Job description
- Build what is next: You live in our customers' relative future. Push the edge of what is possible with the latest in AI, often without documentation or playbooks.
- End-to-end ownership: responsibility for your bets from idea to production.
- Ship fast: You can just ship things, both because you have the permission to and because you are comfortable iterating in public.
- Always be useful: Act as a hands-on owner, not a manager. In a startup spirit, we don't stop at role boundaries but jump in wherever help is needed most.
- Ship momentum, not chaos: Turn ambitious visions into executable plans without slowing down the team. Establish lightweight rituals that keep teams aligned without bureaucracy.
- Connect the dots: Identify dependencies across the business and with external partners before they become blockers.
- Enable autonomy: Build systems that let individuals ship independently while maintaining minimum viable coherence and mitigating risk., * Collaborative spirit: Open to learning from and co-building with peers inside and outside Shopware.
- Startup operating system: You've built 0-to-1 products and know how to balance speed with minimum viable process.
- Influence without authority: You drive outcomes through relationships and credibility, not hierarchy.
- Allergy to waste: You ruthlessly eliminate meetings, documents, and processes that don't directly accelerate shipping.
- AI-augmented coordination: You use AI tools to synthesize information, track dependencies, and communicate updates efficiently.
- Technical depth: You can read code, understand architecture, and have intelligent conversations with senior engineers., * Access to dedicated AI budget, tools, and the freedom to move at startup speed.
- Company Culture: Open culture with flat hierarchies, where individual initiative is encouraged.
- Employment Contracts: Permanent positions that offer long-term security.
- Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for mobile work and full-remote contracts.
- Equipment: Freedom to choose your preferred work hardware.
- Onboarding: Well-structured onboarding with support from a personal "buddy."
- Work Environment: An inspiring environment with dedicated colleagues and a dynamic community.
- Development Opportunities: Diverse opportunities for personal growth and development.
- Additional Benefits: Attractive perks such as company pension plans, health programs, and regular team events.
- ... and much more!
Requirements
Do you have experience in AI?, * Self-starter DNA: You thrive in ambiguity and love figuring things out without a detailed map.
- AI native: You default to 10x yourself with AI. You stay at the bleeding edge of emerging model capabilities and are excited about sharing what you've learned with others.
- Vibe-code fluency: Hands-on experience with modern AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, v0, Lovable, etc.) and comfortable going from concept to clickable demo in a day.
