For us GDPR (DSGVO) isnt a checkbox; its a core design constraint built into every single feature.

Tasks

End-to-End Feature Shipping: Own features completely from ambiguous founder input to live production. Translate documented user journeys into technical specs full-stack implementation and automated E2E coverage.

• AI Workflow Leadership: Set and maintain the teams engineering standards for working with coding agents (authoring CLAUDE AGENTS cursorrules) and configure MCP servers to maximize development leverage.
• Test Automation: Build and maintain production-grade Playwright suites covering critical journeys (AI-generated human-reviewed) to ensure a baseline of 100% journey coverage on revenue-critical flows.
