About the Role

This is a founding engineering position at an early-stage enterprise AI startup building automation tools that help teams offload repetitive, screen-based workflows to AI. You'll work closely with customers and the founding team to shape both product direction and core technical infrastructure — with real ownership from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Build and ship product features end-to-end for enterprise customers.

  • Design and implement data pipelines to convert and aggregate large volumes of video and other unstructured data into a data lake.

  • Integrate LLM and VLM pipelines into production product workflows.

  • Develop full-stack components using Python and FastAPI.

  • Collaborate directly with enterprise customers (including PE portfolio company teams) to map processes and identify automation opportunities.

  • Enable scalable integrations to support land-and-expand customer strategies.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience building and shipping production systems.

  • Hands-on experience building production-ready RESTful APIs with FastAPI in scalable systems — this is a must.

  • Proven experience integrating, fine-tuning, and deploying LLMs and/or VLMs in production pipelines.

  • Strong Python proficiency for production environments.

  • Experience designing and implementing data pipelines for large volumes of unstructured video data, including video processing and analytics workflows.

  • Prior early-stage startup experience with direct involvement in product and technical decisions.

  • Comfort working directly with enterprise customers to understand and solve process challenges.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, infrastructure, and deployment.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; thrives in small, cross-functional teams.

  • Bonus: experience with data lake architecture and scalable API design for customer integrations.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €80,000 – €120,000 per year

  • Equity: Meaningful founding-level equity

  • Visa sponsorship: Available

Location

On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
