## Description du posteAbout usWe’re **Cortea**, a Berlin startup **transforming audits with AI**. Manual, document-heavy audits waste expert time while demand keeps rising. Our **AI-powered software and specialized AI agents** remove the repetitive work so auditors can focus on judgment.Backed by top-tier VCs with >15m funding, with a working product and paying customers, we’re rapidly scaling.We value **first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness**. We build side by side **in our Berlin office**.## Your RoleWe're looking for an **experienced engineer who's happy anywhere in the stack** and turns complex audit workflows into product auditors rely on every day. You pick up whatever a problem needs, from the data model to the interface to the agents behind it.A lot of what we build has no reference implementation. You're **comfortable wading into something nobody has solved yet** and shipping a first version that actually works.Our engineering team is a **small, flat group of builders**: strong ICs who open a laptop when they see a problem instead of scheduling a meeting. Everyone owns real product and architecture decisions, and that's exactly what we want more of.## What you'll do* Build the interfaces auditors work in, partnering with design to turn complex flows into something that feels effortless* Build and improve the agents at the core of the product, plus the harnesses and eval pipelines around them* Make the long-running workflows behind the product reliable and debuggable, so failures surface fast instead of silently* Use AI heavily in your own workflow to move faster, without ever shipping output you can't stand behind* Drive the how in RFCs and technical discussions with other engineers, and partner with product on the what## QualificationsYou'll fit here if you:* Have 5+ years shipping production web applications across the stack* Write production APIs and model the data behind them so it holds up under multi-tenancy and load* Are strong on the frontend and can build genuinely complex UI* Get how LLM agents actually work: agents, harnesses, tool use, and measuring quality with evals* Keep up with where AI is moving and bring the latest tools into how you work to make yourself faster* Bring a strong product mindset and real ownership of outcomes* Make architectural decisions, weigh trade-offs, and build things other engineers can extend* Are comfortable with ambiguity and work things out from fundamentals when there's no established answerNice-to-haves that are a plus:* Hands-on experience building agents, harnesses, or eval pipelines* Data-dense or workflow-heavy B2B products* Scaling multi-tenant systems as data and traffic grow* Audit, finance, compliance, or another domain where being wrong is expensive* Early-stage startup or fast-moving engineering environment**No one checks every box. If you ship across frontend, backend, and data and own what you build, let's talk.**## Our tech* React, TS, Tailwind, TanStack* Python, Postgres, Temporal, Kafka, Redis* GCP, Azure, k8s* GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion**What We Offer*** **High impact & growth:** Front-row seat to scaling an AI startup with real ownership from day one* **Mission-driven culture:** First-principles thinking, bold ideas, and a supportive team* **Attractive compensation:** competitive salary + meaningful equity* **Personal development:** Learning budget for courses and conferences* **True Berlin startup environment:** Central Berlin office, team lunches, retreats, flexible vacation**Interview process*** **First Call** — Intro to Cortea with our Founders Associate Liza* **Second Call** — Technical interview with our Membe...
