Founding Engineer

pstrongNOTE: We sponsor B permits for EU/EFTA residents Claude Max subscription /strong /p pIf you think AI is a gimmick, this role isn't for you. /p pIf you think AI can replace great engineers, this role isn't for you either. /p p---- /p pWe believe AI doesn't create talent. It amplifies it. /p pUsed poorly, it generates an exponential amount of technical debt. /p pUsed well, it becomes a team of eager junior engineers capable of executing at machine speed. /p pThe quality of the outcome depends on how well you organize them, guide them, and review their work. /p p---- /p pWe're building Lonio, an AI-native backoffice outsourcing service for Swiss finance HR. /p pMost companies see AI as a product opportunity. /p pWe do too. /p pBut we believe the bigger opportunity lies in execution. /p pThe companies that master AI-native engineering and product development will build faster, learn faster, and out-execute competitors still operating with traditional processes. /p pThat's the company we're building. /p pNot just an AI product company. An AI-native service company. /p pWant to know how to build it? a Watch this /a. /p pThis is not a classical start-up, we are a spin-off out of BLP Digital, the fastest-growing AI scale-up in Europe. /p h2Tasks /h2 pYou should be excited by /p ul liBuilding a product that automates complex compliance workflows. /li liFiguring out how AI changes the way software is built. /li /ul pYou'll work directly with the senior founders to tackle both. /p pSome problems will look like product engineering. /p pSome will look like AI engineering. Some will look a lot like research. /p pYou'll help us build product features, improve AI-powered workflows, and continuously push the boundary of what can be automated. /p pAs we grow, you'll help shape the product, the architecture, and the engineering culture of the company. /p h2Requirements /h2 pWe're less interested in your credentials than your trajectory. /p pWe don't have a predefined model of what a great engineer looks like. /p pGreat engineers come from different backgrounds, think differently, and solve problems differently. /p pWhat matters to us is that you: /p ul liAre excited by the idea that AI is changing how software is built. /li liHave strong engineering fundamentals. /li liLearn quickly. /li liTake ownership. /li liEnjoy solving difficult problems. /li liCare about outcomes more than titles. /li liWant to build one of the first Swiss AI-native service companies, not just a product. /li liAre customer-oriented, product-driven, understand the business domain, and make it a first-class citizen of the engineering work. /li /ul pIf you're unsure whether you qualify, we'd still encourage you to apply. /p h2Benefits /h2 ul liBe the first engineer after the founders. /li liShape the product, architecture, and engineering culture from day one. /li liReceive equity options and participate directly in the value you help create. /li liJoin a company with paying customers, a working MVP, and strong early market validation. /li liOperate in a market sized at CHF 3 billion annually in Switzerland alone. /li liHelp build a company designed from day one to be AI-native service. /li /ul pWe're flexible on titles, backgrounds, and compensation structures. /p pA final note from the CTO. /p pOne thing I've learned is that engineering problems are often easier than organizational problems. /p pMany engineers spend years working around unclear requirements of business teams that don't fully understand the problems they're trying to solve. /p pThat's not the situation here. Our CEO knows the domain, knows the customers, knows the problems. /p pIf you're looking for a startup where engineering and business genuinely work hand in hand, you might enjoy working with us. /p pCheers, Lauriane Nick /pbrpAI-native backoffice outsourcing service. /p pBuilt for Swiss finance HR backoffice teams. /p pMostly SMEs with 30-1'000 employees with digital workflows. /p
