About this role

Salary: CHF 140'000 - 150'000 per year

Requirements:
  • Demonstrated ability to own and ship end-to-end features independently, from backend services to polished React interfaces, ideally as an early or founding engineer at a startup.
  • Solid hands-on experience with Python on the backend and TypeScript/React/Tailwind on the frontend.
  • Practical knowledge of integrating and orchestrating LLM providers, building AI pipelines, and managing state machines in production environments.
  • Ability to talk directly to customers, identify problems, and translate them into shipped solutions fast.
  • You know when to build the right abstraction and when to just ship. You take full accountability for everything you build, from Terraform to UI.
Responsibilities:
  • Build sleek React interfaces that make complex AI agents intuitive for non technical users.
  • Architect and maintain Python services that orchestrate LLMs, handle state machines and integrate with legacy infrastructure
  • Own the full vertical of every feature you ship, from infrastructure and backend logic to frontend and deployment.
  • Act as the bridge between AI capabilities and real world workflows, turning messy email based processes into clean automated transactions.
  • Manage and evolve the orchestration layer that enables AI agents to negotiate, quote, and execute high-value travel bookings autonomously
  • Contribute to infrastructure decisions on AWS using Docker, from initial Terraform scripts to production reliability
