AI Product Engineer (Early Career)

About The Company

The company is focused on building software that helps make democracy more efficient by integrating LLMs into production systems. It operates in a high-performance environment and values high velocity, craftsmanship, speed, and impact.

About The Role

Early-career Product Engineer to build and ship products integrating LLMs, work with founding team, mentorship from AI experts, based in Berlin, office 3 days a week.

We’re looking for an exceptional early-career Product Engineer — someone who combines strong coding foundations with deep curiosity, high ambition, and the drive to grow fast in a high-performance environment. You’ll work directly with the founding team to build and ship real products that integrate LLMs into production systems — building software that helps make democracy more efficient. This isn’t a typical “junior” role. You’ll take ownership early, work on technically challenging problems, and learn at startup speed.

You’ll also have mentorship from experts at leading AI companies (DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI) and experienced tech veterans (including Unicorn CTOs), while being exposed to frontier research and early-access partnerships.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship features end-to-end using our stack:
• Frontend: Vite, TypeScript, React, Tailwind
• Backend: Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy)
• Infrastructure: AWS
• Collaborate closely with founders and users to translate real-world problems into elegant, reliable systems.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and gradually take ownership of well-scoped components.
• Iterate fast — improve functionality, refactor for performance, and maintain quality in a fast-moving environment.
• Leverage AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and others to supercharge your development workflow.
  
  

This Role Isn’t For You If

• You want a predictable 9-to-5.
