About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI and logistics technology team as a Founding Engineer. You will combine customer discovery with hands-on full-stack engineering to turn AI agent demos into reliable, production-ready tools for freight operations, while helping shape product and technical direction.

What You'll Do

* Lead customer conversations and translate operational insights into product features and technical strategy.

* Design and build full-stack applications and advance the product's AI capabilities.

* Move prototypes and demos toward scalable, high-quality production systems.

* Make pragmatic architecture decisions and help shape the product and engineering direction.

What We're Looking For

* At least 2 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production applications.

* Broad product-engineering experience across backend systems and user-facing applications, rather than a focus limited to one discipline.

* Hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, as well as Python backend development.

* Experience shipping customer-facing LLM features or agents in production, including LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning.

* Experience building and deploying scalable products from MVP to production, including moving beyond prototype or demo stages.

* Ability to lead customer conversations, turn feedback into product requirements, and make sensible early-stage architecture trade-offs.

* Experience in a startup or other early-stage environment; freight or logistics technology experience is relevant.

Compensation & Benefits

Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

Hybrid in Berlin, Germany. Candidates should be willing to work from Berlin or relocate there.
