Job Description

About the Role

Join an early-stage team building AI-powered regulatory and product compliance software for manufacturers and retailers. As a Founding Product Engineer, you will work closely with the engineering team and users to turn product priorities into useful, shipped features.

What You'll Do

  • Turn the product roadmap into features that deliver measurable value to users.

  • Speak directly with users and use their needs to shape and refine product priorities.

  • Maintain, refactor, and scale the codebase as the product develops.

  • Use AI agents as a regular part of your software development workflow.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience shipping software products to end users.

  • Technical work experience or a strong academic background in computer science or a related field. The role is open to candidates across a broad experience range, from 0 to 10 or more years.

  • Strong product judgment, a user-focused and problem-oriented approach, and the ability to identify common needs across customers.

  • Fluency in German and English.

  • Experience with one or more of TypeScript, React, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Azure, or Google Cloud.

  • Early-stage startup, B2B SaaS, LegalTech, RegTech, or AI and machine learning experience is a plus.

  • An entrepreneurial approach and comfort working in a fast-moving environment.
