Founding FrontEnd Engineer to $3750

Founding Backend Engineer
 

This is the beating heart of wring.co. If this seat is empty:

  • We can’t ship product at the speed early customers expect.
  • There is no technical owner to set the bar for code quality, reliability, and velocity.
  • We won’t have the foundation of a culture that values both rigorous engineering and pragmatic execution.
     

This role is the difference between a promising idea and a real business.
 

The Kind of Person We’re Not Looking For

Let’s be direct - if you:

  • Need pixel-perfect specs before you start exploring solutions.
  • Prefer polishing isolated components over solving real user problems.
  • Avoid customer conversations or don’t care about how your work feels to users.
  • Clock in at 9 and out at 5 without caring whether the mission moves forward.
     

This isn’t going to be a fit. We want someone who:

  • Obsessively thinks about users and their workflows.
  • Moves fast, iterates, and sweats the small details.
  • Has a startup mindset: bias for action, curiosity, and urgency.
     

Core Responsibilities
 

Own the FrontEnd Architecture

  • Architect, build, and maintain our web application.
  • Define design systems, component libraries, and frontend standards.

Lead Product Design und UX

  • Translate rough ideas into prototypes and production UI.
  • Run user research and usability testing to inform decisions.
  • Ensure every feature is intuitive, fast, and delightful to use.

Contribute to Engineering Culture

  • Mentor future frontend hires.
  • Shape processes for fast, reliable releases with excellent design quality.
     

Success Metrics
 

  • Fast, Reliable Shipping
    • Consistently deliver backend features and improvements on aggressive timelines - without compromising stability.
  • Clear, Usable Documentation
    • Create internal and customer-facing API docs that are always clear and up-to-date.
  • Technical Ownership
    • The backend is stable, performant, and evolves rapidly - because you own it.
       

Our Stack (So Far)

  • React (TypeScript) & Node.js (NestJS)
  • PostgreSQL
  • AWS 
     

This is not set in stone. You’ll have the mandate to evolve it.
 

Location & Flexibility

  • We are based in South Germany.
  • Hybrid or remote-friendly within CET ±3 hours.

 

Why Join Now?

  • We’re seeing strong demand from 40+ customers
  • Cloud cost optimization is a $10B+ problem waiting for better tools.
  • You will shape both product and culture from day one.
     

What We Value

  • Candor over politics.
  • Bias for action over endless planning.
  • Ownership over excuses.
     

Application Process

  • We keep it simple:
    • Intro conversation.
    • Technical deep dive.
    • Paid trial project (optional) to ensure mutual fit.
