Join BLP Digital - The #1 Solution for ERP Automation

BLP Digital is redefining ERP automation with agentic AI. Spun out of ETH Zurich and HSG, we build AI agents that automate finance, procurement, logistics, sales, and more for some of the world's largest enterprises. We solve real enterprise problems with cutting-edge technology and a strong sense of ownership.

Our solution is live in 40+ countries, used by 550+ customers, and automates 70,000+ processes every day, including for Fortune 500 companies. As one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups, our success stems from deep expertise in technology and business processes, delivering a product with outstanding product-market fit, proven by a growing global customer base.

We've recently welcomed Goldman Sachs Alternatives as a growth investor, and we're now expanding into the UK and USA. We are just getting started. Ready to build the future? Join BLP Digital today.

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.
