Firstier — because a security platform is only as strong as the product experience that makes people actually use it.
You don't want to ship features into a void — you want to see managers roll out what you built before lunch. As Senior Full-Stack Engineer you build the interfaces and backend systems that make the Firstier Shield suite usable, fast, and reliable.
Firstier is in the company-building stage. There is no legacy codebase to untangle and no ticket factory: you ship production features across Shield Control, Shield Web, and the supporting API layers, working directly with the security and product leads.
What you'll own
- You ship production features across Shield Control, Shield Web, and supporting API layers.
- You own frontend and backend quality for admin workflows, policy configuration, audit views, and deployment tooling.
- You collaborate with security and product leads to turn enforcement logic into clean, trustworthy user experiences.
- You keep the platform fast and reliable — performance and polish are features, not afterthoughts.
- You help set the engineering culture: code review standards, tooling choices, and how quality is defined here.
What you bring
- You are a strong generalist engineer who ships polished product — frontend, backend, and infrastructure without friction.
- You care about UX quality in technical tools: an audit view nobody understands is a bug.
- You write TypeScript and modern React comfortably and can design the API behind the screen.
- You make pragmatic engineering decisions and document the why.
- You thrive with direct ownership and short feedback loops over process and ceremony.
What we offer
Work where you create leverage
Every role is remote-first with optional onsite collaboration in Munich — plus focused in-person team weeks for planning, customer work, and product decisions.
Direct founder access
You work with the founder office on strategy, tradeoffs, and speed. There are no layers between your work and the decisions that shape the company.
Real ownership
Lead roles here are not coordination jobs. You own outcomes, shape the roadmap, and influence how the company is built.
Top-tier equipment and AI tools budget
We fund the setup you need for serious work and expect the team to use the best tools available — understanding the category from the inside is part of the job.
Flexible travel support
We make room for customer visits, pilot support, and team sessions whenever they create real momentum.
A global operating posture
Firstier is built for teams working across markets, regulators, and time zones — from the middle of Europe, in your customers’ time zone.
The fastest way to make AI governance real is to make it usable — and that is precisely your craft. If you want your code to be the reason security teams trust a category-defining product, this is the stage to join.
