Ideas only change the world when you build them at scale. That’s what Dryft is here for.
Dryft builds models that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. We capture the knowledge of experienced operators across supply chain, production planning, engineering and more, simulate the consequences of their decisions, and use this understanding to help run their business. Our customers include some of the largest robotics, machine and component manufacturers in the world.
We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world: cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM and TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and people who have built everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.
What matters more to us than credentials is how people work: humility, hard work, speed, kindness, deep customer care, and a willingness to take on problems others avoid. Working at Dryft is hard. You get unusual ownership early on, with real responsibility. But that’s also what makes it one of the biggest learning experiences of your life.
We’re backed by founders and operators behind some of the most legendary tech companies of our time, Tier-1 U.S. venture firms, and board members of global industrial companies.
ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is building the intelligence layer that will power the next.
As our Forward Deployed Engineer, you split your time 50/50 between engineering and customer interaction. No role will teach you more about becoming a great founder, listener & builder. One day you're integrating a legacy ERP, the next you're on a flight to a shop floor in Mexico, and in between you ship the fix. You'll navigate stakeholders from IT to the C-level, all at once, and nothing really prepares you for it.
Lead full-stack rollouts – own implementations end-to-end, from scoping and onboarding to integration and training, and align IT teams, engineers and C-level execs across Germany, the EU and the US
Design the product backbone – work hands-on with users, translate their pain into product improvements, and prototype features yourself, ideally writing production code when needed
Turn operations into product – every deployment becomes a blueprint for scale: you turn what you learned into reusable product features, data models and playbooks, and grow into roles like CPO or COO
This is a high-ownership, zero-handholding role, and only for someone who loves turning complexity into clarity and ships working solutions under pressure.
Fast-paced experience – 2+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as a founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup, with a technical degree or background
Engineer first – you write production code, understand systems end-to-end, and when something breaks at a customer, you find the root cause
Industrial background – experience in manufacturing, industrial software, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain is a plus
Product-minded – you listen to rants about ERP, nod wisely, and somehow turn them into product features that feel like magic
Quality-obsessed – you hold yourself to a high bar, dive deep into problems, and care about getting it right, not just getting it done
Ultra-professional & detail-obsessed – you earn trust with structure, polish, and docs so clean even a CTO stops asking questions
Crisis communicator – when things get hard, people look to you; you calm an impatient exec, win over a skeptical IT leader, and still crack a joke in the middle of it
Down-to-earth & relatable – you bond with shop-floor operators as easily as with boardroom execs, and you'll put on the safety shoes without being asked
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in Munich (we support visa), with 10 to 30% travel
FE (TypeScript): React, Chakra UI v3, TanStack Router, TanStack Query, Vite

This is the most entrepreneurial and founder-like role we have at Dryft. As a Deployment Lead, you'll face questions you've never heard before, processes you've never seen, and customers who expected answers yesterday. One day you're with C-level executives, the next with shop-floor users trying AI for the first time, and in between you're building prototypes. Your goal is to find the solution that creates the most value, get it running, and make Dryft indispensable.
Lead deployments end-to-end – carry our customers from the first executive workshop to production use across their plants, with C-level execs, operators and IT
Shape the product – work daily with users, turn messy workflows into features, and collaborate closely with engineering to push the roadmap forward
Build for scale – turn deployments into repeatable playbooks and product features, build and lead the deployment team, and grow into roles like CPO or COO
This isn't a role where you sit back and follow a process. You'll be in the trenches, under pressure, solving problems most people wouldn't touch. You sit between our customers, product and engineering, and what you bring back shapes where Dryft goes next.
Fast-paced experience – 6+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as an ex-founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup
Technically fluent & AI-native – you're comfortable with data, APIs and integrations, and you enjoy experimenting with new AI tools (experience with Claude Code is a plus)
Industrial at heart – you've worked with manufacturing, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain, and you find these companies fascinating
Founder DNA – you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and anticipate next priorities instead of waiting for direction
Product-minded – you listen to rants about ERP, nod wisely, and somehow turn them into product features that feel like magic
Competitive by nature – you have a track record of winning at something hard, and you're not done winning
Confident communicator – you can calm an impatient exec, win over a skeptical IT leader, and still crack a joke in the middle of it
Down-to-earth & relatable – you bond with shop-floor operators as easily as with boardroom execs, and you'll put on the safety shoes without being asked
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in Munich, with around 30% travel

Build agents people trust – when an agent runs a factory's week, the largest industrial companies in the world have to trust it with their critical processes and understand every decision it makes; you build the routing, orchestration and guardrails behind that
Own features end-to-end – you understand the user need, and you get the freedom to build it across the LLM pipeline, infrastructure, backend and frontend, all the way to production
Work close to the users – sit with the planners who use it, see what would make their work 10x faster, and build it
You'll build the core of the product, and what you ship decides what a plant does next week.

