Overview
ABOUT THE ROLE
Full job description
ABOUT THE ROLE This is a first engineering hire at a deep-tech startup building graph-native infrastructure for narrative intelligence, serving media organisations, public-sector bodies, and corporations facing information-manipulation threats. You will take a research-grade prototype to production and, shortly after, build and lead the engineering team that grows alongside the product. WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the production architecture end-to-end: orchestrated data and NLP pipelines, AI/ML integrations, CI/CD, observability, and deployment options spanning cloud and on-premises environments.
- Drive the engineering roadmap, balancing speed, quality, and security requirements for enterprise and public-sector customers.
- Develop the first production slice hands-on and validate infrastructure and security design decisions directly.
- Hire, build, and manage a high-performing engineering team as the company scales.
- Set architecture direction, enforce engineering standards, and foster a healthy team culture as the technical leader.
- Collaborate closely with the founders and users in a fast-moving, tight-knit on-site team. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Strong Python skills with production-quality habits: automated testing, CI/CD, and observability including data and model drift monitoring.
- Proven experience building and operating data-intensive or NLP systems in production: ingestion, deduplication, entity resolution, async queue processing, and orchestrated pipelines (Dagster, Prefect, Airflow, Temporal, or similar).
- Solid experience with PostgreSQL and at least one of: graph databases, vector stores, or search engines.
- Comfortable with embeddings, vector search, and integrating language models while managing cost, versioning, and non-determinism.
- Able to work across the full stack when needed, including building clean APIs and functional analyst-facing UIs (React, Vue, or similar).
- Willing and eligible to obtain a security clearance.
- Prior experience at an early-stage startup.
- German language skills (spoken and written).
- Bonus: experience acquiring and ingesting discourse data from platforms and the open web at scale, with awareness of the legal and ethical constraints involved.
- Bonus: experience packaging systems for customer-hosted deployment (Docker, Kubernetes/Helm). COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary range: 60,000 to 120,000 EUR annually, depending on experience.
- Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
