About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage enterprise AI startup based in Munich, Germany. The company builds AI-powered automation solutions that learn from real human workflows and take over repetitive, screen-based tasks — freeing teams across industries like professional services, insurance, financial services, and customer support to focus on higher-value work.
You'll join on-site as a core member of a very small, high-intensity founding team, with significant ownership and direct impact on product and technical direction. This role is ideal for a builder who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants to shape a product from the ground up.
Visa sponsorship is available.
