Founding Engineer

About The Role This is a founding engineering position at a YC-backed enterprise AI startup building agents that automate complex system integrations — ERP rollouts, data migrations, and cross-platform implementations that typically take months of consultant work. You'd join a small, tight-knit engineering team where your decisions directly shape the architecture and set the standard for engineers who come after you. What You'll Do Build and evolve the agent core — the planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data movement. Own systems end to end: connectors, transformation engine, execution runtime, web app, SDK, and MCP server. Identify and ship the highest-leverage engineering work each week without waiting for a spec or ticket queue. Work on genuinely critical infrastructure that operates against production ERP and financial systems where reliability truly matters. Join customer calls when they touch your work — understanding real user needs is part of the job. Set engineering patterns and raise the technical bar that future teammates will build on. What We're Looking For 2+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems. Strong proficiency in TypeScript with demonstrated experience building full-stack applications end to end. Proficiency in at least one additional language — Python, Go, or C. Experience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems such as ERPs, CRMs, or data warehouse platforms (e.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar). Solid technical judgment around reliability, scalability, and the real failure modes of critical infrastructure. Comfort working directly with customers on technical implementations or support. Experience building or meaningfully contributing to open source projects. Background in data migration, ETL, or system integration work is a plus. Strong CS fundamentals, whether from a top technical university or demonstrated through competitive programming or strong internship experience. Prior experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup environment is a plus. Clear, direct communicator — you can articulate the problem, what you tried, and what you need. Compensation & Benefits Salary range: €90,000 – €150,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available. Location On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
