5+ years of experience / Competitive salary and equity package

What will you build?

We are an early-stage AI startup with the vision to make European SMBs (small and medium businesses) competitive again. We believe SMBs are the real heroes of the economy - they employ around 70% of the workforce, and they embody the long heritage of European entrepreneurship.

Today, SMBs face serious existential threats - up to 45% of SMBs believe that their companies will disappear in the next 5-10 years. Large Enterprises outpace them in tech resources, and AI infra players forget their needs. We are here to change it.

We provide SMBs access to frontier AI with zero-setup solutions to optimize their sales and ops processes. We help SMBs to increase their sales efficiency without increasing their resources.

What will you do?

1. Develop a back-end agent orchestrator to automate sales & ops processes without any setup required;
2. Build and maintain backend integrations to CRMs and ERPs;
3. Orchestrate the execution of VMs and containerized environments;
4. Infrastructure, CI/CD & DevOps responsibilities to ensure low product latency & optimal infrastructure to scale;
5. Help scale a high-performing engineering organization and mentor junior engineers as the team grows.

Looking for someone with this experience and cultural fit...

1. 5+ years of full-stack / back-end software engineering
2. Experience in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), Virtual Machines, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
3. Deep passion for changing the world around you.
4. Grit, strong work ethic, flexibility (think beyond your role), and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
5. Down to enjoy the ride!

Nice to have experience in...

1. Design of AI pipelines (i.e. data pipelines, knowledge of vector databases, search/retrieval, evaluation techniques, AI/ML frameworks);
2. Web or process automation with APIs, endpoints, and HTTP requests;
3. Microservice-oriented architecture and designing systems at scale;
4. Startup or early-stage company experience.

We have a bold vision - make every second count for SMBs, the real heroes of the economy. SMBs are under a serious threat of extinction under the coming AI wave.

Join a small team of highly committed individuals that can make this broad vision a reality. We build fast, celebrate our wins together, learn from our failures, and relentlessly focus on our mission.

Join us - be a driving force to help European SMBs get access to frontier AI!
