München, Bayern, Deutschland Subtrace Vollzeit 120.000 € - 180.000 € Vertrag

We're building Subtrace: an AI-native layer that automatically captures tasks activity and reconstructs it as structured process data: tasks, workflows, bottlenecks, and automation candidates. No integrations. No manual modeling. Just a the data layer that understands work.

As our Founding Engineer, you're not joining a team - you're building it. You own the core architecture, make the hard technical calls, and ship things that work. This is a zero-to-one role.

What we are looking for:

5+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity

Strong background in one or more of: computer vision, real-time video/screen processing, ML inference pipelines, or event stream processing

Experience with Python (core stack) and TypeScript (optional but valued)

Comfortable with ambiguity you can take a problem statement and produce a working prototype

Ability to design systems that are modular and scalable from day one

You've shipped production software end-to-end, not just contributed to it

Nice-to-have:

Experience with OCR, UI element detection, or activity recognition

Familiarity with process mining concepts (event logs, Petri nets, conformance checking)

RPA tooling knowledge (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or similar)

Prior experience at an early-stage startup (pre-Series A)

Responsibilities:

Core capture engine: screen recording, click/input detection, visual diffing

AI pipeline: segmentation of raw activity into tasks, steps, and variants

Data model: schema for tasks, workflows, process trees, and metadata

Infrastructure: real-time processing, storage, and API layer

Hiring bar: your code sets the standard for every engineer who joins after you

Why this role:

Founding equity not token options, real co-founder-adjacent stake

Full technical ownership from day one

Direct line to the CEO no layers, no bureaucracy

Solving a problem that hasn't been cracked without integrations or log access
