About the role
About the Role
Join an engineering team building AI software for enterprise procurement. This customer-facing role combines on-site discovery with hands-on product development, helping procurement teams solve practical problems and turning successful solutions into reusable platform capabilities.
What You'll Do
- Work on-site with procurement teams to understand their workflows and translate broad requests into clear problems.
- Review agent conversations and execution traces to identify failure patterns, improve prompts and tool use, and create evaluation cases.
- Build product features, customer-data adapters, and integrations that connect enterprise systems.
- Take solutions from initial discovery through production rollout, observe real-world usage, and iterate based on what you learn.
- Bring recurring customer needs into shared product and platform capabilities.
What We're Looking For
- At least 2 years of professional experience delivering software used by real users.
- Strong full-stack or backend foundations, including production APIs, SQL, and relational databases.
- Production experience with TypeScript or Python.
- Experience translating customer discovery into shipped software and investigating system behavior through logs, traces, or conversation histories.
- Experience with enterprise integrations, LLM applications, or technical customer work.
- React, Next.js, other frontend frameworks, and experience connecting multiple systems or data sources are helpful.
- Clear communication with users, IT teams, and engineers, with a practical, systematic approach to debugging and follow-through.
- Procurement experience is not required.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary and meaningful equity are offered. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in Berlin, Berlin, Germany, with required travel and customer visits.
