At Klartext AI, we build AI solutions, products and ventures that move beyond prototypes and into real business use. We are looking for someone who can help us build, ship and scale AI products end-to-end – from frontend and backend to infrastructure, deployment and production reliability.
We care about judgment more than job titles. That means someone highly autonomous, able to sit in front of a client and translate what they need into what gets built, with enough experience owning systems end to end to know which trade-offs matter – and enough judgment to steer AI tools like Claude Code rather than follow them. Ten years inside one specific framework is explicitly not what we are after.
What you’ll do:
- Build AI-powered web applications from prototype to production
- Develop backend systems, APIs, integrations and automation workflows
- Create clean and intuitive frontend experiences
- Talk directly to clients and translate what they need into technical decisions
- Work with LLMs, AI workflows and production-grade AI applications
- Own DevOps topics like deployment, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure and monitoring
- Shape technical architecture and take ownership of implementation quality
What we’re looking for:
- A highly autonomous, pragmatic way of working – you set your own priorities and move things forward without being managed
- Experience owning systems end to end: from the first conversation through production and everything after
- Solid full-stack experience, primarily in TypeScript (Next.js, TanStack, Tailwind and friends) – judgment matters more to us than years inside a single framework
- Experience with Python (FastAPI), which we use selectively for backend and AI services
- Interest in AI, LLMs and AI SDKs – plus the judgment to steer AI coding tools like Claude Code and know where to take them
- Confident with Docker and VM management; Kubernetes is a plus – or the willingness to learn it
- DevOps experience or strong motivation to grow deeper into infrastructure
- Interest in startups, product building and fast-moving environments
- Fluent English. German is a big plus.
What we offer:
- Direct impact on real AI products and ventures
- Close collaboration with founders, clients and the team
- Ownership across product, AI, architecture and infrastructure
- Beautiful office in Vienna’s 8th district, flexible working hours and hybrid work
- A young, ambitious and entrepreneurial team
We are looking for someone who doesn’t just want to write code, but wants to build, ship and scale what’s next with AI.
