Founding Engineer (m/f/d) ( 50% – 100% )

SteerSuite HQ runs on Azure and goes to market this fall. You own the technology behind it: architecture, operations and security. You share this with Nemanja Milenkovic, who's already on the team as a founding engineer. When a customer's IT team checks whether they can trust us with their data, you're their point of contact.

Who we are

SteerSuite makes companies AI-native. With SteerSuite HQ we're building a platform for a plug & play AI workforce: AI agents anyone can put to work on their own tasks in a few steps, without technical skills. Founded in 2026 by Sakis Tabakis and Julian Rosen, based in Bochum/Düsseldorf and Miami.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture: a multi-tenant platform on Azure and PostgreSQL, with tenant isolation through row-level security.
• Operations and security: alerting, incidents, rollback. You handle security questionnaires, pentests and customer reviews from the first enterprise conversation on.
• Sign-off: you and Nemanja decide what ships to production.
• Code reviews and quality standards across the team.

Who you are

• You've run a multi-tenant SaaS in production, incidents included.
• You know Azure, PostgreSQL and row-level security from hands-on work.
• You've been through a security audit or a customer due diligence.
• AI tools are part of how you build software every day.

Nice to have, not required: ISO 27001 or SOC 2 experience.

What you get

• Technical ownership of a product that goes to market this fall.
• A direct line to both founders. You manage your own time.
• Equity: we'll discuss it before the first conversation.
• Compensation: we'll share the range before the first interview.
