Founding Engineer

build for those who buildopus AI agents are revolutionizing processes for industrial supply chain teams. Our mission is to strengthen Europe’s industrial backbone by ensuring material supply and making operational processes future-proof. Our AI agents optimize how companies plan, negotiate, and manage their procure-to-pay processes – helping them automate control over their single largest cost driver and remain competitive in the long term.

Leading companies already trust opus AI agents and are transforming their processes into a competitive advantage with us🚀 We are in production with real customers – scaling rapidly and shipping new features as we speak💰 We secured €5M+ in funding from leading early-stage investors and seasoned industry experts👥 We are a team of entrepreneurs, industry experts, and engineers driven by a joint ambition – to safeguard the economic foundation of Europe for future generationsTasks🎯 Your impactOwn the 0-to-1 Journey – Architect and ship new features from first principles. You will be the primary builder of systems where no blueprint exists, ensuring every line of code balances immediate impact with long-term scalabilityBuild Effective Agentic Solutions – Design agents that utilize LLMs for reasoning, document extraction, and the end-to-end automation of complex enterprise processes. You will implement AI best practices to ensure our autonomous agents act with precision, security and industrial-grade reliabilityArchitect Enterprise-Ready Systems – You will design mission-critical, secure, and resilient AI solutions.

Your work will be held to the highest reliability standards to ensure data integrity and security for global industrial leadersExecute Across the Stack – You will take full ownership of the user journey. Whether it's refining the React frontend, architecting complex backend logic, or managing cloud infrastructure, you do whatever it takes to ship high-quality, end-to-end featuresRequirements🌟 What makes you a great fitLanguages and Frameworks – You have worked in Python and frameworks like FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy. You are familiar with TypeScript and frontend libraries like React and are able to build intuitive interfaces for complex workflowsAI and LLMs – You have practical experience with prompt engineering and agentic frameworks (e.g.

Google Agent Development Kit, LangGraph). You may even have production experience with LLM observability and evaluationInfra and DevOps –You know your way around cloud deployment patterns (e.g. to GCP or AWS). You might have written some Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and CI/CD workflowsMost importantly, you are a fast learner who is eager to learn any technology required to solve the problem at handHigh Agency – You see a critical problem outside your immediate scope, like an infrastructure bottleneck or a customer friction point, and you fix it without being asked, exercising good judgment while doing soPragmatic & Fast – You value "good enough to ship" over "perfectly engineered.” You use AI assistants (e.g.

Cursor, Copilot, Gemini) to automate the mundane so you can focus on the highest-value tasksNice-to-Have’s –German Language Proficiency – While English is our primary language, German fluency is a strong plus to help us better support our core industrial customer baseBenefits📦 The opus packageCompetitive compensation + meaningful equity – real ownership in opus’ long-term successImpact from day one – high ownership, fast customer feedback, responsibility for outcomesAI-first, builder environment – the best tools, low overhead, strong bias to ship and learnIn-person by design – Berlin-Mitte office, high focus, ambitious team, low ego28 vacation days & flexibility when you need to recharge🧑‍🚀 Our interview processDiscovery Call (45 min)We get to know each other and talk about culture, agency, judgment, and how you think about productsCoding Assessment (60 min)A hands-on session focused on execution and pragmatism – including how you use tools (and AI) to shipSystem Design (60 min)Deep dive into architecture and technical strategy: trade-offs, scalability, and long-term thinkingFounder Interview (30 min)Final conversation to align on mission, communication, expectations, and mutual fit
