Your work turns that support into something people actually use to reflect, learn, and act.\nMeet our AI Coach in action - and see how Sharpist empowers leaders and talents to grow every day:\nThe Role\nYou’ll take ownership of product features from problem to production.\nThat means understanding the user and business need, exploring possible solutions, writing a clear technical specification, implementing the feature, releasing it, and learning from how people use it.\nYou won’t simply receive finished tickets and build exactly what is written. You’ll be expected to ask good questions, identify edge cases, make pragmatic trade-offs, and help shape the right solution with Design and Engineering.\nWe’re working toward a one-week cycle, although we’re not there yet. For now, we’d rather ship a useful first version at roughly 70%, learn from real usage, and improve it than spend too long polishing something in private.\nLLMs now handle a growing share of implementation. You should use them as part of your everyday workflow-for exploration, specifications, prototyping, and coding. At the same time, you need the judgment to recognise when generated code, an abstraction, or a data model is wrong or likely to create problems in production.\nWhat you’ll do\nFirst 30 days\nLearn the Sharpist product, including the AI Coach, coaching platform, and learner journey\n\nUnderstand our architecture, development workflow, and ways of working\n\nPair with engineers and cross-functional colleagues to understand how we take ideas into production\n\nShip your first improvements to the product\n\nFirst quarter\nOwn your first feature end-to-end: understand the problem, shape the solution, write the technical specification, build and release it\n\nWork closely with Product and Design to turn customer and user insight into a focused product experience\n\nUse LLMs as a core part of your workflow while validating their output for correctness, maintainability, security, and performance\n\nContribute across the stack, including frontend, backend, data, testing, and deployment where needed\n\nTalk to users and stakeholders when direct context will help you make better decisions\nYear one\n\nOwn multiple product features from discovery through measurement and iteration\n\nBecome a reliable technical owner for a meaningful part of the product\n\nHelp improve engineering quality through better tests, observability, documentation, and development practices\n\nContribute ideas that make it easier for the team to ship valuable software quickly and safely\n\nThe Stack\nTypeScript, React, React Native, Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Google Cloud, BigQuery, Google Dataform, Lightdash, Prometheus, Grafana.\nYou don’t need experience with every technology listed. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals, the ability to learn quickly, and the judgment to choose appropriate solutions.\nRequirements\nMust-haves:\n6+ years of professional software engineering experience.\n\nYou think like a Product Engineer: you’ve owned full feature development, including defining the solution rather than only building what someone else specified\n\nYou can write a clear, technically grounded specification, and you know what makes one bad\n\nYou have strong intuition for UX: you notice what confuses users, what creates friction, and what feels right\n\nYou use AI and LLM tools as a core part of how you work across specifications, prototyping, and implementation, not as a gimmick. Self-directed experiments and side projects count as evidence\n\nYou speak and write fluent English\n\nValid work permit in Germany\n\nNice to have:\nExperience building AI or LLM product features, including prompting, evaluation, or guardrails\n\nExperience working in a Startup, B2B SaaS or HR tech environment\n\nWhat We Value\nOwnership: When ownership is unclear, you step forward. When you're blocked, you find a solution; you don't shift the problem up\n\nClarity: You write specs that don't need a meeting to explain\n\nJudgment: You know when something is technically sound vs. technically plausible-but-painful\n\nSpeed: You move fast without creating rework for others\n\nMission belief: You genuinely care about helping people. That's why you're here\n\nWhat We Offer\nUnlimited Coaching: Access certified coaches to support your personal and professional growth whenever you need it.\n\nHybrid working model: Enjoy the flexibility to work both remotely and on-site.\n\nGrowth Budget: 1000 EUR per year dedicated budget for courses, workshops, and certifications.\n\nPension Scheme (bAV): Attractive retirement savings program.\n\nQuarterly Magnetic Week: Connect with your colleagues at exciting events that inspire and excite.\n\nThe \"Builder\" Environment: A culture that values shipping, learning, and outcome over output.\n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and we encourage people of every ethnic background, gender, ability, and sexual orientation to apply.\nCurious what life at Sharpist looks like? Check outhere - from Tuesday BBQs to Thursday breakfast, it's all part of what makes our team so special!\nApply now if this captures your interest and you want to take part in the personalisation of learning for every employee worldwide.
