Fullstack Entwickler (m|w|d) - Product Owner Sport

About commercetools
Real innovation starts with a strong foundation, and at commercetools, that comes from the perfect balance of our product and our people.

Behind every leap forward is a collective of builders, explorers, doers, makers, and problem-solvers.The kind of people who not only pioneered a more flexible approach to commerce architecture but also shaped the culture of experimentation that approach unlocked. Together they are the engine of commerce innovation today.

At commercetools, we power the next era of autonomous commerce for our customers. Whether it's AI-driven solutions that help enterprises make smarter business decisions, bridging digital and physical shopping experiences, or enabling entirely new ways for industries to connect with their customers, we help the world's most ambitious companies experiment, scale, and grow without limits.

Here the best idea wins, not the loudest voice. You will have the tools, trust, and space to not only build the future of commerce, but to build your own.

Your Impact
You own AI capabilities end-to-end: from the data and context that feed a model, through agent orchestration, to the generative UI a user sees and trusts. You've personally shipped and operated full-stack apps in production, so backend, frontend, data, and ML aren't four teams you coordinate with, they're four things you do. You're not a research scientist; you wield models and engineer ruthlessly around their uncertainty.

You will:

• Build agent loops and orchestration: tool use, structured outputs, business-rule enforcement, graceful failure
• Build the integration layer (via MCP) that lets agents securely call backend systems and business APIs
• Render model output into live, streamed, accessible UI via generative-UI protocols
• Ground models in real data: retrieval, embeddings, and feedback loops that actually close
• Treat evals as a first-class system - provable improvement, not vibes
• Take a capability from prompt-in-a-notebook to a measured, guard-railed production feature

This role is to based in our hubs -
Berlin, Boston, Durham, Munich, London or Valencia
.

What Sets You Apart

You're a creative problem-solver who is wired to find solutions. You confidently dive into complex challenges and have a talent for making them simple for others. Your curiosity drives you to constantly grow and contribute to an environment of trust and teamwork. Great ideas come from many paths, and your unique perspective matters more than checking every box. What matters most is the mindset you bring to the work.

You bring:

• Shipped full-stack apps to production and owned them end-to-end: frontend through backend to deploy and operate, not handed off at a layer boundary
• 5+ years shipping production software, 2+ building with LLMs in production (real users, not demos)
• Hands-on experience with UI protocols (A2UI, AG-UI, MCP-UI, or similar). You've built against a generative/agent-driven UI protocol, not just consumed a REST API
• The AI spine: prompt/context engineering, agents, tool use, structured outputs, evals, MCP Python and TypeScript/Node + React; comfortable with async, streaming, and observability
• Working fluency with retrieval/embeddings and SQL

Nice to Have:

• Fine-tuning/distillation, e-commerce or marketplace systems, and a track record in 0→1

Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US.

As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.

Following our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow.

About The Role
Synthesia videos are becoming two-way experiences. Our Video Agents team is building the next generation of interactive learning - moving beyond passive video into AI-driven conversations, surveys, and knowledge checks that learners actually engage with. Think: a sales rep completing a roleplay with an AI avatar, a learner answering quiz questions mid-video, a manager seeing who's ready to go live with customers.

As a Frontend Engineer on this team, you'll build directly inside our editor - the core creative surface where content creators design these experiences - and extend our video player where learners consume them. You're not just adding features; you're defining new types of AI agents from scratch: configurable, interactive, and deeply integrated into Synthesia's platform end-to-end.

What You'll Work On

• Building new agent types inside our editor - survey agents, knowledge-check agents, quiz flows - that creators configure and learners interact with in real time
• Owning features end-to-end: from the editor UI through app state and logic, down into the player experience
• Working primarily in our editor (a large, complex React + TypeScript application) with some work in our video player
• Collaborating closely with product and design to shape what these new interaction patterns look like - and pushing back when something isn't right
• Making small backend changes when needed to unblock frontend work

What we're looking for

• 4–6+ years of frontend engineering experience, primarily TypeScript and React, and backend knowledge to take features end to end with NodeJS
• Experience working on a large, complex web application - ideally something where users build, configure, or create: an editor, design tool, no-code/low-code platform, workflow builder, or similar
• Comfortable owning frontend features independently, from UI through state management and application logic
• Familiar with real-time interactions (e.g. WebSockets, live collaboration patterns)
• Strong product mindset - you think about what users actually need, not just what was specced

