Pinnipedia is a new Berlin startup building a cloud platform that automates and assists the creation of audit-ready IT-security concepts (e.g. BSI-Grundschutz C5). Were IGP-funded (2025/26) and co-develop with FU Berlin and pilot users from industry and security consulting.
Were hiring a Full-Stack Engineer (Python) to build our multi-tenant SaaS: secure services & APIs a pragmatic web app auth/RBAC audit logging and CI/CD with quality gates. Youll own features end-to-end (design code tests deploy observe) and work closely with our Product Owner and AI Engineer.
Tasks
Backend & APIs (60%)
- Design and implement Python services (FastAPI/Django) REST/JSON (OpenAPI) background jobs.
- Model data and write performant SQL (PostgreSQL); maintain migrations.
- Add tests (pytest) logging/metrics and sensible error handling.
Frontend & integration (1520%)
- Build/extend a modest UI (React/Vue or server-rendered) for admin workflows.
- Integrate authentication/authorization (OIDC/OAuth2) file handling and external APIs.
Platform quality & security (1520%)
- Containerise (Docker) automate CI/CD (GitHub Actions) review PRs enforce code quality.
- Apply privacy/security by design (RBAC audit trails config secrets least privilege).
Collaboration (10%)
- Work from a clear backlog; estimate deliver and document changes; participate in sprint rituals.
Requirements
Must-have
- 4 years Python building production web backends/APIs.
- Strong SQL/PostgreSQL; testing with pytest; CI/CD and code reviews.
- Comfort with containers (Docker) and cloud deployment basics.
- Product mindset clean code and good documentation; English required (German nice-to-have).
Nice-to-have
- React/Vue or server-rendered UIs; OAuth/OIDC; event-driven patterns.
- Kubernetes/Terraform; observability (Prometheus/Grafana); security/audit logging.
Benefits
Hybrid full-time with flexible scheduling; occasional on-site days near Berlin/Brandenburg (Ketzin/Havel).
Competitive salary: 60.00085.000 base (higher possible for exceptional seniors).
Small focused team; direct collaboration with the Product Owner AI Engineer and partners.
Modern tooling ownership and a learning budget for relevant training/certs.
Impact: help SMEs meet rising security requirements with less friction.
Apply on JOIN with your CV (PDF) and a short note (max 200 words) on how youd structure service boundaries logging and metrics for a new FastAPI service.
Process: 20-min intro 90-min practical (coding system design) 45-min team chat references. We review applications within 5 business days.
