(Senior) Software Engineer (all genders) - #2779572

Our mission

We're on a mission to create 10 million human firewalls! At revel8, we redefine cybersecurity training with hyper-realistic simulations that reflect today's evolving attack landscape. Our innovative platform combines AI-driven multi-channel attacks with gamified, real-time learning to build resilience where it matters most: the people.

Your mission

AI has changed how software gets built. Code is faster to write than ever, which makes good judgment crucial: deciding what to build, designing systems that last, and knowing when AI output is good enough and when it isn’t.

At revel8, you’ll own entire products, from understanding what customers need to deciding where the product should go, how it’s built, and how it runs at scale. You’ll help shape how a growing team builds software in an AI-native way, set the standards for quality and security, and help our junior engineers grow into strong problem owners.

With around 60 people in one office, your decisions have real and immediate impact, on the product, the platform, and the engineering culture. Our junior engineers own customer problems; as a senior, you own the products those problems live in.

What Your Day-to-day Will Look Like

• Owning products: You take ownership of a full product or product area. You work directly with customers, Go To Market, and Customer Success to understand their needs, shape the roadmap, and make sure the product keeps delivering value as it grows.
• Shaping the architecture: You lead technical design discussions, tackle structural challenges, and help the team make well-reasoned decisions about how the platform evolves.
• Setting the bar for AI-assisted engineering: We embrace AI tools, but they’re not our only way to solve problems. You help define how we use them well: where they speed us up, where they need guardrails, and how we keep quality and security high when more code is written faster.
• Owning quality and reliability: You set a high bar in code reviews for both human and AI-generated code, and take ownership of monitoring, stability, and performance of the systems you build. In cybersecurity, that matters.
• Guiding the next generation: Junior engineers today start their careers in a world where AI writes much of the code. You help them build what AI can’t give them: solid fundamentals, good judgment, and the confidence to own real problems. Through pairing, reviews, and everyday conversations, you show them how to use AI well, when to question it, and how to think like an engineer.
  
  

Is it you we are looking for?

You...

• Bring several years of professional experience in software engineering, with a strong track record of shipping and running features in a backend-heavy environment.
• Have taken ownership beyond individual features, for example a product, a major system, or a product area, and care about its success as much as its code.
• Use AI coding tools in your daily work and have a clear view of their strengths and limits.
• Communicate clearly with non-engineers about technical trade-offs and timelines.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and break down complex problems independently.
• Enjoy helping others grow and want to shape the engineering culture of an early-stage company.

About Us

revel8 is building the next generation of cybersecurity awareness for the age of GenAI. We help organizations protect themselves against modern social engineering attacks by turning their employees into an active line of defense.

It's been a fast ride so far: Founded in August 2024 by Tom and Julius, we moved to the Merantix Campus in Berlin and welcomed Robert as our CTO and co-founder shortly after. We landed our first enterprise customer in March 2025, raised our €5.1M seed round in September 2025, and moved the whole team back to Munich in February 2026. Today, we are around 60 revels working side by side in our new office every day.

Early days. Big mission. Come build it with us!
