- The engineer of yesterday is obsolete. We're looking for the engineer
of tomorrow. The way we build software has fundamentally, irreversibly
changed. The old playbooks are being rewritten in real-time by LLMs,
agents, and new AI-native architectures. At Tekkr, we believe that an
"AI-first" mindset isn't a feature; it's the foundation . If your
first instinct for a new problem isn't "How can I leverage AI to solve
this?" you are not right for this job. Please don't apply. Our
mission: What if… your work empowered tech teams across the world?
Software helps address the world’s biggest challenges from climate
crisis to inefficiency in governments. However, many companies and
teams are bogged down by their own inefficiencies and struggle to
develop technology effectively. Tekkr’s mission is to empower tech
teams and their leaders to achieve their full potential! Join tekkr
and become a positive multiplier for techies across the globe! We work
primarily with other, cutting-edge startups (Parloa, Orbem, Forto,
Vimcar...) and help them get even further ahead. So not only will you
work with a kick-ass Tekkr team, but also get real-life exposure to
amazing customers and collaborate with their tech leadership on some
of their most exciting challenges. We have built an initial software
product based on node.js, react, mongoDB, shadcn and modern AI-tooling
(e.g. RAG, langfuse, ...). We are using this product to run real
customer engagements and projects to deeply explore customer problems.
Our goal: build something people want! We learn super-fast, iterate
very quickly and need your help to become even faster! Let's build
this company together! Tasks Your mission: architect, augment,
accelerate This isn't a "ticket-taker" role. You are a Full-Stack
Founding Engineer . You will co-own the product, the culture, and the
technical vision. Your job is to find and build leverage. Full stack
development skills, ideally in the Tekkr stack: node, react, mongoDB
Architect AI-native systems: You won't just "add AI" to an old
product. You will design and build systems that start with AI. You'll
build, test, and deploy autonomous agents, RAG pipelines and
LLM-powered workflows as core product components. Operate at 10x
leverage: You will use AI as your primary co-developer, not just a
syntax-checker. Your first question for any task isn't "How do I build
this?" but "How do I get AI to build 80% of this, so I can focus on
the critical 20%?" Full-spectrum ownership: Take ideas from a
conversation with a customer's stakeholder to a deployed, AI-powered
solution. You will architect, design (with shadcn), build, and iterate
at a pace that traditional teams would call impossible. Shape the
future: As a founding engineer, your voice will directly influence our
product roadmap, our engineering culture, and our ultimate success.
Requirements Hard requirements: Full professional proficiency in
English, German is a plus Berlin-based, we want to start building a
local team, then expand for remote work for all European work permit
required Who you are: the AI-first operator We are not hiring for a
list of "skills." We are hiring for a mindset. You think in
"Leverage," not "Lines of Code." You are obsessed with efficiency.
You'd rather spend two hours crafting a complex prompt-chain that
saves 20 hours of manual coding than just "getting it done" the old
way. You are fluent in modern AI. You've already built non-trivial
projects with LLMs. You know what RAG is and why it matters. You've
played with agentic frameworks. You've built Simulations &
Evaluations. You are a pragmatic prototyper. You have a "ship it"
mentality. You know that a 90% solution powered by AI, delivered
today, is better than a 99% solution built manually, delivered next
month. You are a systems thinker. You understand that AI isn't just a
feature; it's a new, unpredictable layer of the stack. You can reason
about vector databases, context windows, and API costs just as easily
as you can about a REST API. You are entrepreneurial. This is the core
"startup attitude." You've built your own projects, freelanced, or run
a community. You know how to finish and get real-world feedback. Stack
We care more about your ability to learn and integrate than your
mastery of one framework. Here are things we use: Core AI: LLM-native
architectures, RAG, agentic systems, vector databases, and AI
observability Application layer: Node.js, React, MongoDB. Design/UX:
Ability to implement simple, effective designs using shadcn . Benefits
Highly attractive equity compensation based on industry benchmarks
Salary starting with at least 65.000€/ year up to 100.000€/ year
Join a team that has already established rapport with 50+ investors
including Sequoia, Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Northzone, FoundersFund,
Index Ventures + many leading German VCs like Earlybird, Holtzbrinck,
… Team Tekkr is built by techies for techies! At our core, we are in
love with improvement, learning and growth. We believe things can
always be done better! You will work directly with the founder Philipp
Römer who was previously VP product at forto leading the development
of software solutions for global trade, driving the company growth
from 80 to >850 forties and achieve a 2bn$ valuation as part of
forto's top management team. You will also work closely with Barzel
Segal, previously EVP Engineering at forto and long-time Silicon
Valley tech leader (Workday, Identified, Mindjet…) and Jackie Moyes
