About BoWatt

BoWatt is building agentic requirements and system engineering software for manufacturing. We believe AI will reach PhD-level engineering capability within the next 10 years. This will unlock massive value across several complex manufacturing industries. Cars. Planes. Rockets. Factories. Chips. Medical devices. All will be engineered with agents.

We bootstrapped BoWatt to €500k+ ARR before raising our first round. BoWatt is backed by tier-1 investors, including Atlantic Foodlabs, Buildery (CDTM affiliates), and Prequel Ventures, along with angels from Cohere and Luminovo.

You’ll join a small, exceptional team of startup builders, driven by innovation and execution. Over half the team are former founders across DeepTech AI, psychedelics, and gaming. We’ve studied and worked at top institutions and companies like Stanford, TUM, Google, EA, and YC-backed AI startups.

The role

• Own outbound prospecting via cold email, LinkedIn and cold calling to build a qualified lead pipeline
• Convert inbound leads into booked demos, fast and reliably
• Build and refine our outreach playbook: messaging, sequences and positioning
• Sit in on every demo to understand how we sell and what customers care about
• Track your activity in the CRM and flag what's working and what isn't
• Nurture long-term accounts with thoughtful follow-ups and signal-based reactivations
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our founder Steven, with no layers and no bureaucracy

You

• 4 days per week in our Munich office (Balanstraße)
• Fluent German required; English is our internal working language
