Job description

Founding Engineer - EWOR-backed Stealth AI Startup  

Munich, Germany (Onsite 6 days/week, Saturday off)

€60,000–€80,000 + 0.5–2% Equity

 

We're partnering exclusively with an EWOR-backed stealth AI startup that's building an AI-native platform transforming enterprise logistics. Already loved by multiple enterprise customers and delivering 400%+ operational efficiency gains, they're now hiring their first two engineers to help scale the business through its next stage of growth.

 

You'll be...

  • Working directly with the founders.
  • Shaping the technical direction and engineering culture.
  • Building core product features from the ground up.
  • Solving complex architectural challenges.
  • Shipping quickly in a highly AI-native engineering environment.

 

What they're looking for

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals.
  • Excellent architectural thinking and system design skills.
  • Experience building in startups or high-growth environments.
  • Comfortable taking ownership and working autonomously.
  • Passion for building with AI and modern AI development workflows.
  • Python and/or Go experience is helpful, but not essential.
  • Fluent English, German highly advantageous

 

What matters most

They're not looking for someone who's spent years in one particular language or framework.

They're looking for engineers with:

  • Startup DNA.
  • High agency.
  • Strong architectural judgement.
  • The ability to leverage AI effectively to build great software.

 

If you're excited by building from the earliest stages and want genuine ownership rather than another engineering job, I'd be happy to tell you more.
