What you'll do
- Talk to users, join customer meetings and analyse usage data to find out where MAIA can help most in people's daily work
- Work closely with product management and customer success
- Write concepts, build prototypes to test ideas quickly, and slice features so they reach users early
- Write the implementation plan, let coding agents implement it, and own architecture and quality, from the data model to the user interface
- Shape how people work with MAIA: asking questions, providing context, letting agents complete multi-step tasks and following their results
- After a release, check whether a feature is used and actually helps, and keep improving it based on feedback, usage data and evals
What we're looking for
- Solid software engineering: built products that people use every day and operated them in production, across backend and frontend
- Recognise weak architecture even when a coding agent wrote it
- Very strong in at least one of TypeScript, Python or Go, ideally one of the statically typed ones
- Product experience: talked to customers, questioned requirements and taken features from the first idea to daily use
- A feel for good usability
- At home in the LLM ecosystem: built applications with LLMs, professionally or in complex personal projects, and know their quirks
- Measure, don't guess: check whether a feature works using usage data, feedback and evals
- Agentic engineering: coding agents are part of your daily work; write plans that others review and that coding agents can build on, review results critically
- Remote-ready: communicate proactively, document your work so others can follow it, and move things forward without constant coordination
- Clear communication: people understand your concepts on first read; enjoy talking to customers as much as to engineers
- Fluent in English
- You need to live in Germany for this role
Nice to have
- German is a strong plus, as many of our customer conversations are in German
