Founding Engineer

Role details

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a founding engineering position at a YC-backed enterprise AI startup building agents that automate complex system integrations — ERP rollouts, data migrations, and cross-platform implementations that typically take months of consultant work. You'd join a small, tight-knit engineering team where your decisions directly shape the architecture and set the standard for engineers who come after you. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and evolve the agent core — the planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data movement. - Own systems end to end: connectors, transformation engine, execution runtime, web app, SDK, and MCP server. - Identify and ship the highest-leverage engineering work each week without waiting for a spec or ticket queue. - Work on genuinely critical infrastructure that operates against production ERP and financial systems where reliability truly matters. - Join customer calls when they touch your work — understanding real user needs is part of the job. - Set engineering patterns and raise the technical bar that future teammates will build on. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 2+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems. - Strong proficiency in TypeScript with demonstrated experience building full-stack applications end to end. - Proficiency in at least one additional language — Python, Go, or C. - Experience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems such as ERPs, CRMs, or data warehouse platforms (e.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar). - Solid technical judgment around reliability, scalability, and the real failure modes of critical infrastructure. - Comfort working directly with customers on technical implementations or support. - Experience building or meaningfully contributing to open source projects. - Background in data migration, ETL, or system integration work is a plus. - Strong CS fundamentals, whether from a top technical university or demonstrated through competitive programming or strong internship experience. - Prior experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup environment is a plus. - Clear, direct communicator — you can articulate the problem, what you tried, and what you need. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: €90,000 – €150,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
