About the role

At Hey Telo, we’re building Voice AI for the Home Service industry. With our customer base growing fast, we’re expanding our engineering team to continue pushing forward and build a best-in-class agentic system.

We’re looking for a Founding Software Engineer to shape the future of how home service providers work in Germany and how people interact with them. In this position, you will play a key role in shaping Hey Telo’s product, technology, and culture from the ground up.

If you are a builder who thrives in full-stack development and cloud technologies - this is your opportunity to set the technical direction from day one.

What you will be working on

Collaborate closely with our customers and help them solve their problems to make their work more enjoyable
Build scalable backend infrastructure to handle thousands of phone calls per day
Build intuitive user experiences in an AI-first world
Optimize our voice agents for reliability, accuracy, and indistinguishability from talking to a real human
Stay ahead of emerging trends in voice AI, LLM agents, and distributed systems

What we're looking for

We are looking for engineers with a strong background in SWE - and the capability to thrive in a founding engineer role.

Technical skills:

Experience in full-stack software engineering (React, Typescript, Python) and cloud technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure)
Expertise in building production-ready features with LLMs
Leverage AI tools that make you more productive (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Commitment and Mindset:

You love challenging work and solving hard problems where others give up.
You have full ownership from day one and aren’t afraid to push hard.

We’re looking for German-speaking candidates, as we talk to and visit (German) customers every day.

Why join now?

You’ll be one of the first hires - your fingerprints will be all over Hey Telo, and your equity will reflect that.
You’ll have direct exposure to the founders, customers, and product decisions.
