Jobbeschreibung

In Short

Langfuse is looking for a hands-on Customer Engineer to join the Berlin Office who will own the front line of our customer experience, keep a tight feedback loop with product engineering, and help thousands of AI‑product teams succeed with tracing & evals.

About Langfuse

• We are building the fastest growing open-source LLM engineering platform.
• We help engineers and enterprises build and run LLM applications at scale.
• We\'ve raised $4m from Y Combinator, Lightspeed and General Catalyst.
• Thousands of teams and engineers use Langfuse daily.
• Thousands are joining every month.
• We\'re a small, focused team working from Berlin, Germany.

What you will be working on

At Langfuse support is not a cost‑center but a product discovery engine: engineers own their features end-to-end, fixes land fast, and users ideally see “magic” when their feedback ships the same day. You will be running that engine.

Improve Low Touch (70%)

• Triage & solve inbound questions from Plain\u2019s unified inbox (Slack Connect, email, GitHub, Discord)
• Improve Docs, snippets and auto‑reply prompts so the next 1000 teams self‑serve the answer
• Build AI powered workflows to help customers faster
• Create helpful content i.e. helpful blog posts, sample repos and tutorials
• Escalate bugs to product engineering and close the loop with the customer once shipped
• Ship small improvements yourself to close the loop even faster

Engage High Touch (40%)

• Act as named technical contact for a handful of high‑volume customers; jump on Slack huddles, unblock integrations, surface best practices
• Track their feature requests, quantify impact, and champion them on our roadmap
• Go through deep technical integration/implementation questions together with our customers and in their codebase

Improve the Product

• Maintain the support → issue tracker flow: label, cluster, and prioritise insights so Product Engineering can act fast
• Spin up proof‑of‑concepts (TypeScript/Python) to reproduce edge cases or demonstrate work‑arounds

Who we are looking for

• Solid foundations in software engineering (CS degree or comparable projects).
• New grads and career‑switchers encouraged!
• Excited when to other engineers, debugging APIs, and turning chaos into crisp docs
• Strong writing: short Slack messages and long‑form guides
• Curiosity for LLM application development

Bonus:

• Past B2B solutions engineering, technical support, open‑source maintainer, or DevRel history

Why Langfuse?

• You are joining really early
• We have the greatest OSS community
• Strong Product Market Fit & revenue growth
• We are building a very small but highly capable team
• Only hiring engineering in foreseeable future
• Building for very sophisticated technical users
• Competitive salary & equity
• Zero‑bureaucracy budget for learning
• Team that pushes you
• Everyone on the team says: \"best place I\'ve ever worked at\"

How we work

• Engineering based in Berlin Mitte (we aim for 4-5 days in the office) + optional SF trips
• No more than 2 short scheduled meetings per week
• Extreme ownership & autonomy how and what to work on

Hiring Process

We can run this process in less than 7 days.

1. Intro call (30 min) – meet a founder, talk motivation & logistics

2. Functional deep‑dive (45 min) – talk about your experience that maps to this role, what makes you excellent and the perfect fit

3. Coding exercise (90 min) – this role is technical, during this call we will go deep on your aptitude to help customers get technical issues resolved and small fixes shipped

4. On‑site Super‑Day (½ day) – we simulate a couple of core activities of this role during a mini-work-trial to make both sides go from “Yes” to “Hell Yes”, during this day you will also get to meet the whole team

5. Decision & Offer – usually within 24 h.

We are very public about our strategy and product thinking, so feel free to start some deep research threads on this.
