Founding AI Product Engineer (LLM + UX)

Festanstellung, Vollzeit · Frankfurt am Main

About The Role And Potential Progression

We’re building a new product to solve one of the biggest challenges facing enterprises in the next decade: capturing and preserving expert knowledge before it’s lost to retirement.

As a Founding AI Product Engineer, you’ll take ownership of a brand-new product at the intersection of AI, UX, and knowledge management. You’ll design, prototype, and validate an AI-driven system that interviews subject matter experts (SMEs), captures their tacit knowledge, and transforms it into professional documentation — all with the help of state-of-the-art LLMs.

You’ll work directly with internal stakeholders and pilot customers to understand needs, test hypotheses, and ship early versions fast. This is a rare opportunity to own a high-impact product from zero to one.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME

What to expect from us – for doers with high standards

• Performance-based participation: You're not just part of the journey – you directly benefit from it. Our performance-based bonuses are paid out quarterly and reward real impact, not just activity.
• Impact over politics: You’ll work in an environment where facts matter more than egos. You get the freedom to act entrepreneurially – and the responsibility to be measured by your results.
• Growth at eye level: Personal development doesn’t stop at leadership level. Whether it’s individual coaching, sparring sessions with the leadership team, or access to premium learning resources – you're not only investing in the company, the company invests in you.
• A culture of real excellence: Here, you work alongside ambitious people in a multi-award-winning company. We create space for performance, trust, and appreciation – no BS.
• Flexible work, clear expectations: Remote or on-site – what counts is your contribution to the outcome. You shape your workday independently within a clear framework of goals.
• Strategic momentum point: We’re at a pivotal moment: with a market-ready product, a clear positioning, and a setup built for scale. The coming months will be all about momentum, growth, and real progress – the perfect time to jump in and help shape what’s next.

How you can make an impact

• Design and implement the AI interview process, using LLMs (via Azure OpenAI) to dynamically ask meaningful questions and capture deep expertise.
• Build or orchestrate a transcript-to-training pipeline that uses prompt engineering and iteration to convert interview content into high-quality knowledge base articles.
• Conduct user interviews with SMEs and knowledge managers to validate needs, improve UX, and refine prompting strategies.
• Own the end-to-end prototype or MVP, integrating audio recording, transcription, LLM APIs, and a simple frontend/editor interface.
• Collaborate with our product and dev team on goals, experiments, and roadmap — you’ll be the hands-on builder and product thinker in one.

Skills to be successful

• Have hands-on experience with LLMs. You know how to craft prompts, test outputs, and iterate.
• Are product-minded — you think in terms of user needs, flows, and value, not just code.
• Have experience with user research, interviews, or at least deep curiosity about how real users think.
• Can work autonomously, take initiative, and communicate clearly.
• Bonus: experience in knowledge transfer / knowledge management.
