About the role

Founding Full-Stack Engineer Build the software systems around planqor.ai: the real-time decision layer that steers discrete manufacturing when production plans get disrupted. Born on the shop floor, co-founded by senior production experts, and with direct access to high-impact industry problems. Work directly with our CTO and shape a greenfield product spanning Python backend, data, visualization, frontend, infrastructure, and integration with our optimization core. Backed by investors who have built and scaled successful companies. Remote-first or from our office in Munich, competitive pay + VSOP, no puzzle interviews. The opportunity Factories have invested billions in automation, yet production is still steered largely by people. Every night, a plan is computed for the next day, and the first disruption makes it obsolete. From then on, planners and shift leads juggle dependencies by hand. That is expensive, rarely optimal, and wastes much of what these factories were built for. We are building the layer that takes over when the plan gets disrupted. It connects to factory data, models production, detects disruptions and bottlenecks as they emerge, simulates responses and recommends the best one. About us planqor.ai was born on the shop floor. Our founding team brings deep production expertise, strong industry networks. We have the runway to build deliberately and the experience of people who have built and scaled successful companies before. On the technical side, we combine deep algorithmic and software-engineering competence with modern optimization methods, GenAI-assisted development and fast, pragmatic iteration. We are in stealth and very early, which means you can shape much of what comes next. What you'll own The product layer: Turn complex optimization systems into software planners can actually use. Backend and data: Build Python services, APIs, data models, and pipelines around our optimization engine. Interfaces and visualization: Make schedules, bottlenecks, dependencies, and alternative decisions understandable and interactive. Integration: Connect native C++ components, factory data, and product workflows into one coherent system. Infrastructure: Own CI/CD, containers, deployment, observability, and the supporting services we need. The team: Grow into leading software engineering at planqor.ai as we scale: hiring, mentoring, and setting direction. You set your own priorities and structure your work toward clear goals. No ticket queue, no micromanagement. How we build Our product sits at the boundary between algorithms, software systems, and real industrial operations. We care about building systems that are easy to integrate, responsive, understandable, and maintainable as both the product and the underlying algorithms evolve. We use GenAI extensively to prototype, implement, and explore alternatives. But generating code is not the hard part. The value lies in designing the right system, choosing good abstractions, validating beh
