Founding AI Engineer

About the Role

This is a founding-team engineering role. You'll work directly with the founders to evolve our early stack and help service our first customers — military and emergency services units operating in demanding, resource-constrained environments.

Your initial focus will be on bespoke real-time speech-to-text systems, primarily in Python. The work is highly applied — you'll be building solutions that are used quickly in the field, under conditions that do not forgive poor engineering. Expect to move fast, make real decisions, and own what you build end-to-end.

What We Look For

• Voice AI in constrained environments — Experience implementing Voice AI systems where compute, connectivity, or latency constraints are real operational factors.
• Audio processing and low-latency systems — Comfortable working with audio pipelines and real-time systems, understanding tradeoffs under pressure.
• Strong execution and product mindset — Pragmatic, delivery-focused, able to build from zero and ship without perfect specifications.
• High tolerance for ambiguity — Comfortable with incomplete requirements and short timelines.
• Purpose-driven — Motivated to build impactful systems for high-stakes environments.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary €60,000 – €110,000 depending on experience.
• Meaningful equity as a founding team member.
• Relocation sponsorship available.
