About the Role

This is a founding engineering role at a fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed startup (W25) building AI agents for enterprise system implementations. The company automates the traditionally slow, consultant-heavy work of connecting, migrating, and implementing complex enterprise systems — think ERP rollouts, legacy data migrations, and production-grade system integrations — reducing timelines from months to days.

The core platform is open source with a strong community following, is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR-compliant, and supports EU and multi-region data residency, as well as self-hosted deployment via Docker/Kubernetes. The company supports 100+ enterprise systems including SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, Postgres, Databricks, Stripe, ServiceNow, and more.

You would be one of the first engineers on a small, high-caliber team in Munich, with direct influence over architecture and engineering culture from day one.

What You'll Do

• Build the agent core: Design and develop the planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into working, production-grade data pipelines.

• Own systems end to end: Work across connectors, the transformation engine, execution runtime, the web app, SDK, and MCP server — picking up whatever is highest-leverage each week and shipping it.

• Work on critical infrastructure: The software operates on live ERP and financial systems. You'll develop a deep understanding of failure modes and take reliability seriously.

• Talk to customers: When a request touches your work, you'll join the customer call. Understanding real-world needs is part of the job, not a distraction from it.

• Set the engineering bar: Everything you build becomes the pattern for the next ten engineers who join.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building production systems

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript with demonstrated experience building end-to-end applications

• Experience designing and implementing critical infrastructure with sound judgment on reliability and scalability

• Experience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems (e.g. ERP, CRM, or data warehouse platforms such as SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, or Snowflake)

• Proficiency in at least one additional language beyond TypeScript (Python, Go, or C)

• Experience working directly with customers on technical implementations or support

• Experience building or contributing to open source projects

Nice to have:

• Experience with data migration, ETL, or system integration projects

• Background from a top technical university (e.g. TUM, RWTH, ETH) or equivalent depth demonstrated through competitive programming or strong internships

• Experience in an early-stage startup or high-growth environment

Above all, we value:

• Communication first: You can articulate problems clearly, explain what you tried, and engage confidently with customers. Technically brilliant engineers who can't communicate effectively aren't a fit here.

• Technical judgment: You make good calls on build vs. buy, abstractions, and tradeoffs — not just execution.

• Ownership mindset: No ticket queue, no pre-written specs. You identify the problem and drive it to resolution.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €90,000 – €150,000 per year, depending on experience

• Meaningful early equity in a seed-stage company running at or near breakeven

• Direct impact on product, architecture, and company direction from day one

• Small, high-trust team with no bureaucracy

Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

This is an on-site role based in Munich, Germany. The team works together in person; remote-only arrangements are not offered for this position.
