If he's working for a German firm now, it wouldn't be an NSA backdoor. Maybe the US isn't the only government with an eye on developing these exploits.

There is absolutely no basis for such an inference. It could have been a one off job, he could be undercover, etc. In fact if I were a clandestine organization I would definitely try to recruit people from other countries to make matters appear less obvious.

I think the intended implication is that he would be an agent for the NSA within that firm. Your second sentence stands however.
