Product Delivery Engineer

Your mission As Product Delivery Engineer at Bliq, you will own the path from product requirements to reliable delivery. You will work closely with engineering, design, operations, sales, and the founders to make sure we build the right things, build them properly, and ship them on time. You will turn business and operational needs into clear requirements, drive execution across teams, test completed work, coordinate bug fixing, and ensure that every release meets its intended purpose. This is a hands-on role. Depending on the project, contributing directly may include investigating technical issues, working with data, building prototypes, writing scripts, or contributing production code. You should be comfortable moving between product definition, delivery ownership, testing, and technical implementation. This is not a reporting or meeting-management role. You will be deeply involved in the product, understand how it should work, challenge unclear decisions, uncover missing cases, and take responsibility for getting work across the finish line. Your Responsibilities Own product initiatives from initial requirements through design, implementation, testing, release, and post-launch follow-upTranslate business, customer, and operational needs into clear product requirements, user flows, acceptance criteria, and executable workWork closely with designers and engineers to identify ambiguity, technical constraints, dependencies, and edge cases before development beginsContribute directly to implementation where useful, including prototypes, internal tools, scripts, integrations, and production codeMaintain a clear view of priorities, scope, ownership, progress, and delivery risks across active initiativesDrive projects forward proactively and resolve blockers before they affect deliveryTest new features and operational workflows against their requirementsInvestigate technical and product issues, reproduce defects, and help identify root causesCoordinate bug triage, prioritization, resolution, and verification with engineersEnsure that releases are complete, reliable, documented where necessary, and ready for real-world useKeep stakeholders informed with clear and honest updates about progress, risks, trade-offs, and timelinesImprove the way Bliq defines, builds, tests, and delivers products without introducing unnecessary processContribute wherever needed to get important work shipped Your profile You take personal responsibility for outcomes rather than simply coordinating other people’s work. You naturally bring structure to ambiguous situations, understand technology well enough to work as a peer with engineers, and care about whether the actual product works, not whether every task has been marked complete. You are comfortable reading code, discussing implementation details, investigating technical problems, and contributing code when that is the fastest way to move a project forward. In particular, we look for: At least 5 years of experience delivering software products in a product, engineering, technical program management, delivery, or comparable roleA proven track record of taking complex software initiatives from unclear requirements to successful releaseA strong technical background, ideally including practical software development experienceThe ability to contribute code, prototypes, scripts, or technical solutions when requiredStrong understanding of software architecture, APIs, data flows, databases, system behavior, and technical trade-offsPractical experience using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development with the judgment to know when and how much to rely on themExcellent ability to turn broad objectives into precise requirements, acceptance criteria, priorities, and delivery plansHands-on experience testing software, identifying edge cases, reproducing defects, and working with engineers through resolutionStrong judgment around scope, quality, speed, and pragmatic trade-offsThe ability to manage several parallel initiatives without losing important detailsConfidence in challenging founders, engineers, designers, and other stakeholders when requirements or decisions are unclearClear written and verbal communication, particularly when explaining risks, decisions, and technical issuesExperience working in a startup or another fast-moving product environmentComfort working without established processes and creating only the structure that is genuinely usefulA self-directed, persistent, and entrepreneurial working styleA focus on delivering working outcomes rather than producing presentations or maintaining process for its own sakeExcellent communication skills in English, both verbal and writtenBonus: professional experience as a software engineer, technical product manager, or engineering leadBonus: experience with mobility, fleet management, operations software, autonomous vehicles, or safety-critical systems What Success Looks Like Requirements are clear before significant engineering work beginsEngineers understand what they are building and whyRisks, dependencies, and delays become visible earlyFeatures are tested against their intended behavior rather than only their technical implementationTechnical gaps can be investigated and resolved without unnecessary handoffsYou contribute code or technical solutions when doing so improves speed or qualityBugs have clear ownership and are driven through resolutionStakeholders receive reliable delivery expectationsReleases reach production without important details falling through the cracksThe team ships faster because coordination, technical execution, and quality improve Tips for a successful application Tell us about a product or project you personally drove from an unclear starting point through successful delivery.Explain how you worked with engineers, designers, and business stakeholders when requirements conflicted or changed.Give an example of a technical problem you investigated or helped implement directly.Describe how you use AI coding tools in your work and how you decide when to rely on them.Give a concrete example of a serious product, quality, or delivery problem you identified and resolved.Show us how you think. Evidence of ownership, technical judgment, and execution matters more than a polished CV. Why us? Take a central role in building a real driverless vehicle operation from scratchOwn delivery across products that connect software, vehicles, operations, and real-world usersWork directly with the founders and senior engineersInfluence both what we build and how we deliver itStay hands-on and contribute directly to technical implementationNo politics, corporate layers, or process for process’s sakeSignificant ownership from day oneCompetitive salary and meaningful equity for exceptional peopleBased in Berlin, building globally relevant technology About Us With Bliq our vision is to build a Neo-OEM that is turning existing cars into driverless vehicles that can be used by everyone. Our company operates vertically integrated across hardware, software, electronics, operations to put driverless cars on real roads. We currently hold operating permits in 3 European countries and are working to expand our current fleet of vehicles. We already have colleagues from a total of 12 countries, a truly international, diverse, and open-minded team. We value teamwork, entrepreneurial spirit, and technology.
