[Hiring] Software Engineer @The Global Talent Co.

Role Description

You will join a company building the digital infrastructure for grant funding, helping organizations spend less time navigating funding logic, forms, and administration and more time on the projects and impact that matter.

The platform brings together:

• Research across 18,000+ funding programmes
• AI-supported analysis and application drafting
• Expert review
• Ongoing grant management

As a Software Engineer, you will help build the product across the backend, frontend, and AI pipeline at the core of the platform. You will work directly with the CTO, who already has one successful exit, and learn first-hand how modern software is built in a clean, fast, AI-native environment.

This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants real responsibility and a steep learning curve. You will start with close guidance and progressively take on more independent ownership, with a clear path toward a senior engineering role.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience or a recent graduate with strong projects
• Solid programming fundamentals
• Curiosity across the stack
• Strong desire to learn how production software is built
• User-first mindset
• AI-native approach to development

Requirements

• 1–3 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, or recent university graduation with strong technical projects
• What you have built matters more than simply the number of years of experience
• Solid fundamentals in TypeScript and/or JavaScript
• Curiosity and willingness to work across the full stack, including:
  • React
  • Node / Express
  • Postgres
  • AWS
• Strong desire to learn how production software is built and operated
• High self-motivation and the ability to dig into problems rather than wait for instructions
• Comfortable receiving feedback and using it to improve your technical skills
• AI-native approach to software development, with familiarity using tools such as Claude Code or Cursor
• User-first mindset, with a focus on building software that works for real people
• Strong curiosity, ownership, and willingness to take on increasing responsibility

Nice to Have

• First experience with AI tools or LLM APIs, including university or side projects
• German language skills at B1 level or above
• A side project, open-source contribution, or other work built independently

Growth Path

This role is designed as a springboard for your engineering career. You will start with significant mentoring and guidance from the CTO, then progressively move toward independent ownership of complete features and technical problems.

The goal is that, over time, you can ship independently, contribute to technical decisions, and take ownership of increasingly complex parts of the product, with a clear path toward a senior engineering role.

Benefits

• Direct mentoring from the CTO
• A steep learning curve across a modern technology stack, AI-native development, and real production systems
• Real production ownership from day one, with increasing responsibility over time
• Fully remote work is possible
• Competitive entry-level salary and participation in company success
• Clear development path toward a senior engineering role
• €2,000 annual professional development budget
• Opportunity to work on a scalable SaaS product with clear market demand and genuine social impact
• Short decision paths and direct collaboration with the leadership team
• Team events and optional workations
