Software Engineer, Foundation

Department: Engineering

Location: Berlin

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a foundational engineering role on the platform team at a Series B EdTech company, working on the Flutter mobile app, agentic and AI infrastructure, and developer experience tooling. Your work multiplies across a team of 25+ engineers and ships to millions of students worldwide. If you care as much about how things are built as what gets built, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Own core parts of the Flutter mobile app, including shared components, the design system, state management, performance, and tooling.

• Build and maintain agentic and AI infrastructure — including MCP servers, a background agent platform, and evals and feedback loops.

• Help integrate agentic coding tooling into day-to-day engineering workflows across the team.

• Improve developer experience through CI/CD pipelines, release tooling, and faster code-to-production feedback loops.

• Ship user-facing product features alongside platform and infrastructure work.

• Keep the existing foundation reliable so engineers across the organisation can build on it with confidence.

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of production experience building mobile (Flutter/Dart) or web applications — deep platform-engineering tenure is not required.

• Daily, fluent use of agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, or similar), with a genuine point of view on where they work well and where they fall short.

• Strong academic background in computer science or a related field from a well-regarded university.

• An eye for design — you notice inconsistent spacing, an animation that feels slightly off, or a component that's close but not quite right.

• Clear written and spoken communication in English.

• A genuine preference for improving systems that slow other people down, even when your name won't appear on a shipped feature.

• Experience with Go services or backend development is a plus.
