Lead Engineer (gn) @ AI Venture, Berlin

About the Venture

We are building AI infrastructure. Our pre-seed funding is secured, there is early customer demand and the product is already in production.

We are now looking for a Lead Engineer to build the core of the product with us, set the technical direction and grow the engineering team.

About the Role

As Lead Engineer, you will spend most of your time building. At least 80% of your week is hands-on coding on our core systems. The rest goes into setting the technical direction, leading a team of 2 engineers and helping us hire as the team grows.

We are an AI-native engineering team, with agentic engineering at the centre of how we write, review and ship code. Coding agents such as Claude Code are the default way we build software, not an add-on.

We are at a very early stage. Many of the important technical decisions are still ahead, and you will be one of the people making them.

What You’ll Do

About You

You are a strong engineer who loves to build and is interested in more than the code itself.

You care about how a team works, how technical decisions get made and how an engineering organisation takes shape at an early stage.

You may already have led a team, or you may be a senior engineer ready to step into a lead role and take on the responsibility that comes with it.

Why Join

Funding is secured and the product is already in production, but most of the important technical decisions are still ahead.

You will write a lot of code, shape the architecture and help build the team from the start, with equity in the business you help build.

This is a full-time role, based in our Berlin office 5 days a week, starting as soon as possible.
