Job Description

About the role

We are looking for a Product Engineer Intern to join our team, focused on building and optimizing the next generation of AI-powered enterprise finance tools. As part of the engineering team, you will play a central role in shaping dedicated features and helping some of the world’s largest companies eliminate their manual accounting work.

You’ll work side-by-side with our founders and engineers to turn ideas into high-performing, elegant features that slot seamlessly into our customers’ existing processes. Your work will directly define how finance teams experience AI automation - in real life, at scale.

We’re headquartered in Munich, with roots in San Francisco through Y Combinator.

What you’ll do

  • Take ownership of a defined feature area or technical project, working closely with founders and engineers from discovery to delivery.
  • Help improve model performance and workflow quality by testing, evaluating results, and iterating on prompts/data/logic.
  • Contribute to frontend and backend development (React, Node) to deliver smooth, reliable user experiences.
  • Assist with debugging, monitoring, and improving reliability of AI-powered workflows in real-world customer scenarios.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

  • Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with strong academic performance.
  • Solid JavaScript/TypeScript skills with experience in React and Next.js.
  • Backend expertise in Node.js or comparable languages like Python or Go, with a focus on scalable APIs and AI-driven services.
  • Exposure to AI models and APIs (e.g., LLMs), and excitement to experiment, evaluate, and integrate them into real products.
  • A builder’s mindset - enjoys shipping and learning quickly
  • Structured problem-solver with clear communication skills, comfortable working closely with founders in a fast-moving environment.

Benefits

  • An environment where we enable you to have an impact and where we focus on outcomes, not time-tracking
  • Career-defining growth: Big ambitions mean rapid progression, expanding responsibilities, and access to our San Francisco & YC network.
  • Shape your future job: You got a chance to build your own job entry
  • 25 vacation days + 2 fixed “company recharge days.”
  • A vibrant in-office culture (5 days/week) in a modern office
