Seeking a "Builder-in-Residence" to launch special projects in Vienna. Are you the person who sees a problem in the morning and has an AI-powered MVP running by dinner?
Felix, Gregor and Ivo are looking for a super hands-on, tech-savvy "Product Swiss Army Knife" to join us in our Vienna office. You don't need to be a Senior Dev, but you do need to be a master of the modern stack: AI agents, no-code/low-code, rapid prototyping, and scalable architecture.

We are building a few stealth-mode special projects and need someone who can iterate at lightning speed, work directly with the founding team, and think like an entrepreneur. The vibe: High autonomy, zero bureaucracy, pure building.

Your role: 

We are looking for a Technical Product Generalist to act as the "execution engine" for a series of special projects. You will sit directly with the Co-Founders and CTO to turn raw ideas into validated products. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings; it’s for someone who wants to build, break, and ship.

What You’ll Do:

• Rapid Prototyping: Take a concept from a whiteboard and build a functional MVP using a mix of AI tools, low-code platforms, or light coding.
• AI Orchestration: Implement AI workflows using tools like OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, or Cursor to automate processes and enhance product features.
• Architectural Design: Help define how different tools and databases talk to each other so our "fast" builds don't crumble when they scale.
• Iterate & Pivot: Use user feedback to change directions in hours. You should be comfortable "killing your darlings" if the data doesn't support the idea.
• Bridge the Gap: Act as the glue between the Founders' vision and the CTO's technical roadmap.

Who you are:

• Your Tech "Toolbox" (Expected Proficiency). You should be a "power user" in most of these categories:
  • AI/LLMs: Cursor, Replit Agent, Claude Artifacts, Midjourney, v0.dev.
  • Automation/No-Code: Make.com, Zapier, Airtable, Bubble, or Webflow.
  • Modern Stack: Knowledge of how APIs, Supabase/Firebase, and Vercel work.
  • Product: Linear, Notion, Figma (enough to wireframe).

• Your Personality: 
  • Entrepreneurial: You’ve likely had a side hustle or tried to start a company before. You care about why we are building, not just what.
  • Tech-Fluent: You can hold your own in a conversation with our CTO about architecture, even if you aren't writing the production backend yourself.
  • Bias for Action: You prefer a "dirty" solution that works today over a "perfect" one that takes a month.
  • Vienna-Based: You want to be in the room where it happens. This is a high-bandwidth, in-person role

Why is this better than a standard Dev role?

• Founding Team Access: You work directly with the decision-makers every day.
• Speed: No legacy code. No technical debt. Just building new things.
• Variety: You won't be stuck on one feature for six months; you'll be launching multiple projects.

Our Path to unlock your full potential:

• Compensation: You can earn up to €50,000 gross base salary (full-time equivalent), complemented by an attractive team-based bonus of up to 10%, rewarding collective performance and success.
• Flexible & Focused Work: Benefit from our hybrid work model with 2–3 flexible days per week and a Meeting-Free Friday for uninterrupted productivity.
• Grow With Us: Advance your career through clear development paths and our Spark! Growth & Development program. Gain access to thousands of courses on LinkedIn Learning, our Spark! Mentorship Program, and monthly learning sessions. Enjoy 30 free learning units to experience GoStudent firsthand.
• Work Smart, Play Hard: Our regular team and office events keep the energy high. We believe in bonding, celebrating together, and having lots of fun.
• Strength Through Community: Get involved in one of GoStudent’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and champion the causes that matter most to you.

How to apply:

Don't only send a traditional CV. Send us a link to something you built recently (even if it's a "scrappy" AI tool) and tell us which tools you used to get it live.

Our Commitment to full Openness:

We value your unique skills and your passion. We do not hire based on age, gender, nationality, or political views — what matters to us is your talent and your motivation. Even if you’re a unicorn — just like GoStudent — if you believe you can make a positive impact, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every single requirement.

Diversity makes us more creative, innovative, and stronger.

About Ketryx:

Ketryx is an AI software platform that enables healthcare life sciences companies to ship life-saving regulated products in weeks instead of years.

Exploding product complexity is burying companies in compliance paperwork and blocking innovation. Our AI software removes this friction, dissolving the historical tradeoff between innovation and compliance, and enables regulated industries to innovate at the pace of modern software.

Just two years since launch, Ketryx already touches the lives of 25M patients and powers 3 of the world’s top 5 MedTech companies and 25% of the Fortune 500 MedTech market. Backed by Lightspeed Ventures, our founders are the former Head of AI at Amgen and CTO of Wolfram Cloud.

Healthcare and life sciences is just the beginning for us. Automotive, aerospace, energy — if it’s regulated, it’s because society decided it matters. These products move humanity, shape our future, and are safety-critical. Come join us and help build the AI platform to power safe innovation.

About the Role:

As Head of Design at Ketryx, you'll lead a small, highly motivated team of UI/UX designers and own the design strategy for our platform. You'll set direction, ship high-quality designs, interactions, and prototypes, and steer projects from concept to launch.

You'll work end-to-end on UI/UX — partnering closely with engineers, product managers, and executive leadership to ensure designs are intuitive, technically sound, and aligned with business goals. You'll lead the team while staying hands-on: creating UX flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals yourself. Your work will directly support Ketryx's mission to help medical device manufacturers bring life-saving innovations to market faster and more safely.

This is a hybrid role requiring at least four days per week on-site in Vienna or Boston, with regular travel between the two offices.

Responsibilities:

You're an experienced UI/UX designer with a deep passion for software and a track record of shipping exceptional user experiences. You're equally comfortable thinking about design, product, and business — and you're motivated by the opportunity to improve patient outcomes through better technology. You set the UX vision and work cross-functionally to turn it into intuitive, user-centered solutions. You communicate clearly in English, both written and spoken, and you thrive in environments where ideas move fast.

You're a self-starter who does well in early-stage startups, balancing team leadership with hands-on design work. You embrace AI as a core part of how modern products — and modern design teams — are built, and you bring that mindset to your craft.

Ideally, you're based in Vienna or Boston, or ready to relocate quickly. Unfortunately, we're unable to sponsor immigration visas at this time.

• Managing and growing a team of designers and design projects
• Collaborate closely with product managers and developers to shape features
• Develop features from concept through prototype to developer handoff
• Meet with users virtually and in person for discovery work and design reviews
• Regular travel between Boston and Vienna (approx. 1 week every 6 weeks)

Required Skills:

• 8+ years of industry experience designing software user interfaces and workflows
• Prior experience managing a team of designers
• Prior experience with designing web apps and design systems
• Ability to quickly demonstrate product knowledge
• Ability to think through complex interaction design
• Hands-on UI and UX design work
• Experience with prototyping in Figma and with AI

Preferred Skills:

• Prior experience in a regulated industry
• Degree in design or user experience
