Job description

About the Role This is a rare opportunity to be the first engineering hire at a fast-moving, Y Combinator-backed startup building the marketing suite for the agentic web. The company helps brands understand and improve how AI platforms - think large language model-powered search and content tools - mention and surface them. You'll work directly with both founders and customers, owning product features from ambiguous idea all the way to live, value-delivering product. The work spans product thinking, frontend, backend systems, LLM pipelines, data, and real customer conversations. If you thrive in early-stage environments where you shape what gets built and how, this role is for you. What You'll Do • Own full product features end to end - identify what to build, ship it, and keep iterating until it creates real customer value. • Work side by side with the founders and customers on a daily basis. • Span the full stack: frontend UI, backend systems, LLM/agentic pipelines, and data infrastructure. • Talk directly to customers, translate those conversations into product decisions, and close the loop. • Design simple, intuitive UX for complex AI-driven workflows. What We're Looking For Required: • Demonstrated track record of shipping production SaaS features - you know what "done" looks like in a real product. • Comfortable owning full-stack product work from an ambiguous problem all the way to a live feature. • Strong instinct for designing clean, usable UX on top of complex workflows. • Solid experience with TypeScript and React. • Has shipped a product from 0 to 1 before (side project, startup, or early-stage role counts). Nice to Have: • Hands-on experience with Vite, Supabase, Vercel, and/or ClickHouse. • Exposure to LLMs and agentic workflows - either in production or in the way you personally work. • Comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of an early-stage startup environment. Soft skills: • Product-minded generalist who wants to own outcomes, not just tasks. • Enjoys direct customer contact and turning feedback into product. • Based in Munich or genuinely willing to relocate - this is an on-site role. Compensation & Benefits • Base salary: €85,000 – €120,000 per year • Equity: Meaningful VSOP (founding-team range) • Visa sponsorship: Available • True founding-team scope and impact from day one Location Munich, Germany - on-site. The team works together in person. Candidates must be based in Munich or willing to relocate. Start date: as soon as possible. Find Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
