About the role

We're giving you the keys to the machine. As our Applied AI Engineer, you'll have a founder-level mandate to build and ship AI-powered internal tools that make our hiring, finance and ops workflows 10x faster, not 10% faster. You'll work at the frontier of what's possible with LLMs, AI agents, and emerging AI tooling, and apply it where it matters most: inside our own company.

What you'll do

• Build and ship AI-powered internal tools fast: we're talking days and weeks, not quarters
• Evaluate, integrate, and chain the latest AI models, APIs, and frameworks (LLMs, agent frameworks, embedding pipelines, AI coding tools) into production-ready internal solutions
• Create compounding leverage: document and share each tool well enough that it frees up hours company-wide, not just for you
• Write clean, maintainable code that integrates with our existing systems (APIs, databases, third-party services) and doesn't break at scale
• Own your deployments end-to-end: build it, test it, ship it, monitor it, and build it well enough that it runs reliably without babysitting

What you'll bring

• Technical background with real building experience: CS degree, bootcamp, self-taught, we don't care as long as you've shipped things that work
• You've built with modern AI tooling (LLMs, AI coding assistants, workflow automation) and you're obsessed with what's coming next
• Startup or entrepreneurial DNA: you've either founded something, built an internal tool that became critical infra, or hacked together solutions that people actually used
• You move fast, communicate clearly, and love collaborating with non-technical teams to understand their pain points and turn them into elegant, automated solutions
• Fluency in English, German is a plus
• Bonus: experience with tools like Make, n8n, Retool, Supabase, or similar, but honestly, we care more about your ability to learn any tool in a weekend

What you'll get

• Build from zero to one. Take ownership of our internal tooling landscape, shaping its foundations and direction from the ground up.
• A founder-level mandate. You decide what gets built and how, with direct access to the latest LLMs, agent frameworks, and AI coding tools.
• Speed as the standard. Ship in days and weeks, not quarters, and see your tools change how the company runs within the same month.
