GeneralMind is a Berlin-based AI startup building an autonomous AI-powered supply chain automation platform. Backed by Lakestar, Leo Capital, and leading angels with $12M raised in January 2026, we're eliminating manual, inbox-driven workflows in enterprise supply-chain operations - automating Sales Order processing, Purchase Order lifecycle management, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable. We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Salesforce, serving companies like a $16B food retailer and an $8.2B resources company.

Tasks

Backend Ownership

• Own the backend end-to-end: service architecture, API design, reliability posture, and long-term technical direction.

• Be the person who knows how everything fits together - and who other engineers come to when they're not sure where something belongs.

• Set the bar on code quality, service boundaries, and shared abstractions across the engineering team.

• Make foundational decisions with conviction, document the reasoning, and evolve them as the system grows.

Python Services & Production Systems

• Design for failure:



retries, timeouts, graceful degradation, and recovery paths built in from the start.

• Write code that is easy to operate - observable, testable, and straightforward to debug at 2am.

• Understand the runtime, not just the framework. Know when the problem is the code, the config, or the infrastructure.

Workflow Engineering & Temporal

• Design and build durable workflows using Temporal - long-running processes, async coordination, saga patterns.

• Own workflow observability: know when a workflow is stuck, degraded, or silently wrong before a customer notices.

• Think carefully about idempotency, failure modes, and replay semantics — not just the happy path.

• Evolve workflows without breaking running instances; manage versioning with intention.

Reliability & Systems Thinking

• Detect regressions before they become incidents; build the tooling to catch them early.

• Own the opera
