Manufacturing is Europe's backbone, and it's under pressure. Over 50% of manufacturing cost is decided in procurement, yet the
function still runs on Excel. Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects bits (engineering, digital) and atoms
(manufacturing, physical) - the missing piece to bring AI into the real economy. 300+ industrial companies already run on Tacto.
Backed by Sequoia and Index. Category leader in DACH. Just getting started.
You'd join the team that owns Tacto's analytics product - the engine that turns messy procurement data into clear "here's where
you can save" opportunities. On top of ClickHouse, we ingest spend and supplier data, run AI agents over it, enrich with 20,000+
external indices, and surface ready-made savings to procurement teams.
Ship product end-to-end. Build the analytics engine that finds saving potential across millions of rows. Turn AI advances into
real production features - anomaly detection, opportunity scoring, agentic workflows. Build customer-facing flows in React/Next.js
that feel more like a great CRM than a spreadsheet. Identify the right problem, align, and drive it to revenue. Don't wait for a
Because of AI, we only need Builders. No specialized roles. A Builder owns ambiguity end-to-end - not just customer problems, but
business problems. You take effective agency, make the case, de-risk, and make the value real. You spread what works instead of
hoarding it.
We don't care about code quality for its own sake. We care about outcomes. The loop of idea → reality is what makes this fun, and
AI just made that loop 10x shorter. There's no room here for "my job is to solve interesting technical problems." That mindset is
obsolete.
Builder is the what. The Tacto Engineer is the how - our engineering practice and the bar we hold each other to. Wear the
customer's shoes. Ship fast, finish fully. Sweat the details. Get 1% better every week. No lone wolves. Use AI as leverage, not a
crutch.

Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects AI to the physical world of manufacturing, starting with procurement. AI is
transforming every industry, but it stops at the factory gate. The knowledge that holds manufacturing together - part costs,
suppliers, materials - is scattered across systems and people. Over 50% of a product's cost originates from suppliers, making
procurement the single largest cost lever in manufacturing and the missing connection between the digital and the physical world.
Yet it still runs on Excel and legacy systems. We're changing that with our Procurement Intelligence Platform, trusted by hundreds
of companies running billions of Euros of material.
Based in Munich, we are 100+ passionate builders who are in-office, with high expectations, fast growth, and a lot of fun. We are
supported by >€50m from Sequoia, Index, and Europe's leading tech entrepreneurs and industry veterans.
Manufacturing forms Europe's economic backbone, driving a fourth of Europe's GDP and providing over 30% of jobs. These hidden
champions and global market leaders manufacture the physical world around us, from the machines that build our cities to the
medical devices that save lives.
But the world is changing. The US dominates the digital world of bits. China is scaling the world of atoms, manufacturing at
unprecedented speed and scale. Geopolitics are more uncertain than ever. Europe's strength lies in its deep industrial knowledge
through generations of engineering. Manufacturing worldwide runs on European machines and software. But that heritage is only an
advantage if we leverage it in the age of AI.
Tacto builds the AI that connects Atoms and Bits, empowering our Industrial Base to Stay Stronger and building a lighthouse for
European tech.
The people at Tacto are passionate about building the organization, growing themselves, and our product while having fun and being
real. We have high expectations, great talent density, and a culture where your ambition, performance, and agency are what count -
not where you come from or how big your ego is. You'll grow at the forefront of AI, have real ownership and impact, and be
surrounded by the best people in their field who challenge you and make you better every day. That is demanding and rewarding, but

comstruct is building the agentic workforce for procurement in European construction. Our agents turn paper delivery notes, fragmented invoices and offline supplier decisions into structured, real-time data and live decisions, embedded inside the largest contractors in Europe and the US. We recently secured a €12.5M seed financing round from prestigious VCs, including 20VC and Google Ventures, along with top European investors. We're looking for Product Engineers who want to own that from end to end. Not just write code but design, build, and ship complete autonomous agents that actually work in the real world, inside some of the most operationally complex companies on the planet. This is what it means to be a Product Engineer at comstruct: you get a problem, you form a hypothesis, and you drive it all the way to a fully working autonomous system. You own the agent logic, the backend, the frontend, the iteration with real customers. From zero to deployed, end to end. As a hybrid company, we value in-person collaboration and expect our team members to be in our Munich office 3 days per week. 🚀 What We Are Looking For * You have at least 3 years of experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up, and you can point to things you've shipped and truly owned and not just contributed to * You care deeply about whether what you build actually solves the problem, and you're comfortable navigating ambiguity to get there * What we care about most: you think like a builder. You take ownership seriously. You have the drive and the track record to prove it * Full proficiency in German and English. 🚀 You have ownership to drive a new product initiatives like: * Procurement Agents - fully autonomous systems that handle material orders directly from the construction site, from the first requisition all the way to the posted invoice, with no human action required * Contract Management - tools that give construction companies complete, real-time visibility into every active contract across their operations * Your own idea - if you see a way to 10x the value of our platform, you have the mandate and the support to go build it * Your tech stack: Typescript, NestJS, React, GCP, Hazura, Flutter 📚 How are we setting you up for success * Shape your career path: We give you the freedom to own your work and build something from the ground up * Support and mentoring from our engineering mentors via our network with Google Ventures and 20VC, early access to latest LLMs and SDKs for experimentation * Own a piece of the pie: We offer equity options so you're a true owner, sharing directly in the success you help create on top of a competitive salary * You'll have a dedicated development budget to invest in your skills, from certificates to conferences so you can grow with the company * Relocation support to help you feel at home in Munich * And of course top notch hardware, any AI productivity tools you need, daily dinner options, wellpass subscriptions and yearly offsites (the last ones were in Mallorca and Italy).
