That’s what Dryft is here for.\nDryft builds models that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. We capture the knowledge of experienced operators across supply chain, production planning, engineering and more, simulate the consequences of their decisions, and use this understanding to help run their business. Our customers include some of the largest robotics, machine and component manufacturers in the world.\nWe’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world: cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM and TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and people who have built everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.\nWhat matters more to us than credentials is how people work: humility, hard work, speed, kindness, deep customer care, and a willingness to take on problems others avoid. Working at Dryft is hard. You get unusual ownership early on, with real responsibility. But that’s also what makes it one of the biggest learning experiences of your life.\nWe’re backed by founders and operators behind some of the most legendary tech companies of our time, Tier-1 U.S. venture firms, and board members of global industrial companies.\nERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is building the intelligence layer that will power the next.\nTHE ROLE\nThis is the most entrepreneurial and founder-like role we have at Dryft. As a Deployment Lead, you'll face questions you've never heard before, processes you've never seen, and customers who expected answers yesterday. One day you're with C-level executives, the next with shop-floor users trying AI for the first time, and in between you're building prototypes. Your goal is to find the solution that creates the most value, get it running, and make Dryft indispensable.\nLead deployments end-to-end - carry our customers from the first executive workshop to production use across their plants, with C-level execs, operators and IT\n\nShape the product - work daily with users, turn messy workflows into features, and collaborate closely with engineering to push the roadmap forward\n\nBuild for scale - turn deployments into repeatable playbooks and product features, build and lead the deployment team, and grow into roles like CPO or COO\n\nThis isn't a role where you sit back and follow a process. You'll be in the trenches, under pressure, solving problems most people wouldn't touch. You sit between our customers, product and engineering, and what you bring back shapes where Dryft goes next.\nYOU\nFast-paced experience - 6+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as an ex-founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup\n\nTechnically fluent & AI-native - you're comfortable with data, APIs and integrations, and you enjoy experimenting with new AI tools (experience with Claude Code is a plus)\n\nIndustrial at heart - you've worked with manufacturing, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain, and you find these companies fascinating\n\nFounder DNA - you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and anticipate next priorities instead of waiting for direction\n\nProduct-minded - you listen to rants about ERP, nod wisely, and somehow turn them into product features that feel like magic\n\nCompetitive by nature - you have a track record of winning at something hard, and you're not done winning\n\nConfident communicator - you can calm an impatient exec, win over a skeptical IT leader, and still crack a joke in the middle of it\n\nDown-to-earth & relatable - you bond with shop-floor operators as easily as with boardroom execs, and you'll put on the safety shoes without being asked\n\nRelocation - you're ready to work onsite in Munich, with 30 to 50% travel","description_format":"text","description_chars":3918,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Process Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T02:41:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":335,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dryft-founding-deployment-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dryft-founding-deployment-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T00:50:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1118,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3882,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674551},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674551"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdryft-founding-deployment-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdryft-founding-deployment-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdryft-founding-deployment-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dryft-founding-deployment-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdryft-founding-deployment-lead"}]}
