Senior/Staff Product Engineer (m/f/x)

• We’re Cortea , a Berlin startup transforming audits with AI . Manual, document-heavy audits waste expert time while demand keeps rising. Our AI-powered software and specialized AI agents remove the repetitive work so auditors can focus on judgment.
• Backed by top-tier VCs with >15m funding, with a working product and paying customers, we’re rapidly scaling.
• We value first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness . We build side by side in our Berlin office .

• We're looking for an experienced engineer who's happy anywhere in the stack and turns complex audit workflows into product auditors rely on every day. You pick up whatever a problem needs, from the data model to the interface to the agents behind it.
• A lot of what we build has no reference implementation. You're comfortable wading into something nobody has solved yet and shipping a first version that actually works.
• Our engineering team is a small, flat group of builders : strong ICs who open a laptop when they see a problem instead of scheduling a meeting. Everyone owns real product and architecture decisions, and that's exactly what we want more of.

Build the interfaces auditors work in, partnering with design to turn complex flows into something that feels effortless

Build and improve the agents at the core of the product, plus the harnesses and eval pipelines around them

Make the long-running workflows behind the product reliable and debuggable, so failures surface fast inst
