# Senior/Staff Product Engineer (m/f/x)

**Cortea AI** · Berlin

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/cortea/ed1e5c71-e45d-4a38-b850-cefe21e42273

## About the role

### About us

We’re **Cortea**, a Berlin startup **transforming audits with AI**. Manual, document-heavy audits waste expert time while demand keeps rising. Our **AI-powered software and specialized AI agents** remove the repetitive work so auditors can focus on judgment.

Backed by top-tier VCs with >15m funding, with a working product and paying customers, we’re rapidly scaling.

We value **first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness**. We build side by side **in our Berlin office**.

#### Your Role

We're looking for an **experienced engineer who's happy anywhere in the stack** and turns complex audit workflows into product auditors rely on every day. You pick up whatever a problem needs, from the data model to the interface to the agents behind it.

A lot of what we build has no reference implementation. You're **comfortable wading into something nobody has solved yet** and shipping a first version that actually works.

Our engineering team is a **small, flat group of builders**: strong ICs who open a laptop when they see a problem instead of scheduling a meeting. Everyone owns real product and architecture decisions, and that's exactly what we want more of.

#### What you'll do

- Build the interfaces auditors work in, partnering with design to turn complex flows into something that feels effortless

- Build and improve the agents at the core of the product, plus the harnesses and eval pipelines around them

- Make the long-running workflows behind the product reliable and debuggable, so failures surface fast instead of silently

- Use AI heavily in your own workflow to move faster, without ever shipping output you can't stand behind

- Drive the how in RFCs and technical discussions with other engineers, and partner with product on the what

#### Qualifications

You'll fit here if you:

- Have 5+ years shipping production web applications across the stack

- Write production APIs and model the data behind them so it holds up under multi-tenancy and load

- Are strong on the frontend and can build genuinely complex UI

- Get how LLM agents actually work: agents, harnesses, tool use, and measuring quality with evals

- Keep up with where AI is moving and bring the latest tools into how you work to make yourself faster

- Bring a strong product mindset and real ownership of outcomes

- Make architectural decisions, weigh trade-offs, and build things other engineers can extend

- Are comfortable with ambiguity and work things out from fundamentals when there's no established answerNice-to-haves that are a plus:

- Hands-on experience building agents, harnesses, or eval pipelines

- Data-dense or workflow-heavy B2B products

- Scaling multi-tenant systems as data and traffic grow

- Audit, finance, compliance, or another domain where being wrong is expensive

- Early-stage startup or fast-moving engineering environment**No one checks every box. If you ship across frontend, backend, and data and own what you build, let's talk.**

#### Our tech

- React, TS, Tailwind, TanStack

- Python, Postgres, Temporal, Kafka, Redis

- GCP, Azure, k8s

- GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion

### What We Offer

- High impact & growth: Front-row seat to scaling an AI startup with real ownership from day one

- Mission-driven culture: First-principles thinking, bold ideas, and a supportive team

- Attractive compensation: competitive salary + meaningful equity

- Personal development: Learning budget for courses and conferences

- True Berlin startup environment: Central Berlin office, team lunches, retreats, flexible vacation

### Interview process

- First Call — Intro to Cortea with our Founders Associate Liza

- Second Call — Technical interview with our Member of Technical Staff Jendrik

- Third Call — Deep dive into our culture with our Co-Founder Philipp

- On-site Half-Day (Berlin) — Meet the team and work on a real problem together