As our Head of Marketing & Creative, you'll bring the energy of the best B2C brands to a company that builds AI for factories, machines and the people who run them. One day you're filming a rollout on a shop floor in rural Germany; the next you're turning it into the post everyone shares; and the night after, you're filming the after-party at a hackathon we host. You'll find the story that turns Dryft into a brand people remember.
Make Dryft impossible to miss – show the team, the plants and the after-parties, so the best people, customers and partners come to us before we reach out to them
Build the content engine – write, design, shoot and edit it yourself, from launch posts to customer stories, trailers, photos and content sessions with the whole team
Set the creative direction – you define how Dryft looks and sounds everywhere, from the website and the smallest design detail to new launches, trade shows and hackathons
The direction you set decides how customers, candidates and investors see Dryft.
Proven creator – you've grown an audience, yours or a brand's, and you know what converts, not just what looks good
Master of the hook – you're a great storyteller in writing and on camera, and you know how to grab attention in the first two seconds
Cinematic eye – you film, light and edit in a cinematic style that makes a hydraulic press look like a movie
Designer, too – you design as well as you film and write, and you spot a misaligned logo on a trade show banner from across the hall
Always hunting for inspiration – you spot new formats on LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube before they take off, and you use what works before anyone else does
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in San Francisco (we support visa)

The best startups are built by exceptional people. As our Technical Community Lead, you'll spend your time meeting the most extraordinary builders, students, operators, founders and investors, often before they are actively considering their next move.
Host the room everyone wants to be in – run the hackathons, events and parties the best builders fly in for, where they meet each other, and meet Dryft
Connected everywhere it counts – from lecture halls to VC offices to late-night founder dinners, grow a network around Dryft that opens every door
Raise the bar with every hire – turn those relationships into exceptional hires; every person you bring into Dryft should raise the bar for the entire company
Building the world's best team is Dryft's highest priority, and this role gives you a front-row seat to what it takes to build a generational company.
Community builder – you bring together exceptional builders, founders and researchers, and nobody leaves when it's over
Talent radar – you know \"who is going to make it\" before anyone else; you might even run a secret spreadsheet of them at home
Magnetic energy – people feel it the moment you walk in; exceptional people are drawn to you, and leave inspired and excited about an ambitious mission
Founder mindset – you move with urgency, take full ownership, and build networks and systems from the ground up
Engineer at heart – you understand what engineers and operators are building, and they can tell from the first conversation

Ideas only change the world when you build them at scale. That’s what Dryft is here for.
Dryft builds models that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. We capture the knowledge of experienced operators across supply chain, production planning, engineering and more, simulate the consequences of their decisions, and use this understanding to help run their business. Our customers include some of the largest robotics, machine and component manufacturers in the world.
We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world: cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM and TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and people who have built everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.
What matters more to us than credentials is how people work: humility, hard work, speed, kindness, deep customer care, and a willingness to take on problems others avoid. Working at Dryft is hard. You get unusual ownership early on, with real responsibility. But that’s also what makes it one of the biggest learning experiences of your life.
We’re backed by founders and operators behind some of the most legendary tech companies of our time, Tier-1 U.S. venture firms, and board members of global industrial companies.
ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is building the intelligence layer that will power the next.
Dryft is growing fast, and as our GTM Lead, you'll accelerate everything that comes next. One day you're in a boardroom winning over a room full of skeptics, the next you're on a plane to a partner's plant to turn their pilot into a multi-year partnership, and the week after you're at one of the biggest trade shows in the world.
Open new partnerships – find the manufacturers who need Dryft the most, and own every step from the first touchpoint to the C-level conversation to the signed pilot
Grow every partnership – become the person our partners call first, expand from one plant to every plant they run, and shape what Dryft builds next
Build a scalable GTM engine – turn what works into the playbook for every next partner, lay the foundation for the future team, and grow into roles like Head of GTM or Head of Europe/US
There's no blueprint yet. You'll build it with our founders, and you'll be the reason we scale even faster.
Fast-paced experience – 2+ years in a top-tier client-facing role (e.g., consulting), as an ex-founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup
Industrial background – experience in manufacturing, industrial software, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain is a plus
Executive presence – you read a boardroom in ten seconds, and leave an impression they still talk about weeks later
Sharp mind – you pick up a new industry over a weekend, and remember the detail everyone else forgot three meetings ago
Ultra-professional & detail-obsessed – you earn trust with structure, polish, and docs so clean even a CFO would shed a tear
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in Munich, with 30 to 50% travel

