Über diesen Job
Intro
At Maxmove, we're building a full-stack AI logistics platform that transforms the way goods move. We are creating the operating system for logistics — a digital infrastructure that makes transporting goods as seamless and connected as the internet. Starting in Germany, we are laying the foundation for smarter and more efficient logistics.
If you enjoy 0→1 building, are a great engineer, and want to have real impact in shaping a generational company, you should join us.
Tasks
As Founding Engineer, you’ll play a key role in building Maxmove.
- Own core product development: design and implement backend services, APIs, and architecture for Maxmove’s logistics platform.
- Manage infrastructure: databases, event bus, cloud deployments, monitoring, and CI/CD.
- Collaborate on technical roadmap, product direction, and architecture decisions.
- Rapidly prototype and validate features (AI-based matchmaking, route optimization, demand prediction).
- Hire and mentor the first engineers as the team grows.
- Establish engineering culture, best practices, and documentation from the ground up.
Requirements
- Strong engineering background with 3+ years of hands-on software development experience (startup or 0→1 experience a big plus).
- Proficiency in backend development (Go, Node.js/TypeScript) and solid understanding of APIs, databases, and distributed systems.
- Infrastructure: cloud deployments (AWS/GCP/Azure), Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and event-driven systems.
- Full-stack mindset — willing to work across backend, frontend (React/ Expo RN), and data pipelines when needed.
- Excited by the idea of using AI, real-time data, and optimization to reshape logistics and solve one of the biggest efficiency problems in Europe.
- Ownership mentality & hardcore work ethic — you take responsibility, move fast, and push through challenges.
- Problem solver who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and figures things out independently.
Benefits
- Growth – you’ll define your role and grow into leadership as the company scales.
- Beautiful office in the heart of Cologne (Innodom)– designed for focus, creativity, and collaboration.
- Compensation & equity stake
- A front-row seat to building a generational company
- High autonomy & fast decision-making – No bureaucracy, move fast, own outcomes.
- 0→1 startup environment – work on hard problems, build things from scratch, and see your impact.
