Product Engineer (Full-Stack / Agentic AI)

Role Summary

A well-funded European PropTech company building an AI-native operating system for short-term and holiday rental management is looking for a Product Engineer to join a lean, high-impact team. You'll design and ship agentic AI systems that observe, decide, and act on real-world property operations — with humans in the loop. This is a central, full-ownership role: you'll modernise legacy systems, redesign data structures, and turn messy operational workflows into reliable, autonomous software.

Responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end — from requirement gathering through to production-ready shipping.
• Design and build agentic AI workflows covering guest communication (chat and voice), operational decisions, and property tasks.
• Modernise legacy systems and redesign data structures to meet evolving product requirements.
• Shadow real operational workflows to surface inefficiencies, hidden steps, and workarounds.
• Translate complex, messy processes into clean, scalable software.
• Scope, ship, and iterate — driving solutions independently rather than working from a ticket queue.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams to keep product and engineering aligned.
• Operate with high agency and ownership, delivering results rapidly and safely.

Requirements

• Demonstrable engineering experience you can show during the hiring process.
• Strong TypeScript skills — this is a firm requirement.
• Proven ability to own features end-to-end: from gathering requirements to shipping production software.
• Track record of shipping quickly with sound judgement about what can safely break.
• Familiarity with React, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS ; comfortable using Linear and Notion for tracking and documentation.
• Comfort working in an agentic engineering style — e.g. running multiple agents, parallel terminals, and AI coding assistants.
• Strong product taste: attention to user experience 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 periodically.

Nice to Have

• Founder mentality or prior startup founding experience.
• Background in PropTech, hospitality tech, or operational automation.
• Salary: €90,000 – €110,000 per year
• Small, accountable team focused on outcomes over meetings
• High-ownership, high-impact role at a Series A/B-stage startup

Location

• Primary location: Leipzig, Saxony, Germany (on-site)
• Occasional presence at the Berlin office also expected
• Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must have existing authorisation to work in Germany
