Job description

BoWatt is building agentic requirements and system engineering software for manufacturing. We believe AI will reach PhD-level engineering capability within the next 10 years. This will unlock massive value across several complex manufacturing industries. Cars. Planes. Rockets. Factories. Chips. Medical devices. All will be engineered with agents.

We bootstrapped BoWatt to €500k+ ARR before raising our first round. BoWatt is backed by tier-1 investors, including Atlantic Foodlabs, Buildery (CDTM affiliates), and Prequel Ventures, along with angels from Cohere and Luminovo.

You’ll join a small, exceptional team of startup builders, driven by innovation and execution. Over half the team are former founders across DeepTech AI, psychedelics, and gaming. We’ve studied and worked at top institutions and companies like Stanford, TUM, Google, EA, and YC-backed AI startups.

The role

Work directly with our founder Steven on whichever problems and opportunities matter most to BoWatt's growth.

This is a high-ownership generalist role for someone who wants to learn quickly, take responsibility early and help build an ambitious company from the ground up. You will work across different parts of BoWatt rather than joining a narrowly defined function.

• Grow revenue with us. Get involved in our GTM function, from generating pipeline and creating sales materials to running webinars and supporting customer conversations.
• Get close to our product and our customers. Support onboarding and adoption of our software in real engineering workflows, join customer calls and bring what you hear back to our product team.
• Build the team. Define hiring needs, improve our recruiting processes and do hands-on recruiting.
• Build the foundation of the company. Organise team events, improve internal processes and keep operations running efficiently.
• Support stakeholder management and investor relations. Prepare board and management-level presentations, reports and analyses for internal and external stakeholders.

You

• You're entrepreneurial, hands-on and resilient, and not afraid to get your hands dirty
• You care about speed and results and would rather take action than spend too long discussing what should happen
• You write clearly, speak confidently and know how to get to the point
• You're comfortable working with numbers and operational detail
• You're curious about technical products and enjoy understanding how our customers actually work
• You want impact and ownership in an early-stage company
• You're a self-motivated, high-energy team player

Requirements

• Previous experience or internships in a startup, VC, sales, consulting, banking or another demanding environment
• Strong execution ability as a generalist
• 4 days per week in our Munich office
• Fluent German required; English is our internal working language
