Résumé du poste

StarApps is a Ghent-based venture studio building AI-first, product-led companies with speed and validation at the core. We launch products in days, not months, through small, elite teams.

We’re seeking an engineer to build AI-powered MVPs, own the full engineering flow, and turn ideas into testable prototypes within hours or days. You’ll work with designers, operators, and potential founders in a high-autonomy, high-impact environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years hands-on engineering (backend or full-stack) in fast-paced settings.
• Ability to build and ship independently, ideally with AI at the core.
• Strong understanding of LLMs, vector DBs, embeddings, and automation workflows.
• Ability to move from concept -> prototype -> MVP rapidly.
• Experience working in small, high-performance teams with full ownership.
• Cloud-native development with modern frameworks.

Responsabilités

• Build and ship AI-powered MVPs with ultra-fast iteration cycles.
• Own the full engineering flow: architecture -> development -> AI integration -> deployment.
• Turn ideas into testable prototypes within hours or days.
• Work directly with designers, operators, and potential founders.
• Instrument products for learning: analytics, feedback loops, growth experiments.
• Focus on time-to-value, not perfection.
• Guide technical direction; possible path to technical lead or co-founder.
• Evaluate and integrate new AI models, tools, and frameworks.
