About the role

  • Own our AI implementation at Upvest: Identify where AI creates the most leverage across the business, help select and integrate the right tooling, and ship solutions that teams actually use.
  • Work as in-house AI consultant and with each Upvenger: Work 1:1 with others across the business, from engineers to operations to client facing teams, helping them rethink and optimise how they work with AI.

Requirements

  • AI Native: Hands-on experience shipping AI agents and building end-to-end automations with tools like n8n. You move fast and stay current.
  • MCP experience: You've built or worked with MCP servers and know how to connect LLMs to internal tools, APIs and data sources.
  • Coaching mindset: You've upskilled non-technical teams on AI tooling and driven real adoption — not just built and handed off.
  • Pragmatism: You define ROI, iterate, and ship — you don't over-engineer. A simple deterministic automation beats a complex agent when appropriate.
  • Business acumen: You connect technical work to business outcomes — you think in terms of impact, not just implementation.
  • Stakeholder skills: You can run discovery sessions and present confidently to senior, non-technical audiences.
  • Regulated industry experience: You've worked in fintech or a closely adjacent field and understand compliance constraints first-hand.
  • Background: 5+ years in a scale-up, in roles such as solutions engineer, technical consultant, AI product engineer, or similar.
  • Location: Based in Berlin (mandatory). English required; German a plus.
Benefits
  • Best-in-class AI tools: Every Upvenger has €20,000 per year to spend on the best AI tools available — so you're always working with the most powerful models and tooling on the market.
  • Work with experts: Join a mission-driven engineering team solving hard, real-world problems at the intersection of AI and regulated financial infrastructure.
  • Professional development: Access an annual budget of €1,500 for personal and professional training to master your craft.
  • Wellbeing: Recharge with 30 days of annual leave and maintain a healthy lifestyle with sports benefits. Access confidential professional coaching and enjoy the flexibility to work remotely abroad for up to 183 days a year.
  • Compensation and equity: We believe that all Upvengers contribute to our success and deserve a competitive, above-market salary and a participation in our employee equity program.
  • Flexible work environment: This role is based in Berlin. We are committed to flexibility — we understand you don't always have to be in the office to do your best work.
  • Team celebrations: Participate in company-wide events such as UpFest, dinners, offsites and our holiday party to connect with colleagues and celebrate our achievements.
