The Role

Job Title: Product Engineer

Location: Berlin, Germany

Why this role matters

Global supply chains rely on mission-critical workflows that break under manual processes, and we are deploying autonomous AI agents to automate them end-to-end. Joining our engineering team right now means reporting directly to the CTO and shaping the foundational architecture of our core product. Without you, we cannot accelerate customer feedback loops into high-velocity, production-grade agentic features.

What you'll do

Full-stack product delivery from customer discovery through to deploying robust distributed systems and autonomous agent workflows.

• Architect, build, and deploy reliable full-stack applications using TypeScript, Node.js, React, and MongoDB.
• Design, test, and iterate on production LLM prompts, agentic workflows, and evaluation pipelines.
• Engage directly with enterprise logistics users to identify core operational pain points and translate them into shipped features.
• Implement modern observability, monitoring, and performance tracking across distributed services using Datadog.
• Collaborate closely on-site with leadership to rapidly iterate on system architecture and product roadmaps.

Who this is a fit for

• Proven track record shipping production-grade web applications using Node.js, TypeScript, and React.
• Strong background in distributed backend systems, event-driven architecture, and MongoDB data modeling.
• Hands-on experience developing with LLMs, prompt engineering, and agent orchestration pipelines.
• Product-minded engineer who excels at speaking directly to users to solve ambiguous problems.
• Fluent in professional English and thrive working fully on-site with high autonomy.

What it's like to work here

The company operates with a flat hierarchy and high autonomy, keeping formal process light with weekly standups. The team works fully on-site together in Berlin to foster rapid collaboration, tight feedback loops, and high-velocity shipping across product and engineering. Engineers have direct ownership and close proximity to leadership.

The offer

• Direct reporting line to the CTO with immediate technical and product ownership.
• High-velocity engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy and light weekly processes.
• Direct exposure to end users and tangible impact on mission-critical global supply chains.
• A tight-knit, collaborative on-site team environment based in Berlin.

This probably isn't for you if

• You are seeking remote, hybrid, or geographically distributed working arrangements.
• You require rigid, predefined specifications and dislike navigating ambiguous customer problem spaces.
• You prefer working purely on isolated backend tasks without ever interacting with end users.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
