Focus: Privacy-Compliant AI Solutions for the European Market

I am looking for a technical Co-Founder or Co-Architect to build AI solutions for the European market together with me — with a strong focus on data privacy, local language models, and independent infrastructure instead of relying on large cloud providers.

Who I’m Looking For

I’m looking for someone with at least 5–10 years of experience in IT, who brings deep technical understanding and the ambition to build something from the ground up.

Ideally, you are a true tech nerd in the best sense: You love taking on new technological challenges, enjoy experimenting with new tools, frameworks, and architectures, and are not afraid to dive into both software and infrastructure topics.

Whether it’s AI architecture, local LLMs, backend systems, DevOps, Kubernetes, security, data privacy, or scalable infrastructure — you should enjoy solving complex problems and exploring new paths.

What We Want to Build Together

We want to develop AI solutions for companies in Europe that are:

  • privacy-compliant and GDPR-friendly

  • based on local or self-hosted language models

  • not fully dependent on OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, AWS, or other large cloud providers

  • secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready

  • focused on solving real business problems rather than just building “AI demos”

The focus is on practical AI applications for businesses, such as internal knowledge systems, intelligent assistants, automation, document analysis, RAG systems, local LLM infrastructure, and AI workflows.

Your Role

As Co-Founder / Co-Architect, you will work closely with me on the technical vision, architecture, and execution.

Your responsibilities may include:

  • Shaping the technical product strategy

  • Designing AI, backend, and infrastructure architectures

  • Building local LLM setups and RAG systems

  • Evaluating and integrating new AI technologies

  • Developing scalable and secure systems

  • Building prototypes, MVPs, and later production-ready solutions

  • Selecting suitable open-source models, tools, and frameworks

  • Thinking through data privacy, security, compliance, and operations

  • Acting as a technical sparring partner at eye level

Your Profile

Ideally, you bring:

  • 5–10+ years of experience in IT, software development, architecture, or infrastructure

  • Strong technical understanding across multiple domains

  • Experience with cloud, on-premise, or hybrid infrastructure

  • Interest or experience in AI, LLMs, RAG, vector databases, or machine learning

  • Knowledge of backend development, APIs, and system architecture

  • Experience with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, or DevOps is a plus

  • Understanding of data privacy, security, and European regulatory requirements

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and the desire to build something from scratch

  • Self-initiative, curiosity, and a passion for experimentation

What Matters to Me

I’m not looking for a traditional employee, but for a Co-Founder at eye level.

Someone who does more than just execute tasks — someone who thinks along, challenges ideas, contributes their own perspective, and helps shape a long-term technical vision.

You should be excited to think big, while staying pragmatic enough to quickly build and test first solutions in the market.

What You Can Expect

  • An early-stage Co-Founder role with significant room to shape the company

  • Building an AI company focused on Europe, data privacy, and technological independence

  • Working on exciting AI, LLM, and infrastructure challenges

  • Technical freedom and room for experimentation

  • Direct influence on product, architecture, and strategy

  • Collaboration as equal partners

In Short

I’m looking for an experienced, curious, and entrepreneurial technical Co-Founder who wants to build privacy-compliant AI solutions for the European market with me — local, secure, independent, and future-oriented.
