Founding Python AI Engineer

📍 Eindhoven - Up to €72k + equity options

Here's the thing about most "AI-powered" products: strip away the marketing and there's not much there.

This isn't that.

This is an early-stage startup building genuine AI-native software for one of ecommerce's most expensive problems... Inventory that runs dry at the wrong moment, and cash locked up in stock that won't move. The product is the intelligence. The engineering is the moat.

They need a Python (AI) engineer to join the founding team.

That means owning core infrastructure from day one. Working directly with the CTO and founding team. And being early enough to shape how this company builds, tooling, architecture, culture included.

🔵 Up to €72k + stock options & benefits

🔵 Founding Engineer - real influence on architecture, tooling, and how the team operates

🔵 On-site at a fast-moving workspace in Eindhoven

🔵 Python-first stack, LLM integrations, and agent systems

🔵 Direct access to founders, no layers, no politics

Tasks

What you'll be doing:

🔵 Building and owning the backend powering real purchasing decisions for ecommerce businesses

🔵 Designing APIs, services, and data layers that scale without over-engineering for day one

🔵 Contributing to agent systems and orchestration logic as the platform evolves

🔵 Shaping architecture decisions alongside the CTO and first engineer

🔵 Influencing how the team builds - processes, tooling, and culture from the ground up

Requirements

You'll love this if...

✅ You have at least 4 years of experience with Python

✅ You want to own things end-to-end, not just close tickets

✅ You're genuinely curious about LLMs and AI/ML - side projects and tinkering count

✅ You've worked in a startup or small team and know what that pace looks like

✅ You want equity in something building real infrastructure, not riding the AI wave

If you want to be early at a company where AI is the product, not the pitch, this is worth a look.
