Skills
About the Role
You will step in as a hands-on technical co-founder to take a working MVP and turn it into a scalable, customer-facing SaaS platform. You will make sound technical decisions under uncertainty, own the technical product end-to-end, and ship full features spanning frontend, backend, database, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and AI agents. You will work closely with the founder/CEO on product direction, user feedback, roadmap, hiring, and architecture. Rather than just managing engineers, you will be hands-on in the codebase every week, setting the standard by building, reviewing, unblocking, and making pragmatic decisions.
Requirements
- Ability to combine fullstack SaaS development with agentic AI development
- Experience building and shipping SaaS products used by real customers, ideally in a startup or start-to-scale environment
- GCP experience helpful; strong AWS or Azure experience also acceptable if able to transfer quickly
- Experience building agentic AI systems that perform real operational work
- Experience shipping an agentic product or feature to real users, not just notebook prototypes or demos
- Experience with German real estate, Mietrecht, Nebenkostenabrechnung, property management, banking, DATEV or document-heavy B2B workflows is a strong plus
