⭐️ Your Impact:The European trades are one of the least digitised industries left.
Softwarepenetration sits under 15%, against roughly 70% in the US.
The labourproductivity gap runs.
Millions of skilled people spend their eveningson paperwork instead of the craft they trained for — in the industry that has todeliver the energy transition.
There is almost no incumbent software to displace.
That is unusual, and it won'tlast.
smalt replaces the back office entirely rather than selling Meister another toolto manage.
In the last six months that went from a partner app and a dashboardto around thirty AI agents in production - pricing real jobs, qualifying realleads, running the operations of businesses whose payroll depends on it working.
These days building thirty agents is easy.
Knowing which thirty is what's challenging.
That only comes from being in the Betrieb and talking to the Handwerker.
That's what this role is for.
What you'll doYou'll sit in Handwerksbetrieben - at the Meister's desk, in the van, on site, next to our team -and watch how the work actually happens.
Then you'll come back and build thething that fixes it, often multiple times on the same day.
- Spend real time with partners.
Not a quarterly customer call.
You'll know our Meister by name, understand their P&L, and notice the thing they've stopped complaining about because they assume it can't be fixed.
- Build across the stack.
Python/FastAPI services, Vue interfaces, Flutter screens, agent loops, data pipelines - whatever the problem needs.
- Own agents in production.
Agents that price real jobs, answer real customers, and cost real money when they're wrong.
Reliability, evaluation, structured output, graceful failure.
- Decide what to build.
You'll write your own acceptance criteria.
Nobody here will hand you a spec, and waiting for one is how to fail in this role.
- Measure whether it worked.
Hours saved per partner, offers that go out untouched, leads answered before a compe.
