About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI startup building autonomous agents that automate complex processes for industrial enterprises. You'll work across the full stack — from React frontends to cloud infrastructure to LLM-powered backends — with direct influence over both the product and the engineering culture being built from the ground up.
What You'll Do
-
Architect and ship end-to-end features, balancing near-term impact with long-term scalability.
-
Design agentic systems that use LLMs for reasoning, document extraction, and enterprise process automation.
-
Implement AI best practices to ensure autonomous agents operate with precision, security, and industrial-grade reliability.
-
Own the complete user journey — refining frontends, architecting backend logic, and managing cloud infrastructure as needed.
-
Build mission-critical, secure, and resilient AI solutions held to the highest standards for data integrity.
-
Proactively identify and resolve critical problems outside your immediate scope, from infrastructure bottlenecks to customer friction points.
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years building full-stack applications with Python backends and React frontends in production environments.
-
Practical production experience building and deploying LLM-based agentic systems or AI agents.
-
Strong proficiency with Python backend frameworks — FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy.
-
Production experience with TypeScript and React for building user interfaces for complex workflows.
-
Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks such as PydanticAI, Google ADK, LangGraph, or equivalent tools.
-
Experience designing mission-critical systems with high reliability, security, and data integrity requirements.
-
Comfortable shipping rapidly using AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Gemini) to increase velocity.
-
Experience with cloud infrastructure deployment and management for production applications.
-
Nice to have: Experience with LLM observability/evaluation tools, ERP or enterprise supply chain integrations, document extraction and unstructured data processing, or fluency in German.
