]]>Von Content bis Kampagnen: Du setzt um, bringst eigene Ideen ein und sorgst dafür, dass aus Konzepten konkrete Ergebnisse werden.
Deine Aufgaben im Überblick:
Nice-to-Haves:
Arbeitsweise:
Hiring is drowning in noise: too many applicants, too little signal. We scale real conversations with candidates and hiring teams, turn them into structured insight, and use that signal to match people to roles faster and better.
We’re backed by Merantix (Tier-1 AI investor), have an experienced founding team, early traction, and we’re going after a very large market.
]]>What you’ll do:
Build the Xpreso platform end-to-end (product + infrastructure), shipping weekly.
Own core systems in our stack:
TypeScript / Next.js (app, API routes, backend services where it makes sense)
Python / FastAPI (async services, pipelines, ML/LLM-adjacent logic)
Build the matching engine (the fun part):
turn messy inputs (job needs + candidate intent) into structured signal
design ranking / scoring logic and iterate it fast with real outcomes
create feedback loops so the system gets smarter over time
Build the data layer that makes matching possible:
schemas, data models, retrieval, embeddings, evaluation, analytics
clean interfaces between conversation capture → insight → match decisions
Integrate the ecosystem:
job data feeds, ATS/HR tooling, calendars, messaging, whatever removes friction
Partner tightly with product + GTM:
join customer calls, understand pain, translate it into product
keep the system pragmatic, reliable, and secure without over-engineering
Must-haves:
Strong experience with TypeScript (Next.js) and Python (FastAPI), including async systems.
Proven ability to ship production-grade software in a fast-moving environment.
Comfort designing and building backend systems: APIs, databases, queues, integrations.
Product mindset: you simplify, you prioritize, you build what matters.
Ownership + urgency: you see problems, you fix them, you communicate clearly.
Based in Berlin and up for regular in-person work with the founding team.
Strong pluses:
Experience with matching, ranking, search, recommendations, or data-driven scoring.
Experience with LLM systems in production (prompting, evals, retrieval, guardrails).
Experience with marketplace products or two-sided dynamics.
Experience with analytics instrumentation and experimentation loops.
Prior early-stage startup experience (or you’ve operated like it inside a bigger place).
Massive ownership and real influence (this is Technical Hire #1).
Meaningful equity - you’re building the core, not “helping out.”
A high-slope problem space: matching, signal extraction, and product loops that compound.
A founder team that moves fast and hates theatre.
Backing from Merantix and access to a serious AI network in Berlin.
A shot at defining a category in hiring - with tech that actually matters.
What you’ll do:
Own GTM execution end-to-end in a true 0→1 environment (working directly with the founders).
Turn early traction into a repeatable pipeline: sourcing, outbound, inbound, follow-ups, deal progression.
Win and manage design partners: discovery calls, pilots, feedback loops, renewals, expansions.
Build the revenue machine:
positioning + messaging
ICP definition + segmentation
outreach playbooks + sequences
CRM hygiene + reporting
lightweight sales ops (pricing tests, funnel tracking, conversion improvements)
Run channel experiments (and kill what doesn’t work fast):
LinkedIn + founder-led distribution
partnerships (VC/portfolio talent, communities, events)
referral loops + introductions
content that converts (not “brand poetry”)
Work cross-functionally with product/tech:
translate customer pain into product priorities
tighten onboarding, time-to-value, and retention
shape the commercial product (what we sell, how we package it)
An operator, not a slide-maker - you ship.
Comfortable in fast-moving environments (startup, scale-up, or “founder-mode” team).
Strong in customer conversations (discovery, objection handling, closing, follow-up).
Great with words: crisp messaging, clean outreach, sharp follow-ups.
Data-literate: you track funnel metrics, run tests, iterate weekly.
Calm in ambiguity, fast in execution, high ownership by default.
Happy to work on-site with the team in Berlin.
Bonus points (nice-to-have):
Recruiting / HR tech exposure.
Experience selling to startups/scale-ups in DACH.
Partnerships, community-led growth, or ecosystem GTM experience.
German + English (English required; German a big plus).
Massive ownership and a real seat at the table (this is GTM Hire #1).
Meaningful equity - you build it, you own it.
High learning curve: marketplace dynamics, AI product GTM, ecosystem distribution.
A founder team that moves fast and hates corporate theatre.
Backing from Merantix and access to a serious AI network in Berlin.
The chance to help define a category - and build a GTM organization from zero.

Strong technical background at MSc or PhD level, ideally in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
Strong plus:
Prior founder experience - including ventures that did not succeed
Deep domain expertise in an area relevant to us, including but not limited to Industrial AI, Healthcare, Robotics, or FinTech
Experience coaching or mentoring younger technical founders
Personal profile:
High tolerance for parallel context switching: you can spend the morning discussing an architectural challenge and the afternoon helping an industrial customer scale a pilot
Intellectually honest: you tell founders the uncomfortable truths early, instead of letting them learn them late and expensively
Low ego: you are successful when the founders are successful - not when your idea wins
You will work hands-on with exceptional founders from the earliest idea stage through validation, launch and financing readiness, while benefiting from the broader Merantix ecosystem of founders, AI engineers, operators, industry partners, investors and the AI Campus.
At Merantix, we value ownership, intellectual honesty, low ego and high ambition. You will be encouraged to bring your own ideas, test them quickly, and refine them through close collaboration with experienced founders, operators, investors and external experts.
Due to the volume of applications we receive, warm introductions are helpful but not required. We review all applications carefully.
