We are a stealth-stage startup operating in the mobility sector.
We have our first customers, early traction, and are currently raising our pre-seed round.
The company is led by a repeat founder. We are looking for a technical co-founder to own everything engineering — from AI and data architecture to the product itself.
Tasks
* Design and own the end-to-end data architecture: ingestion, storage, transformation, and serving layers
* Build AI-powered systems including matching algorithms, dynamic pricing, demand forecasting, and route optimisation
* Lead full-stack development of the platform, maintaining solid engineering standards across the codebase
* Drive the ML/AI roadmap from early experimentation through to production at scale
* Architect backend systems for reliability and scalability as transaction volume grows
* Oversee API design and third-party integrations (logistics, telematics, payments)
* Hire and build an engineering team as the company grows
* Partner with the CEO on fundraising, due diligence, and investor conversations
Requirements
Must-Haves
* 3+ years in an engineering leadership or senior tech lead role, ideally at a fast-moving startup or scale-up
* Strong background in data architecture and engineering: pipelines, warehousing, real-time streaming
* Hands-on experience with ML/AI systems in production — not just prototypes
* Solid full-stack fundamentals, comfortable going deep on backend and across the stack when needed
* Fluent in English (written and verbal)
* Based in Germany
Nice-to-Haves
* Experience with logistics, marketplace, or two-sided platform products
* Cloud-native architecture experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
* Additional European languages (German especially welcome)
Mindset
* You think in systems but you ship things
* Hands-on and execution-focused — comfortable doing before delegating
* High ownership, low ego
* Energised by the early stage and what comes with it
Benefits
What You'll Get
* Co-founder title and a meaningful equity stake
* Competitive salary structured to reflect the stage
* Full ownership of the technical direction from day one
* High learning curve and fast execution cycles
* The opportunity to shape a significant market from the ground up
