    About this role

    the autonomous data engineer for the European mid-marketAbout Zeit AIZeit AI builds ZeitMind, the agent framework for business intelligence. We connect to the systems companies already run (ERP exports, CRM data, spreadsheets, internal databases) and put agents on top so operators get reliable answers without hiring a data team.

    Founded by Marvin and Leopold (both ex-Palantir), YC S24, backed by Oxford Seed Fund and Sequoia Scout. Customers across manufacturing, agriculture, and aviation. Zero to €1M ARR in our first twelve months with six people, and doubling every six months.What this role isThe seat for someone who is already closing and now wants their career to compound.

    You take accounts from outbound-sourced first call to signed contract: run discovery, scope the use case with the customer, drive the NDA, prepare the bootcamp, negotiate, close.

    You will pick up the phone and be in the same room as our customers to close deals fast.Deepika (GTM Lead) is your mentor: weekly deal reviews, call coaching, and a ramp designed to make you a full account executive in record time. You will not inherit a playbook that is finished, but we want to write it with you.One more thing you should actually want: the product changes fast.
