Position: Founding Engineer / CTO
Role overview

Shape the technical foundation and early product direction of an AI automation platform for European businesses. This founding role combines hands-on engineering with architectural, product, and team influence, taking ideas from customer problems to production systems.

Responsibilities
  • Build core APIs, integrations, and automation infrastructure, and make key architecture decisions as the product grows.
  • Turn ideas into production features quickly, working directly with customers to understand needs and deliver solutions.
  • Set engineering standards through maintainable code and technical decisions that future hires can build on.
  • Help choose product priorities and shape the company’s technical culture and roadmap.
  • Use AI coding tools and agent protocols in day-to-day development, and build AI-powered product features.
Requirements
  • Strong hands-on software engineering ability and experience building products from the ground up.
  • Comfort working through ambiguity, making independent decisions, and moving from concept to shipped software.
  • Fluency with Claude Code as a primary development environment, plus regular use of AI coding assistants.
  • Experience creating effective specifications for AI-assisted implementation and building or coordinating agents using MCP.
  • Familiarity with Claude or GPT APIs and rapid prototyping tools.
  • A commitment to clean, practical code and enthusiasm for AI-assisted engineering.
Nice to have
  • Experience with Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js, Type Script, n8n, Docker, AWS, GCP, or Vercel.
  • Experience with early-stage products, customer-facing development, or automation systems.
Benefits and work setup
  • Remote within Europe, or hybrid in Zurich or Barcelona.
  • Base compensation with a performance bonus and an early-stage equity package.
  • Annual learning and home office budgets.
  • Significant input into product, team, and company direction, with an emphasis on focused work and autonomy.