Nice to have

• Experience with AI-powered features, agent interfaces, or LLM-integrated products
• Observability experience - monitoring and improving frontend performance using tools like Datadog, Sentry, or Grafana
• Complex state management in large frontend applications

Why join us?
We’re living the golden age of AI. The next decade will yield the next iconic companies, and we dare to say we have what it takes to become one. Here’s why,

The problem

The construction industry loses $1.6 trillion a year to inefficiency, and most of it is avoidable. The knowledge that would prevent it already exists. It's just trapped in PDFs, meeting protocols, and email threads nobody can search. Every new project relearns what the last one already knew.

We're building the opposite of that: software for the people who run large, complex construction projects. It reads the documents, tracks the decisions, and catches the mistakes early. The model isn't the moat. The project memory is, and it compounds: every project makes the system better, and a competitor starting today is already years of projects behind.

Our software runs today on a live autobahn construction program and an S-Bahn transit program: multi-year timelines, hundreds of thousands of pages of specs, protocols, and site communications, and real consequences when we get an answer wrong.

We're pre-seed, led by Realyze Ventures, whose LPs include Zech and other large European construction groups. Co-investors: D11Z, the family office behind Aleph Alpha, and the CDTM Venture Fund, backed by 300+ CDTM alumni including the founders of Personio and Alasco and DeepMind's Technical Director. 25+ live customers.

Tasks

What you'd work on

Two hard problems, both in production.

AI-native project management, not a chatbot on PDFs. You build the product project managers live in every day: the dashboards, task views, and alerts. The AI belongs in the background, not in a sidebar you talk to, so you're building surfaces where automation runs on cronjobs, recommendations surface for the PM to approve, and some tasks run end to end with the user only reviewing after.

The data layer under a five-year project. Construction data is deeply interconnected: documents, protocols, decisions, tasks, and stakeholders all cross-reference each other across timelines that run for years. You design the schema, write the queries, and build the APIs that hold that graph and still serve the product fast enough to feel instant, at hundreds of thousands of pages and 50 stakeholders per project.

Stack. TypeScript, Next.js, Vercel, Supabase (Postgres + pgvector), LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, LangFuse, shadcn/ui. Every engineer gets €500/month for AI tooling: Claude Code, Cursor background agents, and whatever frontier model you want to test. No legacy. Greenfield.

How we work

We ship at 80% and improve in the next iteration. Our users are on live infrastructure projects, so we learn from production.

We'd rather you read the paper than reach for the nearest library. Most of what we build doesn't have a library yet.

Feedback is direct and it's about the work. We move too fast to be precious about it.

High ownership. If you spot the problem, it's yours to fix.

Requirements

Who we're looking for

You reason from user pain to solution to measurable outcome, and you can sit across from a non-technical customer and understand how they actually work.

You're a strong full-stack engineer. You build complex, performant frontends in TypeScript and React/Next.js and the backend APIs behind them, and you have real instincts for database design and query optimization, because construction data is deeply interconnected.

You prototype fast and measure everything. You also care about reliability, because on a live construction project, wrong has consequences.

Level is open. We've watched new grads outrun staff engineers and the other way around. If you're exceptional, we'll build the scope around you.

Nice to have, not required: comfort integrating AI features even if you don't build the models yourself, strong open-source work, an earlier stint as an early employee at a startup, domain depth in construction or complex B2B workflows, or a good eye for design so you can build clean interfaces without detailed mockups.

We work in English. German helps for customer calls but isn't required. We have native speakers for that.

Benefits

The offer

You'll be one of our first engineers, which means you own critical parts of the product end to end and work directly with the founders. It's early enough that you help decide how the company works, and the path from here goes to either top individual contributor or VP Engineering, depending on where you're strongest.

Equity: 0.5% to 1.5%, four-year vest, 1.5-year cliff.

Hybrid: three days a week in our central Munich office. If that's a dealbreaker for you, let's talk.

How hiring works

Three stages, no endless loops.

A 30-minute call with one of our engineers.

A 30-minute call with Vinzenz, our technical co-founder.

An onsite case study in Munich. We send the materials ahead (plan on about 4 hours of prep), then we work through it together in the office. This is where we see how you think, debug, and ship under real conditions.

Offer decided within 24 hours of the case study, out within 48.
