Job description
About the Role This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-conviction team building purpose-built AI agents for the sea and air freight industry. As a Founding Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of customer discovery, product strategy, and hands-on engineering. You'll help transition the product from demo-stage to a scalable, production-grade platform - and play a direct role in shaping the company's technical and strategic direction from the ground up. The company is an early-stage B2B SaaS startup in the freight and logistics technology space, developing an AI operating system that automates operational workflows - such as rate requests, bookings, and exception handling - for top-tier freight forwarders. The platform integrates with existing industry systems and continuously improves with every shipment processed. Work arrangement: Hybrid - Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is available. What You'll Do • Lead customer conversations, deeply understand user pain points, and translate insights into concrete product features and technical strategy. • Design, build, and ship full-stack applications across the entire product surface area. • Advance the product's AI capabilities - including LLM integrations, agent orchestration, and data pipelines. • Drive the transition from MVP and demo-mode to scalable, high-quality production systems. • Contribute to shaping product direction, engineering culture, and company strategy as an early team member. What We're Looking For Must-haves: • 2+ years of software engineering experience. • Full-stack development proficiency: Node.js, TypeScript, and React on the frontend/backend; Python for backend and ML-adjacent work. • Hands-on experience with LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning. • Proven track record designing, building, and deploying scalable products from MVP through production. • Comfort leading customer conversations and distilling feedback into clear product requirements. • Experience working in a startup or early-stage environment - you thrive with autonomy and ambiguity. Nice to have: • Familiarity with the freight forwarding or broader logistics technology space. • Experience integrating with enterprise systems (e.g. ERP, TMS, or carrier portals). • Background at a high-calibre technology, consulting, or logistics-tech company. Compensation & Benefits Compensation details are not publicly listed for this role. Equity participation is expected given the founding-team nature of the position. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate. Location Berlin, Germany - Hybrid working arrangement. Candidates should expect a regular in-person presence at the Berlin office.
