The posting

TL;DR

- After 14 years in construction tech, Lea & Jonas are building the AI foundation for the construction industry

- 6 of the 20 largest construction companies in the German-speaking region already rely on Kuro every day, representing over €40bn in combined annual construction volume

- Construction has some of the most complex, unstructured data you can throw at an LLM. At Kuro, you can tackle some of the hardest problems in applied AI every day

ABOUT US

Lea https://www.linkedin.com/in/lea-leibold/ and Jonas https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonas-minkler/ scaled two of Europe's leading construction tech companies - Capmo and alcemy - and saw firsthand the challenges holding the industry back. Now they're tackling the root cause: the 50% of construction work still lost to manual data handling.

Kuro is building the AI foundation for construction. We're reimagining how construction professionals get work done and make decisions by leveraging AI to augment back-office workflows and make core data accessible. We are not pursuing marginal improvements, but a step change for construction.

After one year on the market, leading construction enterprises with a combined annual construction volume of >€40 billion use Kuro every day to automate workflows and make faster, better decisions. Backed by an €10 million seed round, we already process more than 1 million pages every month and expect that volume to grow 10x over the next six months.

We are 15 people based in Berlin. You will join a group of technical ex-founders and builders who are ambitious and kind.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You'll own new AI automation use cases end-to-end - from understanding the customer's world to shipping production-ready solutions on Kuro's platform within weeks. This is not a pure backend role, and not classic consulting either. It's a high-ownership position where you work directly with enterprise stakeholders to build something real.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Turn ambiguous customer problems into scoped, buildable solutions — then ship them

- Build with modern applied AI (LLMs, agentic workflows, vision models, embeddings, heuristics) to solve high-impact problems

- Design data pipelines for document ingestion, extraction, validation, and orchestration on top of Kuro's platform abstractions

- Identify recurring patterns across projects and codify them into reusable templates

- Balance speed, accuracy, and pragmatism — and know when to keep a human in the loop

- Help shape the technical direction of both the product and the company

As one of our first forward deployed engineering hires, you'll have significant influence on how we build, what we build, and how fast we move.

PAST PROJECTS YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF

- LLM extraction agent for interior estimation

Built a PoC that extracts quantities from unstructured documents, saving ~4 days of work per project.

- Subcontractor KYC automation

Developed an internal app to automate KYC checks, reducing manual effort by ~50%.

- LLM-based Bill of Quantities parsing

Created a parser that structures complex BoQs automatically, saving hours per day for procurement managers.

- Construction ontologies with enterprise customers

Co-developed interior and shell construction ontologies that power downstream AI automation.

CURRENT TECH STACK

It is still day 0 for Kuro. Therefore, we are highly pragmatic with our tool choices. We believe in keeping it simple and moving quickly. You significantly help shape our tech stack decisions.

- Web-App: Typescript

- Database / Vector DB and File Storage: AWS RDS / Trubopuffer / AWS S3

- Backend: Fastify API + Prisma ORM

- Workflow Orchestrator: Prefect (Python)

- Hosting: AWS Elastic Beanstalk

- AI: Azure / OpenAI, Gemini, Cohere, AWS

- Obsv., Eval. & Tracking: Langfuse, Datadog

YOUR PROFILE

This role is ideal for a hungry and talented software engineer or data scientist seeking close customer exposure in an early-stage company building a high-impact applied AI product. You enjoy taking ownership, moving fast, and building things end-to-end.

- Have 2+ years of experience as a software engineer or data scientist

- Are comfortable owning problems end-to-end

- Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

- Are pragmatic and biased toward action

- Enjoy working directly with customers and like to visit them on site

- Are excited about applied AI, not just theory

- Can clearly explain trade-offs and decisions

- You are at least able to speak C1 german

BONUS POINTS

- Experience in early-stage startups or founding teams

- Prior experience with customer-facing roles

- Experience with unstructured data and ontologies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
