Founding Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Munich

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a founding engineering position at a YC-backed enterprise AI startup building agents that automate the implementation, migration, and integration of complex enterprise systems. You'll join a small, tight-knit team where your decisions directly shape the architecture and set the standard for every engineer who follows. The work is technically serious — your software runs on production ERP and financial systems where reliability genuinely matters.

What You'll Do

• Design and build the agent core — planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data pipelines.

• Own full systems end to end: connectors, transformation engine, execution runtime, web app, SDK, and MCP server.

• Identify and tackle the highest-leverage engineering problem each week without waiting for a spec or ticket queue.

• Work directly with customers on technical implementations, translating real-world requirements into robust solutions.

• Establish engineering patterns and practices that the next ten hires will build on.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.

• Strong TypeScript proficiency with demonstrated experience building end-to-end applications.

• Proficiency in at least one additional language — Python, Go, or C.

• Experience designing critical infrastructure with sound judgment on reliability and scalability.

• Hands-on experience with enterprise systems — ERP, CRM, or data warehouse platforms (e.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar).

• Comfortable working directly with customers on technical implementations or escalations.

• Experience contributing to or maintaining open source projects.

• Background in data migration, ETL, or system integration is a strong plus.

• Strong CS fundamentals from a rigorous academic or self-taught background.

• Prior experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup environment is a plus.
