We don't sell solutions before we understand problems. Every engagement starts with listening.
The CRA mandates cybersecurity governance for manufacturers. Kunnus automates the workflows — from SBOM to ENISA reporting.
Careers
We're a small team with big ambitions. If you're looking for ownership, variety, and real impact — not just a job description — read on.
Co-build Kunnus — our EU CRA compliance platform — while owning the Kubernetes infrastructure behind it. Next.js, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Hetzner. Full-time, remote-friendly, Stuttgart.
Speculative application
Write to us anyway. We're growing fast and hiring on a rolling basis — if you want to build Kunnus, EU CRA compliance, or our consulting stack with us, send a short email with something you're proud of (code, a repo, a system). The right role often only takes shape around the right person.
Send a speculative applicationWhat makes us tick
We're building Kunnus because we believe compliance doesn't have to be theater. Our values aren't slogans — they decide who we hire and how we make calls.
You shape what we build — no top-down roadmap, no micromanagement. If you have a better idea, we listen.
We grow slowly on purpose. Everyone here brings 5+ years of production experience and operates autonomously.
Tooling and libraries that aren't our core product go to the open source community. Your work builds your public reputation.
We run on European infrastructure (Hetzner, Scaleway), our data stays in Germany, and we build for the European compliance market.
Applying & working with us
Send a short email to jobs@think-ahead.tech with something you're proud of — code, a repo, a system you've built. No classic cover letter needed. We typically reply within a week and then walk you through two or three conversations that all dig into real problems from our stack.
Send a speculative application anyway to jobs@think-ahead.tech. In two or three sentences, tell us what you want to work on and attach something you're proud of — code, a repo, an architecture sketch. We keep matching profiles on file and reach out when a role opens up.
We're remote-friendly. That means you work where you're most productive but come into our Stuttgart office (Sophienstraße 32) one or two days per quarter for strategy, onboarding, and team events. German tax residency is required, since we hire via a German GmbH.
We're mainly hiring at senior level for Kunnus right now, but we've had working students in the past with strong open-source backgrounds. If you have a specific project you want to work on with us, write to jobs@think-ahead.tech anyway.
Direct collaboration with founders, co-ownership of product decisions, open-source work as part of your reputation, varied consulting exposure, flexible hours, equipment of your choice, annual learning budget, and no bullshit reporting. Specific salaries we discuss individually based on experience and market level.
We communicate internally in German and English. Code, commit messages, architecture documentation, and pull requests are in English. With clients we speak German or English depending on location. You should be fluent in both.
