About the role

  • Build and ship new product features for Taktile’s AI agent platform, from idea to production.
  • Own backend work end-to-end: collaborate on scope, implement, test, release, and iterate based on real usage.
  • Help make agent workflows reliable and easy to use by improving how agents run, how they connect to external tools, and how they behave when something goes wrong.
  • Work closely with Product and Design, using insights from dogfooding and customer feedback to shape what we build next.
  • Raise the quality bar by improving maintainability, clarity, and performance as the platform grows.

Requirements

  • Hybrid role based in Berlin.
  • Fluent English required.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: you can build clean APIs, debug production issues, optimize database queries, and know when to refactor vs. ship.
  • Comfortable operating systems in production and participating in incident response as part of a team rotation.
  • Production experience with Python: you've shipped APIs using FastAPI, Flask, or Django and understand async patterns, error handling, database transactions, and performance optimization.
  • Proficient in REST API design and can create endpoints that scale and maintain over time.
  • Prior industry experience with public cloud providers (preferably AWS).
Benefits
  • Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow.
  • Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members.
  • Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth.
  • Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.
  • Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.
  • Receive a new Apple MacBook Pro, as well as meaningful home office set-up.
