As our first dedicated People & Talent hire, you will build the entire people function from scratch — owning recruiting, HR operations, culture, and light office management. This is a foundational role: you’ll shape how we hire, onboard, retain, and grow our team during the most formative phase of the company.
We’re looking for someone who has done this before and is excited to go back to the early stage, where you own everything and your decisions directly shape the company.
Core Responsibilities
Recruiting- Own the full recruiting lifecycle end to end — sourcing, screening, interviewing, closing — across engineering, commercial, and operational roles.
- Build and manage our talent pipeline through direct sourcing, networks, job boards, and selective agency use.
- Partner with hiring managers to define roles, structure interviews, and create a standout candidate experience.
- Set up and run core HR processes: contracts, onboarding, offboarding, payroll coordination, benefits, and compliance with German labor law.
- Be the go-to person for all people topics
- Help shape our culture as we scale: team rituals, values, and ways of working that keep the startup spirit alive.
- Keep our Berlin office running smoothly: supplies, equipment, vendors, and team events.
