Backend Engineer - Agentic AI (m/f/d)

getpress is developing its own AI agent platform (LangGraph, PostgreSQL, Next.js) for the PR industry

The service market, from legal to consulting to agencies, is facing the biggest transformation in history. At the same time, the billion-dollar PR market is becoming increasingly important in the age of AI visibility. getpress, one of the fastest-growing PR agencies in Germany (>40 people, clients like Trivago, Komoot, Fonio AI, or AutoScout24), has decided to lead this change rather than wait for it. We are building the PR Company of the future: no longer a pure service company, but a service-as-a-software company.

Our AI team has been in existence for 4 months now, currently consisting of one developer, a product manager, and our Head of AI. The basic architecture is in place, and initial parts of our PR platform and multi-agent system are running productively. Now we need you – the person who, as a Backend Engineer, will own and jointly redefine the technical foundation with our second developer, and collaboratively shape how PR of the future works.

• PR Platform: Full-stack development of the platform that will become the operating system for the PR agency of 2027. Close to the users, in rapid development cycles, where your decisions set the course.

• AI Agents: Building an agent system that redefines the PR value chain end-to-end. You will build the agents that our consultants use daily, including self-learning loops and multi-agent orchestration.

• System Architecture: Co-designing the system architecture, including workflows, data model, interfaces, compliance, and tech stack (currently predominantly PostgreSQL, Next.js, LangGraph, Docker)

• Data Management: Further development of the database architecture, including relational data and vector databases

Must haves:

• > 3 years of experience in software development

• > 1 year of experience in developing AI agents and components such as memory, context engineering, retrieval, and orchestration using frameworks like Langchain, CrewAI, Langgraph, or similar.

• Tech Stack: TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Git, LangGraph, Github

• Experience in developing backend systems with frameworks (fastAPI, springboot, nestJS, etc.) and common programming languages (e.g., Java, Typescript, Python)

• Experience with container-based and cloud-native architectures (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, or similar)

• C1 German language skills are an advantage, B2 level is sufficient (with motivation to complete the course to C1 within your first year of employment)

Nice to haves:

• Data Competence: Proficient in SQL, API design, schema design, query optimization

• Experience with the integration of AI/ML models into production systems, as well as understanding model behavior, model performance, and model limitations

• Product Engineering: Experience in contextualizing requirements from a business and user perspective before technical implementation

• Experience with Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar)

• Experience with Agentic Development (Claude Code, Codex, or similar)

• Architect of the Tech Layer: You will be our technical expert and help shape how getpress thinks about and uses technology

• AI in Application: You will bring AI to the forefront of technical possibilities in our processes and strategy

• Autonomy: You will work directly with management, implement your own ideas, and define standards for us to follow

• A Real Team: We treat each other as equals – openly, honestly, and with genuine interest in one another. We learn from each other, support each other, and celebrate our successes together.

• Flexibility that is Truly Lived: Whether in the Berlin office or remote (within Germany) – we rely on flexible working models with a high degree of personal responsibility. We are looking for someone residing in Germany. This means you decide when and where (in Germany) you shape your workday. Clear communication and trust are a matter of course for us.

We look forward to meeting you!
