Join the Team
No corporate hierarchy. No performance theatre. Work that requires precision, curiosity, and the ability to be wrong without drama.
How We Work
Careful Work
We do not ship things we do not understand. Correctness matters more than speed. Technical debt is a choice, not an accident.
AI-Augmented by Default
Everyone on the team is expected to build with AI tools, not just use them. We run an active internal programme for AI-augmented workflows across all roles.
Intellectual Honesty
We are building something genuinely novel. That means being wrong regularly, updating beliefs based on evidence, and not defending positions past their expiry date.
Who We're Looking For
We don't have specific positions posted at the moment. We're a small team and hire when we meet the right person — so for now we accept speculative applications only. Below is the general profile we're always glad to hear from — we hire across seniority. If it sounds like you, introduce yourself.
Department: Engineering & Product · Full-time · Hybrid
What You'd Work On
You'd be a hands-on contributor helping to design, build, and ship xzeptiq's core platform and its AI-driven features — from "vibe coding" and experimenting with LLMs and agents to production-ready software, data pipelines, enterprise integrations, and system architecture. You'd work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders (ex-Google, 60+ years combined IT experience), turning strategic business needs into robust, secure, production-ready solutions. We hire across seniority — from early-career engineers who learn fast and love to go deep, to experienced engineers who can own features end-to-end.
What We Look For
Compensation (for reference): For transparency, the collective-agreement minimum (IT-KV) for engineering roles ranges from roughly € 3,175 to € 3,954 gross per month, depending on level and experience. As an early employee, your actual compensation would be custom-tailored — a direct equity stake in the FlexCo combined with a salary component, structurally designed to match your market value and our startup stage. We are explicitly willing to overpay the collective minimum through this combined equity and salary package.
Speculative Applications Only
If you are doing genuinely interesting work in privacy-preserving ML, graph computation, AI engineering, or regulated enterprise transformation, we want to hear from you — regardless of whether a specific role is listed.
Send a speculative application →One honest note: as a small team, we can't always reply to every application quickly — and sometimes not for a while. Please don't read silence as disinterest. We do read what comes in, and we're grateful for your patience and your interest in xzeptiq.
