Job Description

About the Role

This is a founding product role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building software and AI-powered back-office tools for trades and home services businesses in Germany. You will own product direction end-to-end, working directly with engineering in a small, fast-moving team where your decisions have immediate, visible impact.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full product lifecycle, from understanding user problems to shipping solutions.

  • Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs.

  • Scope, design, and ship features in close collaboration with engineering.

  • Make confident product decisions under uncertainty and course-correct quickly.

  • Build a deep understanding of users, their workflows, and real-world constraints.

  • Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what done looks like.

  • Help shape how product work scales as the company grows.

  • Operate in a high-velocity, low-ceremony environment with fast feedback loops and few meetings.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven end-to-end product ownership experience in fast-paced, early-stage environments.

  • Strong technical understanding with the ability to reason about systems and engineering constraints.

  • Experience applying AI-first product patterns and using AI tools in product development.

  • Background building products for crafts, trades, or home services SMBs is a strong plus.

  • Good product taste with a clear opinion on what makes a product great, including UX and UI details.

  • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and iterating quickly.

  • High agency: you take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for direction.

  • Fluent German (spoken and written) is required for the product interface and partner communications.

  • Fluent English is required for internal communication.

  • Side projects or personal builds are a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: 80,000 to 100,000 EUR annually.

  • Visa sponsorship: Not available.

Location

On-site, five days a week in Berlin-Mitte, Berlin, Germany.
