Founding Engineer
Product · Full-time · Netherlands or EU-remote
Own the product end to end: the passport engine’s edges, the API surface, the resolver, the dashboard and the chat surface. Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and a CI gauntlet that keeps one platform telling one truth.
About Vikka
Vikka is the compliance infrastructure for EU Digital Product Passports. A live battery passport product serves Regulation 2023/1542 ahead of the February 2027 deadline; textiles and electronics are next. Deterministic engine, GS1-conformant resolver, published API, transparent pricing. AI assists; the engine decides.
What you will do
- Ship across the whole stack: passport creation and imports, the compliance endpoint, the GS1 Digital Link resolver, the public API.
- Extend the engine to new categories (textiles, electronics) without forking the data model: one engine, more rule sets.
- Own the quality gates: golden tests pinning the scoring, drift checks for schema, OpenAPI, i18n and design tokens.
- Work AI-natively: agents draft, you review and own what merges. The leverage is real and so is the accountability.
- Talk to customers directly. Support is not a department; it is how we find out what to build.
What you bring
- Senior full-stack TypeScript: you have owned production systems, not just features.
- A taste for boring technology and sharp architecture: swappable vendor seams, deterministic cores, no clever magic.
- Security instincts for multi-tenant B2B: org scoping, RLS, least privilege as reflexes, not chores.
- A shipping cadence you can prove, and comfort being one of the first employees.
- Working hours with substantial EU-time-zone overlap.
Nice to have
- Postgres and Supabase depth (RLS, migrations against a live schema).
- Exposure to GS1, EPCIS or other supply-chain standards.
- Experience with i18n or high-polish marketing surfaces.
