Stellenbeschreibung

Staff Engineer (m/f/d)

Peter Park System GmbH is seeking a Staff Engineer (m/f/d) to join their Office of the CTO (OCTO). This is a unique opportunity to bootstrap new product lines, unblock critical projects, and tackle high-impact technical debt. You will report directly to the CTO and operate with significant autonomy.

About the Role

This is not a traditional Staff Engineer position. You will be instrumental in:

Bootstrapping New Bets from Zero to One

  • Act as the founding technical lead for net-new initiatives.
  • Translate strategic vision into technical architecture.
  • Build the first working version and hand it off to a dedicated team.
  • Own the entire early-stage lifecycle from proof-of-concept to production-ready MVP.

Unblocking Mission-Critical Projects

  • Embed short-term in at-risk teams to diagnose issues and drive execution.
  • Stabilize situations and leave teams stronger.

Tackling High-Impact Opportunistic Work

  • Address cross-functional technical debt, customer escalations, and internal tooling improvements during downtime.

Building & Leading Small Teams (When Needed)

  • Hire and manage small teams (1-3 engineers) for scaling initiatives.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership, mentorship, and delegation.

Operating with Radical Autonomy

  • Meet weekly with the CTO for agenda-driven sessions.
  • Own priorities, execution, and impact with minimal oversight.
  • Proactively identify needs and align with stakeholders.

Translating Technical Decisions into Business Outcomes

  • Articulate the business impact (ARR, margin, velocity) of your work.
  • Write clear RFCs and communicate trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Proven Zero-to-One Track Record: Experience building and shipping systems from scratch.
  • High-Pressure Technical Leadership: Experience as the senior engineer during technical crises.
  • Backend-Heavy or Full-Stack Depth: Strong backend skills (Python, Node.js/NestJS, TypeScript) with experience in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and AWS. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD (GitLab), and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • First-Principles Thinking: Ability to understand system design and when to deviate from norms.
  • Entrepreneurial Ownership & Self-Direction: Founder mentality, focus on business impact, and ability to prioritize and execute with minimal oversight. Understanding of Peter Park's strategic pillars.
  • Communication Without Gatekeeping: Clear technical writing (RFCs, documentation) and ability to explain complex topics to diverse audiences. Mentorship and openness to feedback.
  • Cultural Fit: Alignment with Peter Park values (performance, fairness, transparency).
  • Excellent English communication (C1+). German proficiency is a plus.

Technologies We Work With

  • Event-driven backend: Python, NestJS (Microservice architecture)
  • Frontend: Vue.js, TypeScript, Turbo, pnpm, Storybook

What We Offer

  • Flexibility: Flexible working hours, hybrid model (3 days office/2 days remote).
  • Compensation: Competitive salary and a solid company pension plan.
  • Perks: Daily meal allowance, weekly team lunch, stocked cereal bar, complimentary drinks.
