Product Engineer

About the Role

Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building an AI-native automation platform for private market operations. This company — backed by a respected European venture fund at the pre-seed stage — is making complex fund accounting, treasury, and transfer agency workflows genuinely AI-first, connecting to existing systems without ripping and replacing them.

As a Product Engineer , you'll sit at the intersection of design and engineering, owning the interfaces through which operations teams collaborate with autonomous AI agents. You'll shape the design system, review flows, and human-in-the-loop UX patterns that make agent output trustworthy and easy to act on — from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain the company's design system and UX patterns, establishing standards for a growing product surface.
• Build intuitive product interfaces that connect operations users to AI agents and underlying data sources (emails, portals, bank feeds, ERPs).
• Design and implement human-in-the-loop flows — review screens, approval steps, exception-handling — that let teams confidently act on agent outputs.
• Create reusable, well-documented UI components in React and TypeScript (with Tailwind CSS).
• Conduct user research with private market operations professionals to surface pain points and iteratively refine features.
• Collaborate closely with co-founders and the broader team in a fast-moving, high-trust environment.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 1–3 years of experience in product engineering, frontend engineering, or a design-engineering hybrid role.
• Proficiency in modern frontend development with React and TypeScript .
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing design systems and reusable UI component libraries for production interfaces.
• Hands‑on experience building human-in-the-loop UX for AI/ML workflows — you know how to surface model outputs in ways that build user trust.
• Ability to design and implement review and exception-handling flows within complex operational interfaces.
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills; comfortable working directly with founders and shaping product direction.
• Eligible to work in Germany without employer visa sponsorship (sponsorship is not available for this role).

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with private markets, fund operations, or fintech workflows.
• Experience with Tailwind CSS.
• Background at or knowledge of companies in the AI agent, LLM tooling, or fintech automation space (e.g. Basis, Eigen, Willow, Decagon, Dynamo AI, or similar).

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience.
• Early‑stage equity opportunity as a founding team member.
• High‑impact role with broad ownership and direct input into product strategy.

Location

This is a full‑time, on‑site role based in Berlin, Germany . The team works together in person and values in‑office collaboration. Candidates must already be authorised to work in Germany — visa sponsorship is not available.
