# Founding AI Engineer

- **Company:** Aleph Alpha
- **Location:** München, Germany
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Open Source Technology, TypeScript, ReactJS, Front End Software Development
- **Published:** September 3, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.careerjet.de/jobad/de03c53b65878340b5a1cfafb4a4e0d016

## About the Role

You reason from user pain to solution to measurable outcome, and you can sit across from a non-technical customer and understand how they actually work.
Since you own things end to end, that includes the frontend. That means being comfortable not only with the AI engineering side, but with TypeScript and React too.
You prototype fast and measure everything. You also care about reliability, because on a live construction project, wrong has consequences.
You're comfortable without a map. Most of these problems don't have answers yet, so you read papers, build prototypes, and compare approaches instead of waiting for a best practice to show up.
Level is open. We've watched new grads outrun staff engineers and the other way around. If you're exceptional, we'll build the scope around you.
Nice to have, not required: serious open-source work, an earlier stint as an early employee at a startup, real depth in document understanding or agent systems, or something you shipped that replaced hours of human labor.
We work in English. German helps for customer calls but isn't required. We have native speakers for that.
