Founding Product Engineer @ fonio GmbH

As Founding Product Engineer at fonio GmbH, the role involves end-to-end ownership of ideas, from initial concept and prototyping to a finished feature deployed for thousands of companies across Europe. It relies on constant research through close collaboration with customers, partners, and the Sales team to understand pain points and how to deliver value, alongside product discovery that tests hypotheses quickly through experiments. It also entails tracking and gathering all relevant metrics to support data-driven decisions and building software end-to-end—from architecture decisions to release—balancing pragmatism and scalability. The position emphasizes shipping with minimal meetings and asynchronous communication via Slack, voice messages, or Loom, supported by radical ownership—when a feature or initiative helps, approvals are not required and the right decisions can be made autonomously. This remote-first role operates in a high-growth environment with a small team, offering CET overlap, access to an office in Vienna, and competitive compensation (€80K–€120K) plus generous equity.
