Seeking a "Builder-in-Residence" to launch special projects in Vienna. Are you the person who sees a problem in the morning and has an AI-powered MVP running by dinner?
Felix, Gregor and Ivo are looking for a super hands-on, tech-savvy "Product Swiss Army Knife" to join us in our Vienna office. You don't need to be a Senior Dev, but you do need to be a master of the modern stack: AI agents, no-code/low-code, rapid prototyping, and scalable architecture.
We are building a few stealth-mode special projects and need someone who can iterate at lightning speed, work directly with the founding team, and think like an entrepreneur. The vibe: High autonomy, zero bureaucracy, pure building.
Your role:
We are looking for a Technical Product Generalist to act as the "execution engine" for a series of special projects. You will sit directly with the Co-Founders and CTO to turn raw ideas into validated products. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings; it's for someone who wants to build, break, and ship.
What You'll Do:
- Rapid Prototyping: Take a concept from a whiteboard and build a functional MVP using a mix of AI tools, low-code platforms, or light coding.
- AI Orchestration: Implement AI workflows using tools like OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, or Cursor to automate processes and enhance product features.
- Architectural Design: Help define how different tools and databases talk to each other so our "fast" builds don't crumble when they scale.
- Iterate & Pivot: Use user feedback to change directions in hours. You should be comfortable "killing your darlings" if the data doesn't support the idea.
- Bridge the Gap: Act as the glue between the Founders' vision and the CTO's technical roadmap.
Who you are:
- Your Tech "Toolbox" (Expected Proficiency). You should be a "power user" in most of these categories:
- AI/LLMs: Cursor, Replit Agent, Claude Artifacts, Midjourney, v0.dev.
- Automation/No-Code: Make.com, Zapier, Airtable, Bubble, or Webflow.
- Modern Stack: Knowledge of how APIs, Supabase/Firebase, and Vercel work.
- Product: Linear, Notion, Figma (enough to wireframe).
- Your Personality:
- Entrepreneurial: You've likely had a side hustle or tried to start a company before. You care about why we are building, not just what.
- Tech-Fluent: You can hold your own in a conversation with our CTO about architecture, even if you aren't writing the production backend yourself.
- Bias for Action: You prefer a "dirty" solution that works today over a "perfect" one that takes a month.
- Vienna-Based: You want to be in the room where it happens. This is a high-bandwidth, in-person role
Why is this better than a standard Dev role?
- Founding Team Access: You work directly with the decision-makers every day.
- Speed: No legacy code. No technical debt. Just building new things.
- Variety: You won't be stuck on one feature for six months; you'll be launching multiple projects.
Our Path to unlock your full potential:
- Compensation: You can earn up to €50,000 gross base salary (full-time equivalent), complemented by an attractive team-based bonus of up to 10%, rewarding collective performance and success.
- Flexible & Focused Work: Benefit from our hybrid work model with 2–3 flexible days per week and a Meeting-Free Friday for uninterrupted productivity.
- Grow With Us: Advance your career through clear development paths and our Spark! Growth & Development program. Gain access to thousands of courses on LinkedIn Learning, our Spark! Mentorship Program, and monthly learning sessions. Enjoy 30 free learning units to experience GoStudent firsthand.
- Work Smart, Play Hard: Our regular team and office events keep the energy high. We believe in bonding, celebrating together, and having lots of fun.
- Strength Through Community: Get involved in one of GoStudent's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and champion the causes that matter most to you.
How to apply:
Don't only send a traditional CV. Send us a link to something you built recently (even if it's a "scrappy" AI tool) and tell us which tools you used to get it live.
Our Commitment to full Openness:
We value your unique skills and your passion. We do not hire based on age, gender, nationality, or political views — what matters to us is your talent and your motivation. Even if you're a unicorn — just like GoStudent — if you believe you can make a positive impact, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every single requirement.
Diversity makes us more creative, innovative, and stronger.
