* Translate accounting and tax advisory processes into scalable, AI-powered software.
* Integrate systems and data across multiple firms to create a coherent, unified platform.
* Collaborate closely with founders, advisors, and product teams to design and ship high-impact features.
* Help shape the overall technical architecture for speed, reliability, and scale.
### What We're Looking For
**Required**
* 3+ years of experience applying AI in real-world, production contexts — ideally including regulated domains.
* Strong proficiency in **TypeScript** and **Python**.
* Proven track record building AI-powered automation that accelerates real workflows.
* Solid computer science fundamentals with a pragmatic, clean coding style.
* Genuine interest in how businesses operate — accounting, finance, and process optimisation.
**Nice to Have**
* German language proficiency.
* Domain knowledge in accounting, tax advisory, or financial compliance.
* Background from or familiarity with consulting, finance, or legal-tech environments.
### Location
* **On-site in Berlin, Germany** — office presence is required.
