## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a founding Staff Engineer position at a seed-stage AI sales automation startup, where you will serve as the technical backbone of a small, fast-moving engineering team. You will own the highest-leverage systems across multiple products, set architectural direction, and raise the bar on quality, reliability, and AI capabilities. The role is deeply hands-on and carries outsized impact at an early stage.

##### What You'll Do

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

- Define and evolve architecture decisions that prevent long-term dead-ends across multiple products.

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

- Eliminate technical debt by refactoring abstractions and raising engineering and reliability 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 or more 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.

- Proficiency across the core stack: Python, React, and TypeScript.

- Cloud and DevOps fluency covering containerization (Docker), at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).

- Proven ownership of architecture decisions across multiple products or teams.

- Demonstrated improvements to production system performance, reliability, and scalability.

- Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical guidance through hands-on leadership.

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

- Willingness to work on-site in Munich in a high-intensity, 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**. This role requires full-time presence in the office.
