Full stack developer Jobs in Kempten

A bootstrapped, profitable SaaS company founded in 2020, building a cloud platform used by agencies to manage leads and applicants, including white-label client portals. With a lean, ambitious team of around 10 people and a flat hierarchy, the company operates with the speed and ownership culture of a true product startup, without the pressure of external investors or client project work.

The engineering team works on a modern MEVN stack (MongoDB, Express, Vue, Node.js), ships real product features, and has direct ownership over the work they build. For developers who want impact without bureaucracy, this is a standout opportunity.
