You will be hands-on in designing, building, and optimizing systems that power our AI agents and data-driven products. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership, and is eager to contribute to innovative solutions in a rapidly growing company.
At Talonic, we value learning and innovation. You will have all the support and guidance you need but will also be encouraged to experiment, explore, and find solutions that align with our vision.

- API Development & Maintenance: Design, implement, and maintain APIs to support AI-powered platforms and tools.
- Database Management: Utilize and manage MongoDB and ChromaDB for handling large datasets efficiently. You'll closely work with a senior data engineer on that.

- Bonus Points: Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is highly desirable.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience as a Software Developer or in a similar role, preferably within AI or tech start-ups. We are open to this being your first senior position if you can demonstrate your experience and determination.
- Proven experience in building and managing AI agents, ideally using LangChain.
- Strong background in full-stack development with expertise in the MEAN Stack.
- Solid experience with API design, development, and maintenance.

- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Fluent in English.
Benefits:
- Salary: Based on experience, with the opportunity for a significant increase after our next fundraising round.
- Equity Options: Expect a generous equity program, ensuring that you get a stake in the company that makes our overall success also your personal success.
- Remote Work: This is a hybrid position, offering the flexibility to work remotely with the option to use our office at Humboldt University or at K.I.E.Z. in Berlin. Some in-person attendance is required for team meetings and occasional start-up or industry events.
- Location: The hire needs to be located in Berlin or within close, physical proximity.
- Growth Opportunity: Gain deep insights into all aspects of the business and take your career to the next level. Be a part of a fast-growing start-up where you can make a real impact. We are open to this being your first senior position and to involve you in each future software development hire, potentially building you to a managerial function if desired. We are also open to you nerding out only by yourself on data for the forseeable future.
- Supportive Culture: We promote a safe, inclusive, and supportive work environment where everyone's ideas are valued, and we avoid micro-management.
