About the Role

This is a hands-on, customer-embedded engineering role at a Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI platform startup. You'll work alongside an Enterprise AI Transformation Lead to scope, build, and ship production-grade AI agents and integrations directly within major DACH enterprise accounts — helping them become genuinely AI-native. The work you deliver on-site feeds directly back into the core product.

What You'll Do

  • Embed on-site with major DACH enterprise customers, running workshops, hackathons, and implementation sprints.

  • Scope, build, integrate, debug, and teach customer teams to adopt production agents and multi-step workflows end-to-end.

  • Ship high-leverage use cases including complex agents, custom integrations, MCP servers, and agentic workflows.

  • Partner with customer CTOs and platform teams as a technical peer and sparring partner.

  • Leave behind systems customers can own and operate independently.

  • Identify platform gaps and implement customer-driven product improvements directly with the engineering team.

  • Automate your own workflow by building agents that eliminate repetitive manual tasks.

  • Travel significantly across the DACH region as part of the role.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of engineering experience delivering production-grade software, ideally in enterprise environments.

  • Hands-on experience shipping agentic AI systems, tool-use loops, and LLM-powered features that operate reliably under load.

  • Strong full-stack engineering skills with the ability to scope and implement end-to-end solutions, including integrations with external enterprise systems.

  • Experience building custom integrations and MCP servers for agent deployment.

  • Proven ability to scope a complex customer use case in a live meeting and deliver end-to-end — fast and pragmatically.

  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Native-level German proficiency (required).

  • Based in Munich or willing to relocate, with comfort travelling extensively across DACH.

  • Founder or early-employee experience is a strong plus.

  • Experience with Go is a bonus, as is familiarity with AI coding tools for building and deploying agents.

  • High agency, strong ownership mindset, low ego.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: €80,000 – €150,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, with significant travel expected across the DACH region.
