My name is Marius, and I am the CTO at AREO (https://goareo.com/)
AREO, founded in January 2023 by a team with 20+ years of combined experience in retail and startups, is a young startup specializing in developing innovative solutions for supermarkets and grocery stores.
Our B2B SaaS platform optimizes employee workflows by providing real-time access to inventory, product information, and customer inquiries. We serve large supermarket chains in Germany and across the EU.
We have already hired two backend developers through "HN - Who is hiring?" and are now seeking an Engineering Manager (Ruby on Rails) with at least 8 years of experience (preferably in startups). We recently signed another large contract with a major retail chain, are growing quickly, and expect to close a pre-seed funding round in the next few days.
For the Engineering Manager role, professional proficiency in German is required, and you must be based in the EU.
Backend Stack: Ruby / Rails (8.x), StimulusJS / Hotwire / Turbo, AlpineJS, Postgres, Docker, DigitalOcean, OpenAPI, LLMs
We are also seeking a Robotics Engineer to work from our robotics lab in Bremen, Germany. We are building a retail robot, initially focusing on teleoperation and later on developing autonomous models. You should have at least 2 years of experience with humanoid robots, VLAs, teleoperation, and other relevant robotics systems. Professional proficiency in German is required, and you must live in Bremen or be willing to relocate.
Perks: Fully remote setup within Europe for the Engineering Manager, sizeable equity in a rapidly growing company, flat hierarchies, a no-ego work environment, and the opportunity to work in a lean but highly experienced team.
