## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a founding-team engineering role at a construction technology AI startup, sitting at the intersection of engineering and customer success. You will own new AI automation use cases end-to-end, from discovery with enterprise stakeholders through production deployment, and have real influence over what gets built and how the company scales.

##### What You'll Do

- Own AI automation use cases end-to-end, from customer discovery through production deployment.

- Turn ambiguous enterprise customer problems into scoped, buildable solutions and ship them quickly.

- Build with modern applied AI including LLMs, agentic workflows, vision models, and embeddings.

- Design and implement data pipelines for document ingestion, extraction, validation, and orchestration.

- Identify recurring patterns across projects and codify them into reusable templates.

- Balance speed, accuracy, and pragmatism, keeping humans in the loop where appropriate.

- Travel to customer sites and work directly with German enterprise stakeholders.

- Help shape the technical direction of both product and company as an early hire.

##### What We're Looking For

- 2+ years of experience as a software engineer or data scientist building production systems.

- Hands-on experience deploying applied AI solutions (LLMs, agentic workflows, vision models, embeddings) in production.

- Strong CS fundamentals, from a degree or clearly equivalent formal grounding.

- Full-stack capability: backend API development in Node.js/TypeScript or Python, and frontend development in TypeScript/React or similar.

- Experience designing data pipelines for document processing, extraction, and validation workflows.

- Comfortable working with unstructured data (PDFs, images, documents), vector databases, and semantic search.

- Experience integrating multiple LLM providers (such as OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, or Cohere) and solid prompt engineering skills.

- B2B experience, ideally in a customer-facing technical role with direct enterprise engagement.

- Experience in an early-stage startup or founding team environment.

- C1-level German proficiency or above (required for enterprise customer interaction and on-site visits).

- Bonus: familiarity with domain ontologies, knowledge graphs, or construction industry workflows.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: 72,000 to 100,000 EUR annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

##### Location

On-site, 5 days per week in Berlin, Germany, with occasional travel to customer sites across the region.
