Company mission
To protect the European economy from cyber risks posed by professional hacker groups through cyber insurance and cyber security measures.
Role
Who you are
- 1-3 years of experience with full-stack development using TypeScript, React, and Node.js (NestJS preferred)
- Hands-on experience incorporating AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) into your daily workflow to boost productivity
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, modern CSS (Tailwind/CSS-in-JS), and asynchronous data handling
- Strong critical thinking skills - able to evaluate, validate, and refactor AI-generated code rather than taking output at face value
- English: business fluent required
- German: is a plus
Desirable
- Familiarity with Spec-Driven Development methodology and relevant frameworks/tooling (e.g., OpenSpec, Superpowers, or others)
- Familiarity with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Playwright) and using AI to expand test coverage
- Basic knowledge of containerization tools (e.g., Docker) and CI/CD concepts
What the job involves
- Develop full-stack features using React, Node.js (NestJS), and AI-augmented development workflows
- Practice Spec-Driven Development—translating business requirements, API specifications, and prompt contexts into clean, working code
- Leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to rapidly prototype, write boilerplate, and write test suites
- Practice Spec-Driven Development (SDD) to guide feature implementation and automated test generation
- Work closely with cross-functional team members (designers, product managers, senior engineers) in an agile environment
- Assist in building API integrations and maintaining backend/frontend system components
- Triage and debug issues in production using AI-assisted debugging and monitoring tools
- Participate in code reviews to ensure code generated manually or via AI meets security, performance, and style standards
Our take
Most businesses are aware that cybersecurity software must be used to protect themselves against cyberattacks, but few are aware of the sheer variety of attacks present in today's digital landscape. This makes it increasingly difficult for businesses to equip sufficient protection, resulting in worldwide cyber attacks in 2021 alone costing over $6T.
Baobab insures businesses for cyberattacks, using its team of cybersecurity experts to assess companies for risk, secure their business, and prevent financial loss. The company's approach to risk assessment not only protects companies against cyber threats themselves but also prevents them from having to spend time, money, and resources on evaluating their own cyber security stack.
Several other cybersecurity insurance companies seek to protect businesses from cyber threats, but Baobab has taken a unique approach by providing solutions for not just enterprises, but small businesses, too. By taking care of this end-to-end process, Baobab is preventing businesses from having to spend time and resources on dealing with cybersecurity themselves, leaving them with more time to scale.
