## ABOUT ATIRA

Atira builds the commercial brain for industrials. Our agents 10x the sales engineers of today by offering the complete toolbox of tasks needed in complex environments. They handle everything from extracting and classifying requirements from incoming RFQs, orchestrating communication and information retrieval across multiple stakeholders and systems, while generating outcomes like documentation, production system inputs, or configuration recommendations. CRM. Atira. ERP.

We are one of the fastest growing teams in Munich and are looking for you to join us!

WHY DEPLOYMENT STRATEGISTS ARE OUR CUSTOMERS' #1 GO-TO PERSON

We aim to solve the most complex problems in sales engineering and work closely with customers in mapping out their ideal inbound process. You will dive into our enterprise customers processes to help deploy Atira agents with our FDEs and face their most intricate challenges. You are the go-to person inside our largest partners for anything project management and use case scoping related, and this from the point where you demo our product for the first time up until multi-annual partnership commercial negotiations. Trust and use case insights are your two most valuable resources you get from customers and what you bring back home will directly shape our core platform in the near future - this requires a strong taste when it comes to how a software product is shaped and a strong opinion on what is needed to maximize customer satisfaction. Beyond that, our Deployment Strategists think beyond a single customer and are essential in figuring out the concrete steps to scale to our next 100 customers by accelerating onboarding processes and increasing customer satisfaction.

## WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Own the customer end-to-end together with an FDE Tech Lead. From kickoff to renewal, you are on the hook. You run SteerCos, scope deployments, drive onboarding, and decide what gets built next.
- Scope the agents that work best for a customer You go deep on each customer's technical sales process, understanding it in all it’s details. You bring home whatever solves their problems and conceptualize this across all of your customers
- Decide what scales and what doesn't. You sit at the boundary between customer work and the core platform. You translate customer behavior into product feedback features and will need to be opinionated on product / our agents
- Identify, elevate and partner with end users as well as C-Level. You support the internal owner and help scope the long term growth plan.
- Tell the story. You speak at industry events, co-author case studies, and represent Atira in front of customer executives and prospects. The GTM motion is built around the stories you create

## WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Ownership, drive, structured thinking, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity and open ended problems. You take problems personally, decide in the absence of a clear roadmap, and own the outcome including the downside.

## Your profile

- Demonstrated ownership and initiative: a company you started, a leading role in a team or larger project
- 3+ Years customer facing experience working with both end users and C-Level
- You thrive in customer-facing situations: high-stakes conversations with executives energize you, you push back when needed, and you walk out with a clear next step
- You’ve optimized your AI tooling: you’ve invested heavily in building the skills and context layer to get the maximum out of your day
- Relevant coding or strong analytical experience
- Full working proficiency in both German and English
- Frontend and app-building / Feature taste
- Occasional on-site travel per customer requirements; 20-40% overall (DACH primarily, occasionally international)

## WHAT YOU'LL GET

- Real ownership: you'll be one of the early team members and shape both product and comapny as well as work closely with customers
- Strong peers: work with people who have built and shipped AI systems in industrial environments at scale before, and the chance to learn directly from them
- Impactful work: your code is deployed all across Europe’s and US industrial backbone, affecting how complex products and services are sold and configured worldwide
- Competitive salary & equity package and additional benefits including Wellpass, JobRad and company dinners
- Most importantly: Collaborate & thrive in a high-performing but caring culture. We will own the industrial sales function but will do so with modesty and integrity

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AFTER A FEW MONTHS

- You independently run enterprise deployments end-to-end, from kickoff to production
- Customers rely on you as their primary contact and trust your judgment
- Your learnings have shaped core platform features and the playbook for the customers who come after you

