### About the Role This is a full-stack engineering role sitting at the intersection of product and AI, on a small, fast-moving team building intelligent customer support agents for B2B companies. You'll own features end-to-end — from architecture to production — and directly shape how AI-powered systems evolve to handle complex, technical support workflows at scale. ### What You'll Do - Design and implement full-stack product features across the entire codebase. - Build and improve AI capabilities, including LLM pipelines, agent logic, and prompt engineering. - Collaborate with the team to plan, design, and ship new features iteratively. - Help make internal processes AI-native by identifying and applying agentic tooling where it adds value. ### What We're Looking For - 1–4 years of experience in backend or AI engineering (new grads with strong fundamentals are welcome). - Proven track record shipping backend systems or AI features to production. - Hands-on experience integrating OpenAI models and engineering prompts for real-world tasks. - Experience designing end-to-end architectures and building AI-powered data or model pipelines. - Proficiency with **Next.js**, **React**, and **TypeScript** for full-stack development. - Familiarity with **Python** and **FastAPI** on the backend. - Experience with **PostgreSQL** and/or **Firestore (GCP)**. - Comfortable deploying and operating applications with **Docker** and **Kubernetes**. - Active, heavy user of AI coding agents (e.g., Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor) with genuine ideas or demonstrated improvements to your own agentic dev setup. - Personal hobby projects or self-directed exploration involving LLMs or related AI topics. ### Location On-site, 5 days a week in **Munich, Germany**. Visa sponsorship is available.
