Founding Engineer

About the Role

As a Founding Engineer at SANOVIO, you will play a key role in building the AI-powered procurement infrastructure that tackles one of the biggest and most complex cost problems in European healthcare.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for engineers with high agency, strong technical depth, and a founder mindset. We’re looking for a full-stack generalist with a strong frontend affinity. You excel at designing user flows and implementing them in React and TypeScript, while owning outcomes end-to-end across backend, data, AI-enabled workflows, and cloud deployment. You thrive amid uncertainty and incomplete requirements, move quickly, and still care deeply about architecture, clean code, and long-term quality.

If you are a passionate builder who thrives at the intersection of full-stack development and AI, this is your opportunity to work closely with the founders, shape the product, and help us scale toward €10M ARR in 2026.

Tasks

• Owning end-to-end product workflows, from frontend UX to backend systems, data pipelines, and edge cases

• Building world-class frontend experiences in React and TypeScript alongside scalable, reliable backend systems

• Designing and owning AI-enabled systems, including embeddings, retrieval, and agents that create real operational leverage

• Developing and operating data pipelines for large-scale unstructured data

• Making pragmatic technical decisions on architecture, tools, and frameworks to balance speed and quality

• Deploying, running, and maintaining software in cloud environments with a “you ship it, you run it” mindset

• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with scalable, reusable components and APIs

• Collaborating across the stack and raising the engineering bar through reviews, mentoring, and technical leadership
