About the company
We're partnering with an early-stage AI product company that is building software at the intersection of AI, sales, and go-to-market operations. The company is less than 2 years old, generating upwards of €500k ARR from enterprise customers, and is now entering its next phase of growth.
The founding team has built strong commercial traction and a working product, but engineering capacity has become the key bottleneck. They are now hiring a Founding Engineer to work directly with the founder and help scale the platform.
This is a rare opportunity to join a very early-stage, revenue-generating startup as one of the first technical hires and play a central role in shaping the product, architecture, and future engineering team.
What you'll do
* Build and iterate on a user-facing AI product used by commercial teams
* Work directly with the founder on product and architecture decisions
* Develop across the full stack to deliver high-quality features quickly
* Improve system performance, stability, and scalability as usage grows
* Use modern AI tooling to accelerate development workflows
* Help lay the technical foundations for the future engineering team
Tech stack
* Modern web stack (Next.js / Node.js)
* Python services
* AI integrations via leading models and APIs
* Cloud-native infrastructure - Azure
