Prompt Engineer

Prompt Coding Engineer

We're partnering with a fast-moving startup building an AI-first SaaS platform for Germany's construction and engineering industry. The founders have serious operational pedigree and a clear vision. This is their first engineering hire.

The Role

You'll own the build of a complex, AI-powered product suite from the early stages, shipping production-ready features from day one. The stack is Laravel/PHP, but the job isn't really about the language. It's about thinking in prompts, owning outcomes, and moving fast.

This isn't a role where you get a two-month onboarding plan. You'll be in the code on day one, shipping ideas by day two.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building and shipping features using AI tooling (Cursor, Claude, GPT and similar) as your primary development method
• Owning requirements end-to-end without detailed specs
• Improving internal AI workflows and prompting strategies as the product grows
• Shaping engineering culture as one of the earliest hires

What They're Looking For

• Genuinely AI-native: you think in prompts, not code, and you use AI tooling to multiply your output
• Highly autonomous. You take a vague outcome and ship something clean within days, not weeks
• Fluent in German (C1 or native) - the platform and customer base are entirely German-speaking, and domain terminology matters
• Startup background strongly preferred. If your benchmark for speed is a large corporate, this isn't the right fit
• PHP + Laravel experience useful; more important is how fast you learn and how well you ship
• Background in construction or engineering a plus, not a requirement

What's On Offer

• 90,000 to 120,000 base depending on experience
• Equity on offer
• Remote-first with casual in-person meetups in Berlin
• Germany-based strongly preferred; Berlin ideal

The Process

Fast and practical. Initial conversation followed by a 24-hour build challenge to see how you think and what you can ship.