As our Founders Associate Intern, you'll step into the shoes of a founder. You'll own the highest-priority projects across product, sales, hiring or operations. One day you're on site with a client, the next you're building a new prototype, and in between you're hosting a hackathon for the best builders in the city.
Work on what matters most – whatever the founders are in the middle of, you take it off their plate and own it end-to-end
Build from zero – launch the things that don't exist yet at Dryft, from a new market entry to prototypes to our next event
Fast-track your career – prove yourself across every part of the company, and grow into a full-time role in Deployment, Growth or Special Projects
You'll learn how a company gets built, from the inside, at full speed. And yes, this will be the hardest internship you've ever had.
Fast-paced experience – 2-3 internships in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting, private equity), at a high-growth startup, or you've built something of your own
Founder DNA – you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and anticipate next priorities instead of waiting for direction
Learning at full speed – you're useful in week one and indispensable by week four
Competitive by nature – you've won at something hard, and you're not done winning
Gets shit done & zero ego – you move fast, figure things out, and you'd rather ship it than get the credit
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in San Francisco (we support visa)

This is the most entrepreneurial and founder-like role we have at Dryft. As a Deployment Strategist, you'll face questions you've never heard before, processes you've never seen, and customers who expected answers yesterday. One day you're with C-level executives, the next with shop-floor users trying AI for the first time, and in between you're building prototypes. Your goal is to find the solution that creates the most value, get it running, and make Dryft indispensable.
Own deployments end-to-end – carry our customers from the first executive workshop to production use across their plants, with C-level execs, operators and IT
Shape the product – work daily with users, turn messy workflows into features, and collaborate closely with engineering to push the roadmap forward
Build for scale – turn deployments into repeatable playbooks and product features, lay the foundation for the future team, and grow into roles like Deployment Lead or Head of Europe/US
This isn't a role where you sit back and follow a process. You'll be in the trenches, under pressure, solving problems most people wouldn't touch. You sit between our customers, product and engineering, and what you bring back shapes where Dryft goes next.
Fast-paced experience – 2+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as an ex-founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup
Technically fluent & AI-native – you're comfortable with data, APIs and integrations, and you enjoy experimenting with new AI tools (experience with Claude Code is a plus)
Industrial background – experience in manufacturing, industrial software, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain is a plus
Founder DNA – you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and anticipate next priorities instead of waiting for direction
Product-minded – you listen to rants about ERP, nod wisely, and somehow turn them into product features that feel like magic
Competitive by nature – you have a track record of winning at something hard, and you're not done winning
Confident communicator – you can calm an impatient exec, win over a skeptical IT leader, and still crack a joke in the middle of it
Down-to-earth & relatable – you bond with shop-floor operators as easily as with boardroom execs, and you'll put on the safety shoes without being asked
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in Munich, with around 30% travel

As a Member of Technical Staff Intern, you'll build the system that decides how some of the largest manufacturers in the world operate. That means combining agent-based reasoning with mathematical optimization and simulation on large-scale industrial data.
Build agents people trust – when an agent runs a factory's week, the largest industrial companies in the world have to trust it with their critical processes and understand every decision it makes; you build the routing, orchestration and guardrails behind that
Ship features end-to-end – you understand the user need, and you get the freedom to build it across the LLM pipeline, infrastructure, backend and frontend, in production in your first weeks
Work close to the users – sit with the planners who use it, see what would make their work 10x faster, and build it
You'll own your own features from day one, and what you ship decides what a plant does next week.
Full-stack shipper – you've shipped production code end-to-end, you build scalable backend and infra that handles massive amounts of structured and unstructured data, and you build the interface that makes it usable
Highly technical – you've built something technically hard, and you can walk us through every decision behind it
Product sense – you spot the feature hiding in a user's complaint, and you've deleted your own favorite one because nobody used it
You care about getting it right – you know when it has to be 100% and when to keep it simple, and when it matters, you're still chasing the root cause at 2am
Sense of urgency – you'd rather ship it tonight than sleep on an open PR
Language – you're fully fluent in German and English
Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in Munich (we support visa)
