<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <p><strong><strong>👋 About Us</strong></strong></p><p><span>Otera (</span><span>otera.ai</span><span>) is an agentic-native and purpose-built platform for global enterprises such as Allianz, Siemens, Bayer, and Zurich to build, deploy, and manage Autonomous AI Agents- turning manual, fragmented processes into autonomous operations at scale. </span></p><p><span>Otera's agents handle end-to-end business processes: reasoning across complex documents, scaling consistent high-quality decisions based on intricate business rules, and operationalizing tribal knowledge that traditionally lived only in the heads of experienced staff.</span></p><p><span>With €15 million raised in a Series A funding round co-led by </span><strong><strong>Red River West,</strong></strong><span> </span><strong><strong>Alpha Intelligence Capital</strong></strong><span>, and </span><strong><strong>Hoxton Ventures,</strong></strong><span> and the support of existing investors </span><strong><strong>Lunar Ventures</strong></strong><span> and </span><strong><strong>Stride VC</strong></strong><span>, we are accelerating our vision to become the go-to provider for AI-driven automation solutions across the globe.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><strong><strong>💼 Role and Responsibilities:</strong></strong></p><p><span>In this role, you'll own the core services that sit between our agent runtime and the rest of the platform: orchestration, document ingestion pipelines, vector and structured stores, queues, observability, and the APIs our customers' systems integrate with. The work is a mix of building new capabilities and making existing systems hold up under order-of-magnitude traffic growth without sacrificing latency, correctness, or audibility. </span></p><p><span>You’ll shape how a fast-growing platform handles its next 10–100× of traffic, rather than maintaining a mature one. The workload is genuinely novel, spanning agent-driven, document-heavy, cross-tenant, and regulated environments. The engineering organization is still small enough that senior individual contributors set direction, not just execute.</span></p><p><span>You should expect to:</span></p><ul><li><span>Design and ship services that handle high-throughput, high-fan-out agent workloads across multiple customer tenants</span></li><li><span>Diagnose and remove bottlenecks in data pipelines, queues, databases, and LLM/vision-model call paths</span></li><li><span>Harden the platform for regulated deployment: tenant isolation, audit trails, deterministic replay, confidence scoring</span></li><li><span>Own services end-to-end: architecture, rollout, SLOs, on-call, postmortems</span></li><li><span>Mentor mid-level engineers and raise the bar on design reviews and code reviews<br/><br/></span></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong><strong>😊 About You</strong></strong></p><ul><li><span>6+ years building and operating production distributed systems at scale (millions of requests/day, or equivalent transactional workloads)</span></li><li><span>Strong production experience with Python and TypeScript- the two languages the platform is built in</span></li><li><span>Deep experience with at least two of: Postgres at scale, Kafka/Pulsar/SQS-class messaging, Redis, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, a vector DB (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant)</span></li><li><span>Production experience on Azure, GCP, and/or AWS, including multi-tenant and customer-tenant deployment models</span></li><li><span>Fluency with Kubernetes, IaC, and modern CI/CD</span></li><li><span>Experience shipping in a regulated environment (finance, insurance, healthcare, or similar) - or a strong signal that you'd thrive there</span></li><li><span>Based in Europe and able to overlap comfortably with an European working day<br/><br/></span></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong><strong>Nice to have</strong></strong></p><ul><li><span>Experience with LLM/agent runtimes, tool-use orchestration, evals, or prompt/context engineering in production</span></li><li><span>Exposure to OCR, document understanding, or computer vision pipelines</span></li><li><span>Prior role at an enterprise-B2B company selling into financial services or insurance</span></li><li><span>Open-source contributions in the infra, data, or LLM space</span></li><li><span>Enthusiasm for co-creating a modern Continuous Delivery environment grounded in trunk-based development, TDD, and pair/ensemble programming.<br/><br/></span></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong><strong>Motivated for the Agentic Coding age</strong></strong></p><p><span>Otera is an agentic company building agentic software, and we expect our engineers to use AI coding agents as a core part of how they work- not as a novelty. You should be comfortable driving Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or similar in real workflows: decomposing work for agents, reviewing their output critically, writing specs that agents can execute against, and knowing when to take the keyboard back. </span></p><p><span>Candidates who are skeptical of LLMs in engineering workflows are welcome to apply, but the bar for "I've tried it and here's what I learned" is much higher than "I haven't really used it."</span></p><p><br/></p><p><strong><strong>⛳️ Compensation, Perks &amp; Benefits</strong></strong></p><ul><li><span>Remote Work &amp; Culture: Enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere.</span></li><li><span>Be among the first 90 to revolutionize industry standards and be part of the next unicorn.</span></li><li><span>Gain access to top-tier advisors and investors in their fields.</span></li><li><span>Work with high-quality, state-of-the-art equipment.</span></li><li><span>Competitive Salary Package<br/><br/></span></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><em>We value diversity and promote it through empathy and respect. We assess based on professional skills, not on social background, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or skin colour.</em></p><p><strong><strong>Looking forward to receiving your application!</strong></strong></p><p><br/></p> </div>
