Job Description
About the Role
This is a high-ownership engineering role on a lean team building agentic AI systems that observe, decide, and act on real-world property operations — with humans in the loop. You'll work end-to-end across the stack, modernising legacy systems and turning messy operational workflows into reliable, autonomous software that powers the short-term rental industry across Europe.
What You'll Do
Own features end-to-end, from requirement gathering through to production-ready software.
Design and build agentic AI workflows for guest communication (chat and voice), operational decisions, and property tasks.
Modernise legacy systems and redesign data structures to meet evolving product requirements.
Shadow real operational workflows to uncover inefficiencies, workarounds, and hidden steps.
Translate messy processes into clean, scalable software — scoping, shipping, and iterating rather than working through tickets.
Collaborate closely with internal teams to align product and engineering direction.
Operate with high agency: plan your own work, communicate progress, and flag blockers proactively.
What We're Looking For
Demonstrable full-stack engineering experience with a portfolio or track record you can walk through.
Strong TypeScript skills — this is a hard requirement.
Familiarity with React, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS; comfortable using Linear and Notion for tracking and documentation.
Experience working in an agentic engineering style (e.g. running multiple AI coding agents and terminals in parallel).
Strong product taste — attention to UX detail down to message wording and interaction design.
Proven ability to ship quickly while exercising sound judgement about what can safely break.
Fluent English and strong written communication skills.
Startup mindset: thrives in small, outcome-focused teams rather than process-heavy environments.
Willingness to relocate to Germany and work from the Leipzig office regularly.
Bonus: founder mentality or prior experience founding a startup.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: €90,000 – €110,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
On-site in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. Candidates must be willing to relocate to Germany and attend the office in person.
