Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Lead Web Engineer - **Company:** Genki - **Location:** Germany (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** €120,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Continuous Integration, Programming Tools, Github, Performance Tuning, Next.js, Web Application Security, Software Engineering, Strategies of Testing, TypeScript, Web Applications, Network Routers, ReactJS, Webpack, Deployment Automation, Cloudflare, Figma, Graphql, Programming Languages - **Published:** May 20, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=10e33160d282b223 ## About the Role Do you have experience in TypeScript?, * You've built and shipped production web applications end-to-end, from static sites to complex SPAs, and you know where the real problems hide in each. * You've made major architectural bets and stayed long enough to learn whether they were right. * Proven experience with cross-project infrastructure: shared component libraries, CI/CD pipelines, monorepo setups, deployment automation. * Strong understanding of web security, performance optimization, and browser capabilities. * You have a sharp eye for detail, from pixel-perfect implementation to clean, consistent code. * You use AI-agentic development tools daily (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and know how to steer them effectively, including when to trust the output. * You've set up and maintained CI/CD, testing strategies, and developer tooling for teams, not just yourself. ## Description We're hiring a Lead Web Engineer to own the technical direction of all our internal and public web projects: unify what's grown organically, and build the foundation for what comes next. You'll start as the sole web engineer, with the team growing around you over time. You'll work alongside two existing non-web developers, report directly to the CEO, and collaborate closely with our designer to shape what we build and how it looks. We need someone who builds carefully and ships fast, and sees no contradiction between the two. Someone who has seen enough production systems to know what matters (security, reliability, maintainability) and who uses AI agents to build better software, faster. Part of the job is also building a setup where team members from all departments can build software themselves, with standardized review, security, and deployment so that shipping stays safe as more people contribute. Show us what you've got. Send us a link to your GitHub profile, code samples, prompts, a vibe-coded job application, or whatever expresses your experience best!, * Languages & frameworks: TypeScript, React, React Router, Next.js (being phased out), SCSS Modules, Astro * Bundling: Vite * Design: Figma * AI-agentic development: Claude Code with custom plugin (open to exploring alternatives) * Infrastructure: Cloudflare, Railway * APIs: GraphQL Working style * You care deeply about user experience. You pay close attention to the details and take pride in getting them right. * You think in systems, not screens. You care about how projects share infrastructure, how deployments stay safe, and how other developers will understand what you built. * You're excited about enabling non-engineers to ship software and know how to make that safe through good tooling and guardrails. * You're comfortable making decisions when not all the information is there yet. * You thrive in a fully remote, async-first team and know how to communicate clearly without meetings for everything. * You're as open to different ideas, opinions, and to people with different cultures, backgrounds, and interests as we are. ## Related Videos - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Web development best practices in 2021](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/280-web-development-best-practices-in-2021) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [But, you're not Facebook](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/378-but-you-re-not-facebook) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss) - [Dev Digest 113 - Debugging above the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/422-dev-digest-113-debugging-above-the-cloud) - [Dev Digest 159: AI Pipelines, 10x Faster TypeScript, How to Interview](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/563-dev-digest-159-ai-pipelines-10x-faster-typescript-how-to-interview)
