Founding Product Engineer

About the Role This is a rare opportunity to be the first engineering hire at a fast-moving, Y Combinator-backed startup building the marketing suite for the agentic web. The company helps brands understand and improve how AI platforms — think large language model-powered search and content tools — mention and surface them. You'll work directly with both founders and customers, owning product features from ambiguous idea all the way to live, value-delivering product. The work spans product thinking, frontend, backend systems, LLM pipelines, data, and real customer conversations. If you thrive in early-stage environments where you shape what gets built and how, this role is for you. What You'll Do Own full product features end to end — identify what to build, ship it, and keep iterating until it creates real customer value.

Work side by side with the founders and customers on a daily basis.

Span the full stack: frontend UI, backend systems, LLM/agentic pipelines, and data infrastructure.

Talk directly to customers, translate those conversations into product decisions, and close the loop.

Design simple, intuitive UX for complex AI-driven workflows.

What We're Looking For

Required

Demonstrated track record of shipping production SaaS features — you know what "done" looks like in a real product.

Comfortable owning full-stack product work from an ambiguous problem all the way to a live feature.

Strong instinct for designing clean, usable UX on top of complex workflows.

Solid experience with TypeScript and React.

Has shipped a product from 0 to 1 before (side project, startup, or early-stage role counts).

Nice to Have

Hands-on experience with Vite, Supabase, Vercel, and/or ClickHouse.

Exposure to LLMs and agentic workflows — either in production or in the way you personally work.

Comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of an early-stage startup environment.

Soft skills

Product-minded generalist who wants to own outcomes, not just tasks.

Enjoys direct customer contact and turning feedback into product.

Compensation & Benefits Base salary: €85,000 – €120,000 per year

Equity: Meaningful VSOP (founding-team range)
