Job description
Founding Engineer
Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for:
- Strong full-stack developer in TypeScript (Next.js) and asynchronous Python (FastAPI).
- Hands-on creator who has shipped production-grade LLM orchestration or data-heavy ML systems.
- Pragmatic builder who excels at zero-to-one architecture and rapid deployment.
- Security-minded engineer who bakes robust data safety into early-stage code.
- AI-first developer leveraging modern tools like Cursor and Claude Code.
Culture
A cozy, high-trust, fast-moving, and collaborative environment. The team is not politically correct (often saying things left-wing liberals might find offensive) and values curious, execution-heavy, and AI-first product development in a hybrid Berlin setup.
What you get
- Generous equity options (VSOP) to reward a true founder mindset.
- Hybrid setup in Berlin within a cozy, high-trust, and collaborative team.
- Deep technical autonomy with no legacy baggage or corporate red tape.
- Direct backing and resources from Tier 1 AI investor Merantix Capital.

A quick note
This probably isn't for you if:
- You prefer highly structured corporate processes, rigid definitions of duty, or slow-moving environments.
- You prefer politically correct, consensus-driven cultures; our team is direct, fast-moving, and often says things left-wing liberals might find offensive.
- You prefer optimizing existing enterprise systems rather than building zero-to-one architecture under tight timelines.
