About the role
About the Role
Join a lean, high-impact engineering team at a Series A PropTech company building an AI-native operating system for short-term and holiday rental management across Europe. This is a central, ownership-heavy role — you'll design and ship agentic AI systems that observe, decide, and act on real-world property operations with humans in the loop. Expect to go deep on the business, modernize legacy systems, and turn messy operational workflows into reliable, autonomous software.
What You'll Do
Own features end-to-end — from requirement gathering through production deployment — with minimal hand-holding.
Design and build agentic AI workflows covering guest communication (chat and voice), operational decision-making, and property task management.
Modernize legacy systems and redesign data structures to meet evolving product needs.
Shadow real operational workflows to surface inefficiencies, hidden steps, and workarounds — then translate them into clean, production-ready software.
Scope, ship, and iterate on problems rather than working purely from a ticket queue.
Collaborate closely with internal teams to keep product and engineering tightly aligned.
Operate with high agency and sound judgment about speed vs. stability trade-offs.
What We're Looking For
Must-have:
TypeScript proficiency — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end: requirements → production, translating messy workflows into reliable systems.
Track record of shipping quickly with sound judgment about what can safely break in a lean startup environment.
Familiarity with React, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS.
Comfort working in an agentic engineering style — running multiple agents and terminals in parallel, using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex).
Strong product taste: attention to UX details down to messaging and interaction wording.
Ability to self-manage: plan work, communicate progress, and flag blockers proactively.
Fluent English and strong written/verbal communication skills.
Willingness to relocate to Germany and work from the Berlin office.
Nice to have:
Founder mentality or prior startup founding experience.
Experience with Linear and Notion for work tracking and documentation.
Background in PropTech, hospitality tech, or operational SaaS.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: €90,000 – €110,000 per year
Small, accountable team focused on outcomes over process
High-ownership, high-impact engineering environment
