Founding AI Engineer

Brussels / Paris / Zurich

At Timper, engineers help decide what gets built in the real world.

We're on a mission to help build what the world needs. We're building the AI operating partner for real estate development: software and agents that help developers understand what can be built, where, why, and how to get it approved faster. This means transforming regulations, permits, zoning plans, local sentiments, geospatial layers, public inquiries, and decades of fragmented documents into a system AI can reason over reliably.

Our founders combine real estate expansion, regulatory expertise, and frontier AI engineering experience from Tesla, Deloitte Real Estate, Cleary Gottlieb, Greenomy (exited), Harvard, and McKinsey. We're backed by Seedcamp, Kima Ventures, TinyVC, and angels from ElevenLabs, real estate executives and unicorn repeat founders.

We're hiring Founding AI Engineers.

You'll work directly with the founders. No layers. No middle management. You'll own real systems, solve problems with no existing playbook, speak with users, and ship constantly. We hire for raw intelligence, velocity, and hunger to build.
