We build massive-scale infra to crawl the entire web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases to retrieve over it. We now power search for Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and over 400,000 developers and have raised $350m from Lightspeed, Benchmark, and a16z. Our ultimate goal is to build perfect search over all the world's information, far beyond Google. If you want to build massive-scale ML systems that will define the way the new AI world consumes information, this is the place for you. As a Data Engineer, you'll architect and build the data infrastructure that powers everything we do-from crawling billions of pages to training our embedding models to serving real-time search. You'll have enormous autonomy in designing systems that scale to hundreds of petabytes. If you've ever wanted to build data pipelines at a scale that most companies only dream about, this is your chance. WHO YOU ARE - Deep understanding of lakehouse architectures (Delta Lake, Iceberg, Hudi) and when to use them - Experience building and operating large-scale distributed data processing pipelines - Hands-on experience with streaming data systems (Kafka, Flink, or similar) - Familiarity with Ray, Spark, or ClickHouse at production scale - An obsessive focus on reliability and building systems that don't page you at 3am BONUS - Experience with Lance or other vector-native --- TITLE: Product Engineer / Builder EMPLOYER: Tacto LOCATION: Munich, Bavaria, Germany (unspecified) SALARY: Not disclosed POSTED: 2026-03-24 APPLY_URL: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tacto/ec0bccd8-00ff-438d-a322-8d9c6695e0ec EXCERPT: Product Engineer / Builder Munich, Bavaria, Germany Why this role exists Manufacturing is Europe's backbone, and it's under pressure. Over 50% of manufacturing cost is decided in procurement, yet the function still runs on Excel. Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects bits (engineering, digital) and atoms (manufacturing, physical) - the missing piece to bring AI into the real economy. 300+ industrial companies already run on Tacto. Backed by Sequoia and Index. Category leader in DACH. Just getting started. You'd join the team that owns Tacto's analytics product - the engine that turns messy procurement data into clear "here's where you can save" opportunities. On top of ClickHouse, we ingest spend and supplier data, run AI agents over it, enrich with 20,000+ external indices, and surface ready-made savings to procurement teams. What you'll do Ship product end-to-end. Build the analytics engine that finds saving potential across millions of rows. Turn AI advances into real production features - anomaly detection, opportunity scoring, agentic workflows. Build customer-facing flows in React/Next.js that feel more like a great CRM than a spreadsheet. Identify the right problem, align, and drive it to revenue. Don't wait for a PRD. What we mean by Builder Because of AI, we only need Builders. No specialized roles. A Builder owns ambiguity end-to-end - not just customer problems, but business problems. You take effective agency, make the case, de-risk, and make the value real. You spread what works instead of hoarding it.
