Job Description

About the Role

Join a small, fast-moving AI/ML team in a technical role focused on applying strong quantitative thinking to practical, ambiguous problems. This opportunity is suited to an experienced engineer or quantitative thinker who can contribute in a zero-to-one startup environment, whether or not data science has been their formal job title.

What You'll Do

  • Apply quantitative and engineering skills to develop practical data science and AI solutions.

  • Use agentic AI coding tools as part of your daily technical workflow.

  • Take ownership of work in an early-stage setting where problems and priorities can change quickly.

What We're Looking For

  • Five or more years of relevant technical experience, with an engineering or quantitative background such as AI, machine learning, software engineering, mathematics, or data science.

  • A quantitative degree from a highly selective university, a mathematics PhD, or equivalent depth of mathematical rigor.

  • Experience as an early startup hire, ideally among the first 15 employees, and the ability to work effectively in a zero-to-one environment.

  • Daily hands-on use of agentic AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent.

  • Strong practical problem-solving skills and comfort working with ambiguity. Prior retail or fresh-produce experience is not required.

  • Willingness to work in a high-intensity, always-on environment.

Compensation & Benefits

Annual salary range: €70,000 to €110,000. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

Hybrid role based in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be based in Berlin or willing to relocate.
