About this job

Muris is building the AI operating system for agricultural logistics, optimizing the process from field to factory. Our food supply chains are increasingly exposed to fluctuations, caused by factors such as weather, prices, and labor shortages. We are working to make our food supply chains more sustainable, resilient, and future-ready.

You are the first technical hire. Your job is to turn messy operations into a decidable problem and ship the result so that dispatchers actually use it. Everything in between is yours: data, model, system, interface.

What you do

Formalize dispatching problems: what is being decided, at what granularity, under which assumptions, against which objectives.
Choose the simplest model that carries the decision. Heuristic before solver, solver before learning.
Define the evaluation before you build. What would a better decision have been, and how would we know.
Ship end-to-end: from the data pipeline through the model to the interface the dispatcher looks at. A recommendation nobody understands doesn't count.

This is not for you if

you're looking for a narrowly scoped specialist role

you want to solve open research questions

you want to fit a given dataset instead of formulating the problem yourself

you're not willing to visit our customers at the factories

you've turned messy reality into a decision problem before (OR, dispatch, planning, pricing, allocation)
you've built and operated production systems that people depend on
you're quantitatively strong and still prefer owning the whole over owning the method
you can explain models without hiding behind the method
you can work with incomplete data and hard constraints

We work in English. German is a big plus. Polish or Ukrainian helps too. We're based in Berlin. The plants are not.

Real ownership: as the first technical hire you get meaningful VSOP equity. You work directly with the founders, and every week you see whether your decisions hold up at the plant. We are transparent about salary and the full package in the first call.

We work in a hybrid model with three days in the office and two days working remotely.

A short call, then a work sample on a real problem, then a day with us. References, offer.

You need an existing work permit for Germany.
