Senior Fullstack Developer Go / Java & Vue / React (m/w/d) – AI & Automatisierung

About Us

ahead& is a specialized consulting and development boutique for AI engineering and automation. We develop productive AI systems that simplify, accelerate, and scale complex processes.

Our clients are leading companies from retail, fashion, and consumer goods. Many of our projects start from scratch: new architectures, services, UIs, and AI workflows emerge from business requirements. We don't build proof-of-concepts, but systems that are used in our clients' operational business.

Our team consists of experienced developers, AI engineers, designers, and consultants. We work with appreciation, pragmatism, and on an equal footing. Quality, clarity, and mutual trust are more important to us than hierarchies or titles.

Your Role

As a Senior Fullstack Developer, you will develop new customer solutions from the ground up and be responsible for the further development of existing platforms. You will contribute to architectural decisions, implement them yourself, and put modern technologies into productive use.

• Implementation of asynchronous architectures with queues, events, and workflows
• Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP and Azure, including Cloud Run and Kubernetes
• Ensuring code quality through tests, code reviews, and CI/CD
• Close collaboration with AI engineers, design, consulting, and the client

Must-have

• Several years of professional experience in fullstack development, ideally five years or more
• Very good knowledge of Go or Java in the backend

• Experience with embeddings or vector databases
• Interest in AI-driven product development and modern developer tools like Cursor

Training and Personal Development

• Targeted development in the areas of AI, LLMs, GenAI, automation, and data analysis
• Learning directly in projects on real systems instead of abstract training
• Team exchange on architecture, new tools, and best practices
• Room to try out new technologies and actively contribute them to projects

What We Offer You

• Demanding AI and automation projects with real technical depth
• Responsibility from idea to productive deployment
• 100 percent home office, location-independent within Germany

Why This Role Is Special

This position is not purely an implementation role. You will regularly build new systems, make architectural decisions, and bring modern AI technologies into productive customer environments. At the same time, you work completely remotely in a team that lives trust, quality, and self-responsibility.
