We care more about what you have built and how you think than about which degree you hold. We hire across business, engineering, hybrid (e.g. business-informatics) and self-taught backgrounds — what we look for is the same.

Mandatory Requirements

1–3 years of work experience (substantive internships count); ideally at a startup or scale-up where you owned end-to-end delivery.
A track record of shipping things end-to-end — side projects you built and ran, internship deliverables that would not have shipped without you, a small business or initiative you started and operated. We care about evidence that you finish what you start.
Operator instinct — when handed a vague brief you ask why the process exists in its current form before you write code. You can sit with a non-technical colleague, watch them work, and reframe the problem cheaper than they framed it.
Coding strong enough to ship — Python is a must. You can read a codebase, structure a small one of your own, write tests, and reason about cost, latency and error handling. You will be asked to build a small working agent as part of our interview process.
Hands-on experience designing and shipping AI agents or LLM-driven workflows in a real environment — not only prototypes. You have integrated a model with at least one external system (an API, a database, a tool).
High agency and bias to ship — you don’t wait for the perfect spec; you find the smallest first version, ship it, and iterate.
C1 English. Comfort working in an English-first office.

Nice-to-haves

Familiarity with at least one agent framework (LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, n8n).
Experience with RAG, vector stores, evals and prompt engineering at a non-trivial level.
Exposure to Google Workspace API, Slack API, Atlassian API or HRIS / payroll APIs.
TypeScript and SQL.
Experience interviewing customers or stakeholders, scoping a product, or selling — anything where you turned what you heard into a working spec.
German (B2+).
Experience in B2C, energy or climate-tech is a bonus, not a requirement.

At Flexa, we are committed to diversity — of all backgrounds and experiences. You don’t need 100% of the preferred qualifications to add incredible value to our team. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.
