THE OPPORTUNITY

LLMs are fundamentally changing analytical work. Capabilities that once required large teams of highly paid data engineers are becoming accessible to smaller companies for the first time.

At Palantir, we delivered real data and BI value, but deployments never scaled without expensive, hands-on engineers. We believe LLMs change this. Zeit AI is building the agentic machinery to unblock Europe's SMEs: agents that understand any business, integrate its data sources, and give operators applications for problems nobody predicted.

As a Product Engineer, you treat ZeitMind as your product. You shape how non-technical users work with data, workflows, and agents. The role is about making product decisions under uncertainty, building durable foundations, and iterating directly from real usage. You operate end to end: form assumptions, ship production systems, validate outcomes, refine direction based on what actually works.

YOU WILL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

  • are comfortable working without predefined specs
  • take full ownership of outcomes, from idea to production to user impact
  • think in systems and products; code is a means to build leverage, not the goal
  • form strong assumptions, test them quickly, and discard them when reality disagrees
  • care deeply about how users actually work and design accordingly
  • want to build foundations early rather than optimize mature systems
  • bring strong full-stack experience; TypeScript and React are required
  • are comfortable owning data-heavy production systems end to end
  • are genuinely interested in the data and agentic space and how LLMs enable new workflows for non-technical users

REQUIREMENTS

  • 3-5 years of strong full-stack experience; TypeScript and React required
  • English C1 or above; German a plus
  • Munich preferred, hybrid possible with 1 to 2 weeks per month in Munich; we pay for your full relocation

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Munich is our hub. We build the team around in-person work and pay for your full relocation. Hybrid options are possible.
  • Regular San Francisco offsites for product sprints and staying close to the frontier.
  • Whatever makes you faster, you get. Best tools, zero blockers.
  • Food on us: daily lunch allowance and free in-office dinner. Wellpass on top.
  • €5k referral bonus for every successful hire.

TECH STACK

TypeScript end to end. React frontend with Mantine, TanStack Router, and TanStack Query. Backend on Bun with Postgres and Supabase.

APPLY

Still apply if you do not match every requirement. If you are exceptional in core areas and learn fast, we want to talk.
