Technical Co-Founder for Startup (Entrepreneur in Residence) – Berlin/Remote
ABOUT BEAM
Beam is a Berlin-based startup company builder with a bias for (intra-)logistics and technical challenges. We are supported by BEUMER Group – a family business and one of the world’s leading intralogistics companies. We offer pre-seed funding; access to potential customers; solid launch support; and, above all, validated business opportunities for those who want to launch a startup.
European logistics companies turn over more than €1,300B annually, making logistics the fourth largest industry in Europe. Startups are only beginning to scratch the surface of the transformation made possible by applying software to business problems, and Beam is a part of this change.
We are looking for a technical technical co-founder to join one of our pre-seed startups in revolutionizing parcel logistics. Logistics networks are built for rare demand peaks like Christmas or Black Friday but remain underutilized most of the year. Billions of euros in capital investments and high fixed costs put enormous financial pressure on carriers. We are working on an innovative solution to smooth out peak demand, with the goal of improving the profitability of parcel logistics.
The solution we have in mind:
- By empowering retailers to pre-ship parcels before the customer clicks “buy,” we pull parcel volume ahead of peak demand and relieve pressure on logistics networks.
- Demand forecasts are turned into real-time product availability, enabling instant access and shifting e-commerce from rapid delivery to immediate ownership.
- Our AI decision engine matches forecasts, inventory and delivery networks, optimizing parcel flows and resources at scale to maximize margin and customer experience.
YOU'LL BE THE PERFECT MATCH IF
- You’re an engineer with a strong technical backbone and leadership mindset, ideally with CTO experience.
- You have a track record of running your own startups and successfully building ventures.
- You have a strong interest in AI and automation, ideally with experience applying them to real-world problems.
- You’re excited to work in e-commerce operations, ideally with experience integrating or building platforms.
- You have the drive to build the next big thing and bring it successfully to market together with us.
WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON
- Engage with your role as technical co-founder and help grow the company from early stage to scale.
- Build and lead technical development, be a product owner, and make sure to launch world-class products.
- Shape and own the AI-driven technical vision and system architecture that will transform parcel logistics.
- Design an industry-changing solution for carriers, retailers and shoppers, shaping the future of e-commerce.
- You will choose and lead your dream tech team to deliver groundbreaking products and drive an industry revolution.
WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US
- You’ll work with highly motivated people who want to succeed. Besides a passion for the cause, this means a small team with room for growth, making a difference, and a high learning curve.
- You get to join a preseed startup, own and operate the product, drive the vision forward, and own your solution.
- You have an unfair advantage of working with BEUMER Group, a world champion in intra-logistics.
