About the role
About the Role
This is a founding-level engineering role at a fast-moving AI startup building an intelligent platform for strategic procurement. You'll work across the full stack — frontend, backend, and LLM integrations — shipping sophisticated agent-powered features directly used by enterprise customers. Your work will define how AI and procurement professionals interact at scale.
What You'll Do
-
Build and ship full-stack features end-to-end, from UI through backend services to prompt workflows.
-
Prototype rapidly with LLMs and iterate based on real user feedback to refine product experiences.
-
Design and integrate agentic pipelines that make complex procurement intelligence feel simple and intuitive to users.
-
Translate signals from enterprise customers into well-scoped product experiences that land quickly.
-
Own prompt design, tuning, and LLM integration as a core part of the engineering work — not an afterthought.
-
Collaborate closely with the team in-person to move fast, make decisions, and build something exceptional.
What We're Looking For
-
1–10 years of professional software development experience; all levels considered — mindset and output matter most.
-
Strong proficiency in full-stack TypeScript across frontend and backend.
-
Demonstrated ability to work with LLMs: prompting, tuning, and integrating them into real products — shown through work, side projects, or hackathons.
-
Sharp product instincts and creative drive to build experiences users genuinely love.
-
High agency and outcome-oriented — you find a way forward without waiting for permission.
-
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.
-
Eligible to work in Germany without employer-sponsored visa sponsorship.