## About Atira

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Atira develops AI agents that automate the intake and processing of complex technical inquiries and requirement specifications for sales engineering workflows in manufacturing.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped/Unfunded)
- **Headquarters**: Munich (Gräfelfing), Germany
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Florian Diegruber (Co-Founder & CEO) and August DuMont Schütte (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-powered Sales Engineering Software (Configure-Price-Quote / CPQ) for industrial manufacturing
- **Target customers**: B2B; specifically engineering organizations and manufacturers operating in the "Configure-to-Order" space with high custom solution ratios (e.g., modular machine builders, plant manufacturers)
- **Mission**: To build a global software champion that gives sales and mechanical engineers an AI-first upgrade, ensuring the best machinery products are quoted and sold efficiently. The company believes Munich will become the central hub for software engineers applying their skills to hardware challenges.

## Products & Services
- **Extract into Structured Content**: Instantly converts complex RFQs and heavyweight technical documents into organized requirements, ready for downstream workflows.
- **Auto-Suggest Commentary**: Automatically detects technical contradictions and generates expert commentary for every requirement by cross-referencing inquiries against product constraints and historic project data.
- **Capture Internal Know-How**: Transforms archived documentation into a self-organizing knowledge base that lets teams search and retrieve engineering solutions instantly.
- **Optimize Technical Solutions**: Processes complex CPQ & ERP rule engines to apply deterministic approaches to the classification of processed requirements.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (bootstrapped, no funding rounds raised)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — None raised (bootstrapped as of June 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Advisory board includes Dr. Markus Flik (Chair LMT Group; Board Trumpf, Festo, Hittech), Eberhard Weiblen (CEO Porsche Consulting), Christian Beedgen (Founder, ex-CTO Sumo Logic), Michael Wax (Founder, ex-CEO Forto), Dr. Leopold von Schlenk-Barn, Khushnud Irani (CEO InfoKrafts, ex-CIO LafargeHolcim), Christof Wahl (Founder & Investor, ex-CDO ProSiebenSat.1)

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover in AI for industrial sales engineering**: Atira is building the world's first AI sales workforce specifically for complex inbound processes in manufacturing, a niche largely ignored by legacy CPQ vendors.
- **Deep domain focus**: The platform is pre-trained on industry-specific engineering data (RFQs, technical specs, product constraints) rather than being a generic document parser, creating a significant moat.
- **Integration with existing enterprise systems**: Works with PLM, CRM, and ERP systems, reducing friction for adoption in traditional manufacturing environments.
- **Strong advisory board**: Backed by heavyweights from Porsche Consulting, Trumpf, Festo, Sumo Logic, and Forto, lending credibility and industry access.

## Strategic Focus
- **Product-led growth**: Building a suite of specialized AI "department agents" that can be personalized for complex inbound processes, starting with sales engineering and expanding to procurement and other functions.
- **Talent density**: Prioritizing a small, high-ownership team with above-market compensation and equity to attract top-tier AI and engineering talent.
- **Munich as a hub**: Actively positioning Munich as the central hub for applying cutting-edge AI to hardware and industrial challenges.
- **Bootstrapped discipline**: Operating without external funding, which forces a focus on product-market fit and sustainable unit economics from day one.

## Why Work Here
- **High ownership, small team**: With only ~14 employees, new hires will have outsized impact and responsibility from day one.
- **Cutting-edge tech stack**: The company emphasizes using the most advanced AI tooling available, offering engineers the chance to work on frontier AI applied to real-world hardware problems.
- **Above-market compensation**: The company explicitly offers above-market salary and equity, unusual for a bootstrapped startup.
- **Munich location**: Based in Munich's high-tech landscape, bridging industrial excellence with frontier AI.
- **Engineering culture**: Built by engineers for engineers; the team is 50% technical, with a flat structure and high autonomy.
- **Hybrid/remote flexibility**: The company has a presence in Munich and Switzerland, and recent hires include a Forward Deployed Engineer from Vienna, suggesting flexibility for the right candidates.
- **Small team, big impact**: With only 14 people, every hire directly shapes the product and company trajectory.
