[Hiring] Software Engineer @MAIA

Role Description

As a Software Engineer, you develop MAIA further and help decide from the start how we solve problems.

• From concept to feature: Together with product management, you sharpen rough concepts and own features from prototype to continuous improvement based on feedback and usage data.
• Chat and agents: You shape how people work with MAIA: asking questions, providing context and letting agents complete multi-step tasks, with traceable progress and verifiable results.
• Unlocking company knowledge: You connect external systems and make knowledge from many different file formats usable. This way, MAIA finds the right passages, delivers answers with sources and respects existing access rights.
• Models and quality: You integrate new language models and compare quality, cost and speed. With evals, you detect errors and systematically improve answers and agents.
• Secure, fast and stable: You build isolated environments for running code and tools and improve response times and data processing, so that MAIA runs reliably even with large knowledge bases.

Qualifications

• Solid software engineering experience with backend systems.
• Very strong in at least one of our languages: TypeScript, Python or Go.
• Experience in the LLM ecosystem, including RAG, embeddings, vector search and tool calling.
• Ability to measure and evaluate systems effectively.
• Product thinking with a focus on user needs.
• Experience with coding agents and agentic engineering.
• Security-minded with a focus on tenant isolation and secure development.
• Remote-ready with proactive communication skills.
• Clear communication skills, fluent in English; German is a plus.

Requirements

• This role has no people management responsibility.
• Whether you join at regular or senior level will be discussed openly after the technical interview.

Benefits

• Access to the latest frontier models and coding agents.
• Support for training that fits your professional development.
• Access to a Wellpass membership.
• Annual gross salary of €75,000 to €95,000, depending on your level.
• Virtual share in our VSOP.

Application and next steps

You don't need a cover letter. Apply with your CV and answer one question: Why do you want to help shape MAIA? Your own perspective is what counts.

If there's a fit, you'll have a 30-minute intro call, a 90-minute technical interview, and a final conversation with our management. You'll usually hear from us within two business days after each step. Our goal is a decision in about three weeks.
