Job Role: Platform Engineer – AI Startup | Disrupting Hardware
Job Description
This is a rare opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for one of the most ambitious AI/hardware startups in Europe.
Techmunity is exclusively working with a stealth-stage company reimagining how physical things get built — think AI-native workflows for real-world engineers.
Robotics, aerospace, energy — these are the people they’re building for.
The mission:
Give hardware engineers the superpowers software engineers have had for a decade.
10x the speed of design, simulation, and iteration — without consulting, bloated legacy tools, or brittle processes.
Why this role is special:
-
You’re building the core backend infrastructure for a product that will scale across deep-tech industries
-
Work on performance-critical services, agent backends, and secure cloud architecture
-
Collaborate closely with AI engineers to support memory, state, and orchestration layers
You’ll thrive if you:
-
Have 1–3 YOE in platform/backend or devops roles
-
Know your way around Python or Rust, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS
-
Have strong opinions on infrastructure but are pragmatic when shipping MVPs
-
Are excited by the idea of designing systems that support real-world engineers building physical things
Bonus: you have a past life in mech/aero engineering or experience building hardware prototypes