Tacto builds AI-powered software for strategic procurement teams in manufacturing. Our product is evolving fast: we're introducing agentic capabilities that handle larger units of work autonomously - and come back to users when decisions are needed or results are ready. That shift demands a new kind of interface. Not just new screens, but new patterns for how humans and AI agents collaborate. And those patterns need to be built, not just designed. As a Design Engineer, you deeply understand a problem, then design, build, and ship a solution - often autonomously. You contribute directly to the codebase: building features end to end, crafting polished interactions, and ensuring that what ships feels as good as it works. You think like a designer and build like an engineer. You'll join a small design team and work embedded with engineering squads to ship product. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS Engineering velocity at Tacto is high. Features move from idea to production fast - AI-assisted development is the default. That speed is a strength, but it creates a real challenge: the gap between what's designed and what's shipped keeps growing, interactions get neglected, and polish falls through the cracks. We need someone who closes that gap by being in the code. Not a design system caretaker, but a builder who ships features with high craft - and who naturally improves the shared foundations along the way. Someone who obsesses over the details that make a product feel great: the transitions, the keyboard interactions, the edge states, the moments of delight. YOUR IMPACT In this role, you will: * Design, build, and ship features autonomously - from understanding the problem, through design exploration, to production frontend code that users interact with. You own the result, not just a layer of it. * Craft polished interactions and experiences - you obsess over the details that make a product feel exceptional: transitions, micro-interactions, keyboard behavior, responsiveness, accessibility. * Prototype agentic interactions in real code - the flows where AI agents present results, request decisions, and show progress can't be mocked up in Figma. You build them so the team can see and feel them. * Raise the quality floor across the product - review PRs, jump into feature branches, and make sure shipped features feel right. As you build, you naturally strengthen the shared UI foundations and component library that the whole team relies on. * Bridge design and engineering - you work closely with designers on what's next, and with engineers on what ships. You skip the handoff: instead of waiting for specs, you shape the solution in Figma or code, whichever gets there faster. WHO YOU ARE We're looking for a block-shaped designer - not a T-shape with one deep skill, but someone genuinely strong across multiple disciplines. In your case, the block leans technical: you're an engineer who thinks like a designer, or a designer who builds like an engineer. Either way, you ship real code and care deeply about how it feels. You'll be a great fit if you: * Have strong frontend engineering skills - you write production-quality React/TypeScript and you're comfortable owning code that goes to customers. * Have a real design sensibility - you notice when spacing is off, when an interaction feels sluggish, when a flow doesn't communicate what it should. You don't need someone to hand you a pixel-perfect mock to build something good. * Prototype in code as your default mode. When exploring an idea, you'd rather spin up a working version than make a static mockup. * Care deeply about craft and polish - transitions, animations, keyboard behavior, cross-browser consistency, accessibility. The details behind the pretty pixels. * Use AI tools as core leverage in your daily work - Claude, Cursor, v0, ChatGPT, or whatever makes you faster. You organize your workflow around these tools and push what's possible. * Can work autonomously across the full scope - comfortable going from a rough problem to a shipped feature, making design decisions along the way. Bonus points if you: * Have worked on products where AI behavior needed to be surfaced clearly to non-technical users, * Have experience with motion design, micro-interactions, or advanced CSS/animation, * Have contributed to design systems or component libraries - not as a full-time job, but as a natural byproduct of building great product.
