About the Role
This is a founding Staff Engineer position at a seed-stage AI sales automation startup, where you will serve as the technical backbone of a small, fast-moving engineering team. You will own the highest-leverage systems across multiple products, set architectural direction, and raise the bar on quality, reliability, and AI capabilities. The role is deeply hands-on and carries outsized impact at an early stage.
What You'll Do
Own the most complex engineering work across core systems, shared frameworks, and critical infrastructure.
Define and evolve architecture decisions that prevent long-term dead-ends across multiple products.
Spend the majority of your time writing and shipping production code, leading by example.
Eliminate technical debt by refactoring abstractions and raising engineering and reliability standards.
Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and direct feedback to improve team output and reduce hidden risk.
Contribute to the architecture and implementation of AI capabilities, including LLM pipelines and data infrastructure.
What We're Looking For
8 or more years of software engineering experience with a track record of solving genuinely hard technical problems in production.
Deep full-stack expertise, with strong backend, API, and infrastructure skills; comfortable on the frontend when needed.
Proficiency across the core stack: Python, React, and TypeScript.
Cloud and DevOps fluency covering containerization (Docker), at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).
Proven ownership of architecture decisions across multiple products or teams.
Demonstrated improvements to production system performance, reliability, and scalability.
Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical guidance through hands-on leadership.
Experience building or integrating AI systems, LLMs, or large-scale data pipelines is a strong plus.
Willingness to work on-site in Munich in a high-intensity, startup environment.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: 80,000 to 130,000 EUR annually . Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany . This role requires full-time presence in the office.
