Senior Full Stack Engineer (f/m/d) - Berlin, Germany
As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Hygraph, you will work at the intersection of engineering and product to shape how users build with Hygraph, shipping features that solve real customer problems, contributing to the CMS core, extending platform capabilities, and helping bring AI-powered features to life. You will not wait for perfect specs or pixel-perfect designs: you will use your judgment, collaborate closely with PMs and customers, and move fast using modern AI-assisted development tools. The role is for someone who sees engineering as a team sport, takes ownership without waiting for permission, and thrives where initiative matters more than instructions.
