Job description
About the Role
We're a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building an AI support agent platform that helps technical B2B teams automatically resolve complex customer support tickets. Our product integrates deeply with tools like Zendesk, Jira, Slack, and Sentry, and is built on a modern stack including Python, FastAPI, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Firestore, Docker, and Kubernetes — with OpenAI models at the core of our AI capabilities.
We're a small, fast-moving team of 9 based in Munich, Germany , and we're looking for an AI & Backend Engineer to join us on-site, 5 days a week. You'll own end-to-end features, push the boundaries of current-gen AI systems, and help shape the architecture powering our agents.
What You'll Do
Shape and implement full-stack product features across the entire stack.
Develop and enhance AI-powered capabilities, including agent workflows and model pipelines.
