Engineering Manager - AI & Agentic Product (m/f/d)

Your Role

In this position, you will lead two teams that form the core of our product:

• Machine Learning / Data Science: Focus on pricing & forecasting.
• Agentic Application (Greenfield): You will build this team from scratch to develop a completely new, AI-driven product.

You are responsible for people management (disciplinary) for both teams. Your task is to bridge complex ML models and a scalable product. You will work closely with our staff engineers (full stack & ML), who set the technical guidelines and architecture.

Your Responsibilities

• Team Building & Scaling
• You will build the new "Agentic Application" unit. In the first phase, you will manage development with external partners and freelancers, while simultaneously recruiting the internal team.
• You are responsible for the entire hiring process (interview loops, case design, final decisions).
• People Leadership
• You act as coach and mentor for your teams. You take care of feedback, individual development paths, and a healthy team dynamic.
• You create structures where engineering quality and reliable delivery go hand in hand.
• Execution & Processes
• You establish a system for planning and release cycles that suits a startup.
• You ensure that ML experiments and frontend features integrate logically, and that we learn quickly through measurability (e.g., A/B tests).
• Product Focus
• You work closely with the product team on the roadmap and make pragmatic decisions when weighing trade-offs between UX, technical risk, and speed.
  

Your Profile

• Background: You have experience as an engineering manager or as a tech lead with a clear focus on people & processes.
• Builder Mentality: You are eager to build a team from 0 to 1 and establish processes where they do not yet exist.
• Communication: You can facilitate communication between ML experts, app developers, and product managers—clearly and solution-oriented, with no empty buzzwords.
• Stakeholder Management: You have experience not only "managing" external service providers, but also leading them operationally to prevent technical chaos. You know how to combine external speed with internal quality standards.
• Languages: Fluent German and English.

Tech Stack

• You should feel comfortable in our environment: Python (ML), TypeScript, Angular, AWS, and MongoDB.
