YOUR JOB

AI can write code now. It can't decide what's worth building, and it can't tell whether its own output is right. That part is yours. As a Fullstack Software Engineer in our customer-facing feature team, you'll take on real problems, often co-leading an initiative with a fellow engineer. You'll carry them from the first discovery conversation to production and beyond, working with Product, Design and engineers who would rather own an outcome than close a ticket. What you build lands with many companies working to keep their data, and the people behind it, safe.

We protect the people behind the data

We are a fast-growing security and compliance tech company with a clear purpose: we protect the people behind the data. With over 200 team members worldwide and with offices in Munich, Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Vienna, we help more than 4,000 global customers get certified fast and build a strong and scalable risk posture. With AI-powered automation, self-serve capabilities, and additional tailored expert advice, we offer our customers a seamless security and compliance experience to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving security landscape and challenges like the surge in cyber-attacks.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Own what you build, end to end. Shape capabilities in discovery with your Product Owner and Designer, build them across frontend and backend, ship them to production, and make sure they work properly in customers' hands.

  • Help decide what gets built, not just how. Challenge assumptions, suggest alternatives, and help define requirements before anyone writes code.

  • Engineer with AI, responsibly. Use agentic workflows and AI tooling every day while you stay accountable for architecture, security and quality. You'll also help shape how our team builds with AI.

  • Build the new and improve the existing. Your time splits roughly evenly between new product capabilities and modernising an established codebase. Every area you touch should be better when you leave it.

  • Work beyond your team's walls. Spot dependencies with our other teams early, raise risks before they block delivery, and keep stakeholders informed.

  • Deliver as a team. Join four talented engineers who share ownership. You'll work in four-month terms with two-week sprints, keep rituals lean, and adjust scope when reality changes.

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

  • The freedom, trust, and tools to do what you love and make an impact in a purpose-driven company, committed to doing genuine good in the digital world

  • Enjoy a high degree of flexibility with tailored working hours, choice of work location, and benefits that support your lifestyle, health, and family needs

  • Join a secure, future-focused role in a dynamic scale-up positioned to make a major impact in the rapidly expanding Security & Compliance market

  • Grow along expert or leadership paths with support from employee accelerator programs, bi-annual feedback cycles, and a personal training budget

  • Work in an environment that values autonomy, rapid decision-making, a flat hierarchy, and collaborative, eye-level communication to keep things moving forward.

THE QUALITIES YOU'LL NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AT DATAGUARD

  • You think in problems, solutions and how to implement them properly to deliver value to customers, not tickets that should to be done.

  • You're a builder across the stack. You've shipped features on both frontend and backend. Your backend are Java, Node.js using typescript or a similar typed languages, a knowledge in ruby is a plus. Your frontend is a modern SPA framework: Vue is ideal and React works too. You don't need deep expertise in both, but you can deliver on each without help.

  • You treat Product and Design as partners. You've worked closely with Product Managers and Designers. You've disagreed with one, and the result was a better idea.

  • Ambiguity doesn't stop you. You don't wait for a perfect ticket. You ask the right questions, make a call, write it down and move forward.

  • You use AI seriously, but not blindly. You've built real workflows with AI tools and you know how to verify what they produce through reviews, tests and asking "is this actually right?" You don't vibe-code your way to production.

  • You fix what's broken, deliberately. You won't ignore an issue just because it sits outside your ticket. You also know which ones to fix now, which to flag for later, and which rabbit holes to stay out of.

  • You explain things clearly. You can describe a technical decision in plain English to a customer, a colleague from Sales or Support, or a fellow engineer. You've worked in more than one company or product and you bring what you learned.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS:
