About the Role

Join a fast-moving, early-stage logistics technology startup as a Founding Engineer and help build the AI platform that is making global freight forwarding autonomous. As one of the first engineers, you will own critical architecture decisions, ship full-stack features end-to-end, and push the boundaries of applied AI in a production environment — all while working closely with the founding team in Munich. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role suited to someone with a founder mentality who thrives in ambiguity and wants to shape the technical DNA of a company from the ground up.

• Build reliable, scalable full-stack features that make users radically more efficient.
• Evaluate, benchmark, and fine-tune AI/ML capabilities to maximise domain accuracy and context.
• Continuously experiment with new model releases, frameworks, and agentic techniques in production.
• Ship promising approaches quickly and iterate based on data and real user feedback.
• Navigate and improve large-scale, complex legacy codebases, adding structure and scalability.
• Engineer infrastructure and automation pipelines to support heavy data and AI workloads.
• Collaborate directly with founders and teammates as a hands-on, high-ownership contributor.

What We're Looking For

• Required: 2–3+ years of professional software development experience (strong personal projects or an entrepreneurial track record may substitute).
• Strong proficiency in Python; familiarity with Go is a significant plus.
• Solid full-stack engineering skills with the ability to move fluidly across backend and cloud environments.
• Hands-on production experience with AI/ML systems: benchmarking, fine-tuning, integrating LLMs, and running experiments in live environments.
• Experience designing and maintaining production-grade systems with clean, scalable architecture.
• Proven end-to-end ownership of features from initial design through to production deployment.
• Experience building cloud-scale systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, and observability.
• Strong CS fundamentals, intellectual humility, and exceptional self-discipline.
• Founder-level drive, adaptability, and a results-oriented, autonomous work style.
• Based in Munich or willing to relocate and work on-site.

Nice to Have

• Prior startup or entrepreneurial experience.
• Experience or genuine interest in logistics, freight forwarding, or autonomous systems.

• Equity: Meaningful early-employee options package (up to ~1.5%)
• Opportunity to define and own the technical direction of a product with real market traction
