Company Founded in Berlin, autarc is a ~40 person start-up who were part of Y Combinator’s S24 batch in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Tech and Operations, with the Engineering & Product department currently ~20 people, as we continue to grow throughout the year.
Role Description This role is to join our AI team, where you will be working alongside a Senior Machine Learning Engineer and 2 Fullstack Engineers to build features that will support our deep tech products. This person must be someone who wants to build with modern AI Models (OpenAI, Mistral, Anthropic) to develop features that improve user experience. This includes making AI accessible, building widgets, buttons and links that can help auto generate descriptions (for example).
This work will consist of mapping out data and correlating systems so that they work seamlessly. Additionally, we want to allow users to import and export 3D scans and renders, which is where our AI and Computer Vision specialists come into play.
Beyond supporting our AI team, you will/can also help on web and design tasks, too. This role is not for someone who wants to build AI, rather to work with the AI Models to implement interfaces.
Other responsibilities include:
The role is Fullstack, with a 50/50 split between Frontend & Backend.

About Us Right now, 25% of CO2 emissions in Europe are caused by heating our buildings. In order for this to be reduced, the transition towards renewable energy needs to be simplified and made more accessible. There are too few installers to meet the growing demand for heat pumps, and a solution to match this trend needs to be brought to the market.
autarc is developing the leading operating system (OS) for heat pump installers, enabling a more digital and efficient installation process for heat pumps.
Through this, autarc is reducing the hurdles to decarbonizing single-family homes and small apartment buildings in Europe, with the goal to help with the planning and designing of 1 million heat pumps by 2030.
