Location: Hybrid (Munich-based team, 3 days/week in office); Workload: Full-time; Start: ASAP

About us

Hi, we are Jessy Works – an AI startup rethinking accounting from the ground up.

While accounting firms are struggling to find qualified staff, we build the solution: AI-powered accounting on autopilot.

Our AI assistants handle bookkeeping, routine workflows, and client communication – dramatically expanding the capacity of tax advisory firms.

Now we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who wants to take real ownership, ship production-ready AI systems, and help scale a mission-critical product.

If you enjoy building stable systems, working close to product and founders, and using AI as a first-class development tool, keep reading.

Tasks

Build and own enterprise-grade AI systems that automate accounting and logistics operations at scale.
