Job Summary
In this role, you will develop the core architecture for intelligent agents, optimize their runtime, and create tools to handle complex data in engineering environments.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Build the agent runtime and harnesses. You design and improve the core loops that let Atira's agents reason in complex engineering environments across the entire sales-engineering lifecycle. This includes the SDK, execution harnesses, and the orchestration layer that ties it together.
- Build out our AI moat. You are in charge of quality & evals, customising tools & skills, improving the ontology layer that unlocks compounding process knowledge and fusing deterministic guardrails with flexible harnesses to make our agents actionable at enterprise level complexity.
- Unlock industrial scale. 1000s of page inbound data, Excel pricing lists, technical drawings, CAD files, ERP tables, configurator rules - industrial environments operate in multi-modal, data-heavy settings where reliability is crucial. You will be responsible for continuously scaling our AI systems and infrastructure: millions of concurrent LLM requests, safely isolated sandboxes, and the corresponding observability stack - ensuring no silent failures, cost overruns, or latency spikes.
- Advance our internal AI tooling. FDEs, platform engineers, and the GTM team depend on the tooling you build to improve Atira's internal context layer, the models we use, and the skills we provide them with.
- Work with FDEs when customer problems hit the platform. When an FDE hits a problem that traces back to the runtime, the pipeline, or the AI infrastructure, you're the person they pull in. At a team of 12, the boundary between AI, platform and customer is thin, and you'll cross it regularly.

Our expectations of you
Education
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, AI, or a related technical field from a strong technical university.
Qualifications
- Ownership, depth, and the instinct to take problems personally, go deep until you understand the system, and own the outcome including the parts that broke.
- You've gone further than most with AI-assisted development. Whether it's Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or your own setup, you've invested seriously in building the skills, context, and workflows to get maximum leverage from coding agents. This isn't a nice-to-have. We think engineers who have mastered this are fundamentally more productive, and we hire accordingly.
- You are a strong technical decision maker that knows how to scale systems into millions of calls per day, while being able to explain the pros and cons of every solution. Yes, every solution: there are no silver bullets for complex problems.
- You've demonstrated ownership and initiative: a company you started, a serious open-source contribution, a side project that actually works, a role where you owned a technical outcome others would have delegated. We want to see evidence that you build things without being told to.
- Full working proficiency in English. German is not required.
Experience
- Agent fluency sits on top of real engineering fundamentals. Strong skills in Python, TypeScript, or a comparable language. Paired with hands-on experience with agents, harnesses, runtimes, sandboxing, tools and evals.

What we offer
- Real ownership: you'll be one of the early team members and shape both product and architecture as well as work closely with customers.
- Strong peers: work with people who have built and shipped AI systems in industrial environments at scale before, and the chance to learn directly from them.
- Impactful work: your code is deployed all across Europe's and US industrial backbone, affecting how complex products and services are sold and configured worldwide.
- Competitive salary & equity package and additional benefits including Wellpass, JobRad and dinners.
- Most importantly: Collaborate & thrive in a high-performing but caring culture. We will own the industrial sales function but will do so with modesty and integrity.
