-TR, PhDs, Studienstiftung, top-of-class) and be embedded in a small, excellent tech collective with experienced senior advisors. In short: maximum impact, minimum friction.
Deine Aufgaben
- Developing and improving frontend features for AI-powered products in complex public sector workflows
- Building and maintaining interfaces for voice and chat applications
- Integrating REST and other APIs into robust, production-ready frontend code
- Contributing to architecture decisions and UX improvements based on real user feedback
Was du mitbringst
- Genuine excitement about startups (corporate mindsets won't thrive here)
- Currently pursuing a Master's degree (Bachelor's already completed)
- Solid experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js
- Hands-on experience with API integrations
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development
Dein Reward
- Flexible hours
- A great central office right at Rosenthaler Platz
- Real ownership: your code ships to real users, fast
- Direct access to founders and senior engineers
- A genuine look inside one of Berlin's most interesting GovTech companies
