ABOUT THE ROLE

Full job description

ABOUT THE ROLE Join an early-stage AI infrastructure team as its first technical hire, turning a research-grade prototype into a reliable product for enterprise and public-sector users. You will shape the production platform, work hands-on across the stack, and grow into building and leading the engineering team. WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Design and own the production architecture, including data and NLP pipelines, AI/ML integrations, CI/CD, observability, and cloud or on-premises deployment.
  • Build and validate the first production-ready product slice, making practical decisions about infrastructure, security, quality, and delivery speed.
  • Set the engineering roadmap and establish architecture direction, standards, and a positive team culture.
  • Work closely with founders and users, iterating on product needs and technical priorities.
  • Hire and manage an engineering team as the organization grows. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • At least 5 years building and operating production data-intensive or NLP systems, including ingestion, deduplication, entity resolution, queues, and orchestrated pipelines.
  • Strong Python skills and production engineering experience with automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and monitoring for data or model drift.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL and at least one graph database, vector store, or search engine.
  • Practical experience with embeddings, vector search, and language model integration, including cost, versioning, and non-determinism considerations.
  • Ability to build clean APIs and functional analyst-facing interfaces using React, Vue, or a similar framework.
  • Experience owning production systems across cloud and on-premises deployment, and willingness and eligibility to obtain a security clearance.
  • Docker, Kubernetes or Helm, large-scale collection of online discourse data, and German language skills are useful additions. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: EUR 60,000 to EUR 120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
