Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Own connic's technical direction and grow the engineering team behind the platform companies run their AI agents on.

Full-timeHybrid, Munich€120,000 – €150,000 a yearVSOP

connic is the platform engineering teams use to build, deploy and operate AI agents in production: a code-first SDK, a managed runtime, connectors, EU-hosted models, observability and governance in one place. As CTO you own how all of it fits together, and the team that builds it.

What you'll do

Set the technical direction of the platform, from the agent runtime to the dashboard, and make the trade-offs explicit.
Hire and lead the engineering team, with a culture of small, reviewed changes that ship every day.
Keep the platform secure, reliable and EU-compliant as usage grows, including on-call, incident reviews and security reviews.
Work directly with customers' engineering teams on architecture questions and bring what you learn into the roadmap.
Work in the code yourself, especially in the first year.

What you bring

Several years building and running production systems, some of them leading engineers.
Depth in backend and distributed systems. Python and TypeScript are what we use most.
Experience with the security, reliability and compliance requirements of B2B customers.
Hands-on experience building with LLMs and AI agents.
You use AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT every day and know agentic coding inside out: coding agents like Claude Code are part of how you work, and you know how to steer and review what they produce.
Clear written communication in English. German is a plus.
