About Us

We're Cortea, a Berlin-based B2B SaaS startup transforming audits through AI technology.

The challenge: Manual audits of unstructured data and documents frustrate both auditors and regulated companies at huge cost, while demand for audits continues to skyrocket.

Our solution: AI-powered software and specialized AI-agents for auditors streamlining workflows and eliminating all repetitive tasks. Starting with IT audits for regulated companies.

With multi-million Euro funding from top-tier VCs, a working AI product, and paying customers, we're now expanding our product and scaling the team.

We value first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and the joy of tackling big challenges together!

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Founding Head of Engineering / CTO to lead our engineering team, architect our technical foundation, contribute hands-on code, and transform our ambitious vision into reality.

You'll build next-level SaaS and AI solutions while partnering with our co-founders on strategy, tech, and culture. We want you involved in every discussion and decision!

What You’ll Do

• Own and define our technical architecture and roadmap, turning business and user challenges into scalable solutions
• Build, mentor, grow, and empower our engineering team (starting with 4+ engineers)
• Stay hands-on with coding, ensuring best practices with a modern tech stack
• Drive AI innovation and experimentation (LLMs, RAG) to keep us ahead of the curve
• Create a positive, engineering-driven culture, fostering innovation and pragmatism
• Shape company strategy and direction together with our two existing co-founders

Tech stack: Python, TypeScript, Postgres, GCP, Terraform, and RAG pipelines (we're open to evolve, but some familiarity is expected)
