We do not have a job spec for you. This is a posting for the person who knows they are pretty good, who wants the next years to count, and who reads the rest of our careers page thinking "none of these is exactly me, but I know what I would do here."
We hire for spike. One unusually deep skill or interest, a track record of doing things no one asked you to do, and the appetite to go far further than your CV implies. If you have all three, write to us and we will build the role around you.
Who This Is For
- You want to build something that matters at the speed only a small team in one room can move
- You have a clear opinion on where Zeit AI should go and you want to put it into action
- You communicate sharply in English. German is required for customer facing roles
- You can be in Munich, in-person
Zeit AI is an engineering-driven company building from Munich. We believe in high ownership, direct feedback, and super fast iteration.
- Munich is our primary hub. We believe strongly in frequent in-person collaboration and build the team around it. We support your relocation within Europe.
- We do regular SF off sites for product sprints and staying close to the cutting edge
- Whatever makes you faster, you can get
- Food on us. Daily lunch allowance and free in-office dinner
- Wellpass
- We offer a €5k referral bonus.
Tell us these two things in your application:
- Your spike. The one unusually great thing about you, that we should know of.
- What you would do at Zeit AI in your first three months. Pretend you already work here.
