Careers at coPetence

Build what matters

We're a Munich-based consultancy helping enterprises adopt AI and sovereign cloud infrastructure — not with slide decks, but with working systems. Our team ships RAG pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, and custom software for clients across the DACH region.

If you care about building things that work in production, you'll fit right in.

What we look for

People, not roles

We don't hire for roles. We hire for people. That said, we tend to work at the intersection of:

AI Engineering

RAG systems, embeddings, LLM orchestration, and knowledge management — real pipelines running on real customer data.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Kubernetes, Talos Linux, Cilium, GitOps, IaC — infrastructure you own, running on sovereign European hardware.

Software Development

Full-stack TypeScript and Python — React, Next.js, FastAPI. API design, system architecture, production-grade code.

Consulting & Delivery

Client-facing work, technical scoping, and project execution — owning outcomes end to end for DACH enterprises.

Whether you're a student, recent graduate, or experienced engineer — if you're sharp and ship fast, we want to hear from you.

How we hire

A straightforward process

No trick questions, no whiteboard algorithms, no six-round gauntlets.

  1. 1

    You reach out

    A short message about who you are, what you've built, and what excites you. A GitHub profile or a side project says more than any CV.

  2. 2

    Intro call (30 min)

    A casual conversation to get to know each other. We'll talk about what you're looking for and what we're working on.

  3. 3

    Technical deep dive (60 min)

    Pair programming, an architecture discussion, or a walkthrough of something you've built. We want to understand how you think — not quiz you on trivia.

  4. 4

    Trial collaboration (optional)

    For some roles, a short paid trial project. Real work, real context — confidence on both sides before committing.

  5. 5

    Offer

    If it's a fit, we move fast. You'll get a clear offer with no ambiguity.

Why coPetence

What you get

Real engineering work

Production systems for enterprise clients, not prototypes that sit on a shelf.

Ownership from day one

Small team means big responsibility. You'll own projects end to end.

Modern stack, no legacy

We chose our tools deliberately. You won't be fighting decade-old monoliths.

Munich-based, flexible

HQ in south of Munich. Hybrid setup — we value output over hours.

Grow with us

Early-stage and scaling. The people who join now will shape what coPetence becomes.

Open application

Always meeting great people

We don't always have a specific role posted — but we're always interested in meeting exceptional people. Tell us what you're working on, what you're curious about, and where you want to go.
