Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer role at your team in Berlin. Five years across Berlin product startups and German offices of US tech companies have given me strong technical depth and the German-engineering rigor that DACH-region product work demands.

My current role at a Berlin SaaS startup has me owning the core platform service serving 50K SMB customers across DACH. I led the migration from AWS ECS to Kubernetes that cut platform cost by 22% and reduced p99 alerting noise by 60%. Earlier, at the Berlin office of a US tech company, I owned three microservices in the customer-data platform.

I have an EU work permit and am open to Berlin office or remote-DACH arrangements. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the role.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
[Your Name]
