Jobbeschreibung

Munich (hybrid) | Early-stage | Relocation offered | German Speaker Preferenced)

We're working with an early-stage company in Munich that’s already doing what most teams spend years trying to prove - building a product that customers genuinely rely on, and scaling it with enterprise clients.

Construction is one of the largest industries in the world - and one of the least modernised. Processes are fragmented, manual, and often held together by spreadsheets and workarounds.

This company is taking a different approach - building towards full workflow automation across the value chain, using AI to remove entire layers of operational friction. The opportunity isn’t just to improve workflows, it’s to redefine how they exist in the first place.

Think:

• AI agents replacing manual workflows
• Real cost savings at enterprise scale
• Deep network effects as adoption grows

They’ve moved quickly from early traction into meaningful revenue, with large customers already embedded and expanding. They’ve also recently raised from some of the most respected investors globally in software and AI - the kind of names that tend to show up early in category-defining companies.

The opportunity:

This is a leadership-level role, sitting at the heart of how the engineering team and org evolve over the next phase of growth. You won’t be inheriting a mature, fully-structured function. Instead, you’ll be working closely with the founders to:

• Own hiring, coaching and org design end-to-end as the team scales past 10 engineers across three teams
• Free the founders to focus on building and discovery, rather than day-to-day people management
• Build the structure, feedback and growth paths that let every engineer - and every team lead - do their best work
• Stay close enough to the code to be a real sparring partner on architecture and system design

It’s a role for someone who wants to build the team, not just manage the one that exists.

What they’re building:

A platform focused on automating complex workflows within the construction industry - starting with material procurement and finance, and expanding towards a broader vision of AI-driven, agent-led automation.

It’s a huge, under-digitised space with real inefficiencies and clear ROI for customers. They’re already live with some of the world’s largest construction companies, with plans to expand further internationally.

Who this is for:

You’re likely someone who:

• Has 8+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time in high-growth startups or scale-ups
• Has led engineering teams of 10+ people, ideally managing managers or leads - not just individual contributors
• Has built or scaled a technical recruiting engine before, and knows how to raise the hiring bar
• Is AI-first - using modern AI-assisted engineering workflows yourself, and thinking agent-first, LLM-first about how software gets built
• Is structured and calm under ambiguity, and can design an org from scratch rather than just run an existing one
• Believes engineers should ship end-to-end and that the best technical solution isn’t always the best business outcome

German language is important here - most customers are German-speaking, and engineers are expected to engage with them directly.

The environment:

• A team scaling past 10 engineers across three functions
• Real pressure on execution - and real opportunity to build the structure that improves it

They’ve learned quickly that this stage exposes a real leadership gap - one they’re open about internally. They now want someone who can take that gap and turn it into a function.

Why it’s interesting:

There’s a very specific window where a company has:

• Real customers and real traction
• Backing from top-tier investors
• A clear product direction, but an engineering org still to be designed

This is that window. The person joining now won’t just manage a team - they’ll shape how the company builds and grows people, with a clear path to broader engineering leadership as the org scales.

What you get in return:

• Real ownership - of hiring, of org design, of how the team grows
• A clear path to grow this into a broader engineering leadership function
• Competitive salary and equity
• Mentorship from experienced colleagues and external mentors
• Direct access to customer champions to shape product decisions
• Access to cutting-edge AI tooling and a strong investor ecosystem
• Relocation support, top-notch hardware, daily dinners in the office, an L&D budget, wellness perks, and yearly company off-sites (recent ones in Mallorca and Italy)

In short:

Build the team, not just run it

Stay close enough to the code to matter
