You'll spend most of your time deep in technical work: integrating our software into complex enterprise systems, structuring customer data for AI, and adapting models to fit real-world workflows. But you'll also engage directly with users and senior stakeholders daily - debugging their problems, understanding their processes, and walking C-level stakeholders through a prototype you built overnight. If you're a builder who gets energy from talking to customers and solving hard technical problems in messy, real-world environments - this role is for you., * Customer Implementation: Own the full technical implementation of our software after the sales handoff - from first kickoff to go-live. You are the person who makes it work. * AI Adaptation: Configure and finetune Mercura's AI for customer specific use cases - including prompt engineering and model behavior adjustments to match their domain and processes. * Data Structuring & System Integration: Bring customer data into shape and build customer system integrations (e.g., SAP, APIs) * Prototyping: Build prototypes that demonstrate new features or solve emerging customer problems and evolve them into scalable solutions * Customer Relationships: Engage daily with technical, senior business stakeholders and users at customer organizations. You translate their pain into engineering decisions - and back again. * Feedback Loop: Be the voice of the customer inside Mercura. Surface patterns, edge cases, and product gaps to the core engineering team with enough context to move fast., You will work with * Sean (Co-Founder & CTO; Silver Medallist at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)) * Kolya (prev. SWE at SF-based startup Etleap) * Ben (prev. AI Engineer at Aleph Alpha) * Gabriel (built Maastricht University's course selection system; Oxford graduate) * Admir (Bronze Medallist at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)) * Mark (prev. SWE at Capital One, Cambridge Graduate) * Nico (prev. Engineering at SaaS startups Luminovo & Fides) Your mentors will be * Rohan Ramanath (General Manager AI Product at Nubank, prev. co-founder Hyperplane) * Daniel Ribeiro Silva (Senior Director of ML at Nubank, prev. co-founder Hyperplane) ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) ## Related Articles - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
