Kertos Intro

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer at Kertos - the European Champion for Compliance Automation - you'll play a key role in shaping our platform into a product of its own class. We turn compliance from a yearly fire drill into a continuous, low-friction product experience.

You'll build end-to-end product experiences - backend to UI - that help companies stay secure, prove trust, and move faster without sacrificing quality. In a cross-functional squad, you'll ship improvements weekly, shape product decisions, and directly influence how modern compliance is done across Europe.
