Founding Software Engineer (AI Finance Apps)| €55k-75k + €15k-48k Equity | Hamburg (hybrid)

What we're building

In 2026, companies across Europe have €1.4Trillion tied up in excess working capital. EY estimates that up to 5% of earnings are lost due to revenue leakage.

Transformance is building the AI-native Revenue Recovery Platform for Enterprises. We're replacing decades-old workflows in Order-to-Cash (O2C) with intelligent, agentic automation that actually works all-the while dealing with the messiness of fragmented enterprise data and workflows.

We're at the 0-to-1 stage. The platform is live, enterprise customers are paying, and we're profitable. Now we need engineers who want to build the foundation of what comes next.

Tasks

What you'll build

• Data ingestion and processing layers

• Modular, reusable code architecture

• AI agent workflows and automation modules

• API-driven integrations with ERP and finance systems

• Customer-facing applications that handle enterprise complexity

Requirements

What you bring

Must-have

• Strong JavaScript or TypeScript

• Experience building and integrating APIs

• Ability to turn ambiguous business problems into clean technical solutions

• Comfort working across the full stack when needed

Valuable, but learnable

• AI tooling (OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, LangChain, agent frameworks)

• Cloud platforms (Vercel, AWS)

• Enterprise systems (SAP, Ariba, Coupa, Dynamics)

• React

• Basic understanding of finance or procurement processes

Who thrives here

• You prefer building to maintaining

• You're building something, not just working somewhere

• You want ownership - real stake, real influence, real accountability

• You're energized by ambiguity and ownership

• You move fast, learn faster

• You want to look back in five years and say "I built that"

Benefits

The opportunity

You'd be joining as our first engineering hire. That means

• Architecting core platform infrastructure

• Working directly with founders who've spent 10+ years in finance and enterprise systems

• Building for multinationals from day one - not demos, not pilots, real production workloads

• Shaping product direction, technical decisions, and company culture

We've secured €200k in non-dilutive IFB funding and are targeting a Pre-Seed round in 2026. The runway is there. The foundation is there. The customers are there. What's missing is the engineering team to scale it.

• Intro call (30 min, remote): Quick fit check

• Founder deep-dive (remote): Product vision, customers, what this role really means

• Technical conversation (remote): Your past work, practical problem-solving, lightweight system design

• Half-day onsite in Hamburg: Pair on real work, whiteboard the roadmap, meet the teamDecision: Fast, clean, no drawn-out loops
