What you'll do

  • Talk to users, join customer meetings and analyze usage data to find where MAIA helps most, working closely with Product Management and Customer Success.
  • Write concepts, build prototypes to test ideas quickly, and scope features so they reach users early.
  • Write the implementation plan, have coding agents implement it, and own architecture and quality from data model to UI.
  • Shape how people work with MAIA: asking questions, giving context, letting agents handle multi-step tasks and tracing results.
  • After release, check whether a feature is used and helps, and develop it further based on feedback, usage data and evals.

What we're looking for

  • Has built and operated products in production that people use daily, across backend and frontend.
  • Very strong in at least one of TypeScript, Python or Go, preferably a statically typed one.
  • Product experience: talked to customers, questioned requirements and accompanied features from first idea to daily use.
  • A feel for good usability and preference for simple solutions people understand.
  • At home in the LLM ecosystem, having built applications with LLMs professionally or in complex own projects.
  • Measures impact with usage data, feedback and evals rather than guessing.
  • Works agentically: coding agents are part of daily work, writes plans others can review and builds on.
  • Communicates clearly; very confident in German and equally in English.
