Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Taiga)
Location: Helsinki, Finland - hybrid flexibility
Compensation: €90,000 - €120,000 + 0,5% equity
Stage: Seed-funded · Founding engineering team
The Opportunity
AI agents are about to write most enterprise software. But who decides what they're allowed to build?
We’re building the solution - a system where AI builds the software itself - but within enterprise constraints: security, compliance, architecture, and auditability. Rethinking how software gets built in the AI era changes how enterprises develop software globally.
Taiga is a policy-aware platform for autonomous software development. We take a conversation and turn it into a structured, compliant specification. Then AI agent swarms execute it into real software.
This is when the magic happens:
Policies become executable
Specs become machine-readable
Code becomes traceable and auditable
We're a Finnish company, seed-funded, with a working product and a CTO who built the first version solo. Now we're hiring the founding engineering team.
You would be one of the first engineers defining how this actually works.
This is your opportunity to create the magic.
What You'll Build
You'll work across the entire product surface - frontend, backend, database, and everything in between. On a small founding team, you go where the highest-impact work is.
More importantly, you are helping to define how:
AI agents interact with real codebases
Enterprise constraints become executable logic
Teams collaborate with AI to build software
In your first months, you’ll work across the core system - from product experience to architecture - including things like:
Designing how users interact with AI to define, refine, and govern software specifications
Building the policy engine that enforces enterprise rules on generated code
Creating collaboration workflows for reviewing, approving, and iterating with AI
Shaping the data architecture to support multi-tenant, auditable systems
Developing APIs and interfaces that AI agents use to read, write, and report back
Working directly with the CTO to shape architecture and make decisions that will define the system
Setting frontend and backend patterns for the codebase
Ensuring performance, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and enterprise-grade UX
Tech Stack
Frontend: React 19 · TypeScript · Vite · shadcn/ui · Tailwind CSS
Backend: Node.js · Fastify · TypeScript
Database: PostgreSQL · Drizzle ORM · Row-Level Security
Infra: AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront) · Terraform
AI: Amazon Bedrock · Claude · Python agents (you'll integrate with these)
Tooling: Monorepo (Turborepo + pnpm) · GitHub Actions · Docker
What we’re looking for
Must-haves
You’ve spent 5+ years building production web applications (TypeScript)
You’re genuinely full-stack - you're comfortable owning a React component, a Fastify route, and a database migration in the same day
You understand PostgreSQL beyond basics - schema design, performance, and data integrity matter to you
You take ownership end-to-end - from user interaction to deployment
You have opinions about architecture and code quality - and can explain why
Strong advantages
Experience building multi-tenant SaaS with data isolation
Experience with real-time interfaces (SSE, WebSocket, streaming)
An eye for design — you can make a data-rich interface feel clean and trustworthy
Experience building editor-like or structured-form interfaces
AWS experience (ECS, RDS, IAM)
Interest in AI/LLM systems — you'll work closely with AI agents even if you don't build them directly
You've worked at an early-stage startup before and thrived in it
More than anything, we care about how you operate. You don’t wait for perfect specs - you move forward, figure things out, and take initiative without needing to be told what to do. You’re comfortable working in ambiguity, adapting as things change, and you care about building the right thing.
Reality check
This is a founding team role with real impact - and trade-offs.
You’ll shape the architecture, culture, and technical direction of the company from the ground up, working closely with a CTO who built the system end-to-end. The product is genuinely novel - not another CRUD app or dashboard - and the codebase already exists (~70K LOC TypeScript), so you’re not starting from zero.
At the same time, this is a seed-stage company. Things are ambiguous, priorities will evolve, and you’ll often operate across the stack and outside your comfort zone. We’re building for enterprise customers, so the quality bar is high from day one - and there are no support layers yet.
The team is based in Helsinki (Maria 01) and works mostly from the office, so ideally you’d be open to spending most of your time onsite as well.
Want to be part of defining how software gets built in the AI era?
We’d love to hear from you!
Applications to this role will be reviewed continuously, and the position will be filled as soon as the right candidate is found. To apply, please send your CV or LinkedIn profile (no cover letter needed!) latest 03.05.2026.
