Job description

About the Role This is a hands-on engineering role at the heart of a fast-growing, agentic-first tax advisory technology platform targeting the German SME market. You'll join a small, high-calibre AI & Automation team and work directly with founders and product leads to build the infrastructure that transforms how tax advisory firms operate - turning repetitive, manual processes into fast, reliable, AI-powered execution. The platform sits at the intersection of regulated financial services and modern software engineering, giving you real-world exposure to complex domain problems where accuracy and compliance truly matter. This is an on-site role based in Berlin, Germany. Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this position. What You'll Do • Design and build automation and infrastructure tools that eliminate repetitive work across accounting and advisory workflows. • Translate complex accounting, tax, and advisory processes into scalable, AI-powered software solutions. • Integrate systems and data across multiple partner firms to create a coherent, unified platform experience. • Collaborate closely with founders, domain advisors, and product teams to ship high-impact features quickly. • Contribute to shaping the technical architecture - ensuring the stack is built for speed, reliability, and long-term scale. What We're Looking For Must-haves: • 3+ years of experience applying AI in real-world, production contexts - ideally in regulated industries (finance, legal, tax, healthcare, or similar). • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Python - you're comfortable shipping clean, pragmatic code in both. • Demonstrated experience building AI-powered automation that meaningfully accelerates real work - not just prototypes. • Solid computer science fundamentals and an instinct for clean, maintainable engineering. • Genuine interest in how businesses operate - accounting, finance, and process optimisation excite rather than intimidate you. Nice to have: • German language proficiency (professional or native level) - particularly valuable given the domain and client base. • Familiarity with German tax advisory workflows, DATEV, or similar accounting infrastructure. • Experience at a consulting firm, fintech, or professional-services technology company. Location This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be available to work from the Berlin office on a regular basis. Visa sponsorship is not available - candidates must have the right to work in Germany. Find more English Speaking Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
