Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiklas Lochschmidt is a Staff Software Engineer based in Frankfurt with 14 years of experience building full-stack, cloud-native products and developer tooling. He blends hands-on engineering in Kotlin, TypeScript and JVM ecosystems with infrastructure and DevSecOps practices to deliver reliable, testable systems and CI/CD pipelines. As an early technical hire at BRYTER he helped shape the platform architecture, shipped the core runtime and language, and scaled hiring and engineering practices during rapid growth. He contributes to notable open-source work such as improving http4k’s server implementation and testing utilities, showing attention to performance and testability. Colleagues describe him as team-oriented, fast-learning and pragmatic; he’s equally comfortable unblocking engineers through pairing or translating business models into non-functional architecture requirements.
