Software Engineer - Founding Team (Ex-Founder/CTO)

<p>We are eliminating the finance back-office as we know it. Quid builds AI agents that automate the finance back-office for e-commerce companies and multi-location operators. We handle invoice processing, ERP posting, settlement reconciliation, and approval routing — running as a managed service for clients across Germany, Netherlands, UK, and the US. We are a small, fast-moving team of operators and builders.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p><strong>The Role</strong></p>
<p>We are looking for a product-minded early engineer who can own projects end-to-end across the full stack. You will work directly with the founder, talk to clients, and build the product hundreds of clients use every day. This is not a ticket-following role. You will be expected to spot problems, suggest solutions, and move fast.</p>
<p><strong>What you will work on</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Build core product features end-to-end, from idea to production — frontend, backend, and everything in between.</li>
<li>Take full ownership of projects: scope, architecture, implementation, and rollout.</li>
<li>Build and improve backend services, data pipelines, and integrations with ERPs, payment platforms, and external APIs.</li>
<li>Build and refine the interfaces clients interact with daily.</li>
<li>Jump onto critical initiatives and unblock them fast.</li>
<li>Work closely with the founder to shape what we build next.</li>
<li>Talk to clients. You will understand why you are building something before you build it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p><strong>What we are looking for</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Product instinct: you think about the user before you think about the implementation.</li>
<li>Senior/Staff level experience in early-stage startup engineering teams, or ex-founder/CTO.</li>
<li>Strong across the full stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js on the frontend; Python and FastAPI on the backend.</li>
<li>Experience with Supabase or similar Postgres-backed infrastructure — you can design schemas, write migrations, and debug queries.</li>
<li>Familiarity with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or AI agent frameworks.</li>
<li>You have shipped and operated production systems, not just built them.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<p><strong>What we offer</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Meaningful early stage equity and compensation</li>
<li>The chance to build something that is genuinely hard and genuinely useful</li>
<li>Remote-friendly with occasional in-person time in Berlin</li>
</ul>
