Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Technical Co-Founder & CTO (PreSeed AI Recruiter for Skilled Trades) - **Company:** Founders Factory - **Location:** Berlin, Germany - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Software as a Service, Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, Backend, HR Software, Low Latency, Front End Software Development - **Published:** June 2, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=c4fa79abbc9f52b7 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Natural language processing?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Production agentic experience: You've shipped at least one agent-based product to real users. You can describe failure modes, eval pipelines, cost-control, latency, fallback logic in specifics, not buzzwords. * Full-stack reach: You're comfortable across backend, data, and at least light frontend. You are willing and able to build independently for the first 6-9 months, prioritising momentum and customer value over perfect architecture. * Integration grit: You have worked with messy real-world APIs and external systems, including government datasets, third-party SaaS platforms, HR systems, or fragmented enterprise tooling. * Voice and conversational AI literacy: You understand where meaningful product differentiation still exists and which parts are commodity (ASR, TTS, basic turn-taking). * DACH market understanding: You have lived or worked in the DACH region long enough to understand how Mittelstand businesses and Handwerk operators actually work. Professional English language proficiency is required. German language skills are strongly preferred. * Sound judgment on European data protection in AI systems: You have a clear point of view on building AI systems in Europe, including voice as biometric data, third-country transfer considerations when using US-based LLM providers, and candidate consent flows. * Founder mentality: You have founded something before, been an early engineering hire (#1-3), or consistently operated with ownership beyond your formal title. You are energised by ambiguity, speed, and building from first principles. Nice-to-Haves * Background in computational linguistics, NLP, or formal systems * Experience in recruitment, marketplaces, or two-sided platforms * Experience building against the WhatsApp Business API * Experience working in regulated industries or with KYC, identity verification, or document-verification workflows ## Description * Co-found a company with Founders Factory's team of IPO-exited founders and entrepreneurs to develop a category-defining materials platform. * Access to an expert team through our Venture Studio and 6-month accelerator programme. * Unlock €760k combined cash and hands-on support from our experienced team. * A validated concept with proven early results: our test site achieved a 7% conversion rate at a cost per acquisition 4x lower than previous benchmarks. * A dedicated studio budget (including the founder stipend, specialist resource and infrastructure budget). * Build with expert input from Vonovia, using their massive technical services division as a design partner and first customer. ## Related Videos - [Recruiting with Soul & Smarts](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1477-recruiting-with-soul-smarts) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [What if your HR software adapted to you, not the other way around?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100259-what-if-your-hr-software-adapted-to-you-not-the-other-way-around) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Get Your Stack Together: Building the Right Recruiting Tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1295-get-your-stack-together-building-the-right-recruiting-tech) - [Key HR Trends in 2024: Overcoming a Year of Emotional Disconnect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1271-key-hr-trends-in-2024-overcoming-a-year-of-emotional-disconnect) ## Related Articles - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Where to Find German Tech Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/366-where-to-find-german-tech-jobs) - [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) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Berlin](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/291-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-berlin) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
