About the Role
This is a co-founder-level opportunity to own the full technical vision of a pre-seed AI-powered smart home intelligence platform. You will shape the architecture, build the engineering team, and drive product development as the company scales from early-stage through Series A and beyond. Your decisions will directly determine how the platform detects anomalies, optimizes energy, and manages connected systems across residential and commercial properties.
What You'll Do
-
Own and evolve the technical architecture across IoT, cloud, and AI/ML layers.
-
Lead and grow the engineering team from the current early foundation, including hiring and mentoring engineers.
-
Drive the product roadmap from a technical perspective, balancing innovation with execution.
-
Write production code and solve critical technical problems alongside your team.
-
Represent the technical vision to investors, partners, and stakeholders.
What We're Looking For
-
10+ years of software engineering or technical leadership experience, with 3+ years in senior tech leadership roles.
-
Proven 0 to 1 startup experience as a co-founder or early CTO, not a big-company-only background.
-
Strong IoT and embedded systems background with hands-on experience shipping IoT products or systems.
-
Cloud architecture expertise, ideally AWS, with demonstrated ability to design and deploy scalable systems.
-
AI/ML product experience applied to real-world, production systems.
-
Hands-on coding ability across a modern stack including React, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
-
Hardware and software crossover experience, with understanding of embedded and software systems integration.
-
Smart home, building tech, or energy management domain knowledge is a strong plus.
-
German or Spanish language proficiency is a plus.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary range: 60,000 to 100,000 EUR annually, discussed on a case-by-case basis.
-
Co-founding equity up to 5% via an earn-in structure.
-
Visa sponsorship is not available.
