About the Role

This is a high-ownership engineering role at a Y Combinator-backed AI startup automating inside sales workflows for distributors and manufacturers. You'll be the technical bridge between product and customer - taking deals from sales handoff all the way to live deployment, and feeding real-world signal back into the core product.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full technical implementation lifecycle from sales handoff through go-live.

  • Configure and fine-tune AI models for customer-specific use cases, including prompt engineering and model behavior adjustments.

  • Structure customer data and build system integrations with ERP platforms (e.g. SAP) and various REST/GraphQL APIs.

  • Develop prototypes to demonstrate new features or solve emerging customer problems, then evolve them into scalable solutions.

  • Engage daily with technical teams and senior business stakeholders to translate real pain points into engineering decisions.

  • Act as the voice of the customer internally, surfacing product gaps and patterns to the core engineering team.

What We're Looking For

  • Native fluency in German (required).

  • Strong full-stack engineering skills across Python, React, TypeScript, SQL, and API development - comfortable spanning frontend, backend, and data pipelines.

  • Experience with enterprise system integrations, including ERP systems and REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, or B2B SaaS implementations.

  • Practical experience with LLMs, agents, and prompt engineering, with the ability to adapt model behavior to specific domains.

  • Proven ability to work with messy, inconsistent real-world data and establish reliable structures quickly.

  • Customer-obsessed approach - thrives at the intersection of engineering, product, and live customer environments.

  • High agency: proactively identifies problems and drives solutions with minimal direction.

  • Strong communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Comfortable with ambiguity, legacy systems, and a scrappy, problem-solving mindset.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: €90,000 - €200,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Munich, Germany. Relocation to Munich is required.
