ABOUT THE ROLE This is an early, high-ownership engineering role at a seed-stage AI logistics startup building tools that make freight forwarding operations autonomous. You'll join a small, technical team in Munich and have direct influence over product architecture, AI strategy, and the company's technical direction from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own and personally design, build, and maintain the most critical parts of the core product. - Ship reliable full-stack features that make users radically more efficient in their daily workflows. - Evaluate, benchmark, and fine-tune AI capabilities to maximise domain accuracy and contextual performance. - Continuously experiment with new model releases, frameworks, and agentic techniques in production. - Navigate and improve large-scale legacy codebases to add structure and scalability. - Engineer infrastructure and automation to support heavy data and AI workloads. - Collaborate closely with founders and teammates as a hands-on, high-ownership contributor. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Founder-level drive, extreme ownership, and a results-oriented, autonomous work style. - Around 2–3 years of professional experience, though strong personal projects or other track records are equally valued. - Strong full-stack engineering skills with the ability to move fluidly across backend and cloud environments. - Fluency in Python; familiarity with Go is a strong plus. - Practical AI/ML experience: benchmarking, fine-tuning, integrating LLMs, and running experiments in production. - Comfort engineering for scale, automating systems, and working with complex legacy codebases. - Strong CS fundamentals, intellectual humility, and exceptional self-discipline. - Prior startup or entrepreneurial experience is preferred; enthusiasm for on-site work in Munich is essential. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: €60,000 – €90,000 per year. Equity participation via options (up to ~1.5%) is available as an early team member. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
