Prompt coding engineer | AI-native SaaS | Remote (Germany-based preferred)

We're partnering with a fast-moving startup building an AI-first SaaS platform for Germany's construction and engineering industry. The founders have serious operational pedigree and a clear vision. This is their first engineering hire.

The role

You'll own the build of a complex, AI-powered product suite from the early stages, shipping production-ready features from day one. The stack is Laravel/PHP, but the job isn't really about the language. It's about thinking in prompts, owning outcomes, and moving fast.

This isn't a role where you get a two-month onboarding plan. You'll be in the code on day one, shipping ideas by day two.

What you'll be doing

Building and shipping features using AI tooling (Cursor, Claude, GPT and similar) as your primary development method
Owning requirements end-to-end without detailed specs
Improving internal AI workflows and prompting strategies as the product grows
Shaping engineering culture as one of the earliest hires

What they're looking for

Genuinely AI-native: you think in prompts, not code, and you use AI tooling to multiply your output
Highly autonomous. You take a vague outcome and ship something clean within days, not weeks
Fluent in German (C1 or native) - the platform and customer base are entirely German-speaking, and domain terminology matters
Startup background strongly preferred. If your benchmark for speed is a large corporate, this isn't the right fit
PHP + Laravel experience useful; more important is how fast you learn and how well you ship
Background in construction or engineering a plus, not a requirement

What's on offer

€90,000 to €120,000 base depending on experience
Equity on offer
Remote-first with casual in-person meetups in Berlin
Germany-based strongly preferred; Berlin ideal

The process

Fast and practical. Initial conversation followed by a 24-hour build challenge to see how you think and what you can ship.

If this sounds like you, get in touch.
