## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a founding Staff Engineer position at a seed-stage AI SaaS startup automating quote and order processing for distributors and manufacturers. You will serve as the technical backbone of a small, fast-moving engineering team, owning high-leverage systems across multiple products and setting the technical standard for the entire organization.

##### What You'll Do

- Own the most complex and highest-leverage engineering work, including core systems, shared frameworks, and critical infrastructure.

- Define and evolve architecture decisions across products to prevent long-term technical dead-ends.

- Spend the majority of your time writing and shipping production code, leading by example.

- Eliminate technical debt by refactoring abstractions and raising reliability and engineering 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+ 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 (Python, React, TypeScript).

- Proven ownership of architecture across multiple products or teams, with demonstrated improvements to performance, reliability, and scalability.

- Cloud and DevOps fluency: containerization (Docker), major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).

- Hands-on technical leadership style, mentoring through doing rather than through management alone.

- Experience building or integrating AI systems, LLMs, or large-scale data pipelines is a strong plus.

- Comfortable working in a high-intensity, in-person 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**. In-person presence is required.
