Platform & Ecosystem Owner

ppgoNEON is building the operating system for infrastructure engineering. /ppOur AI executes engineering workflows across spatial data, regulations, and legacy software, enabling engineers to complete analyses that once took weeks in minutes. We believe infrastructure engineering should move at the speed of AI—while keeping engineers in control of every decision. /ppWe’re transitioning from building workflows ourselves to building the platform where engineers build, share, and deploy their own. We’re looking for someone to own that platform. Our ambition is simple: make goNEON the place where infrastructure engineers build, share, and deploy AI workflows. /ph3What you’ll do /h3ulliOwn the platform: Build and scale the environment where infrastructure engineers discover, build, run, and share AI-powered engineering workflows. Own the technical development and user experience across the platform, website, and eventually desktop applications. /liliBecome the technical face of goNEON: Build a community of developers around the platform. Speak at conferences, organize hackathons, contribute to open source, publish technical content, and build relationships across the AI, developer, and geospatial communities. When developers think about infrastructure AI, they should think of goNEON, and you. /liliLead execution: Build and lead a team of engineers and contractors that ships the platform. Set technical direction, raise the engineering bar, and ensure the platform is delivered with exceptional quality and speed. /liliTurn technology into product: Work closely with the founders to transform breakthrough technology into a platform users love. Decide what belongs in the core computational backend, remove complexity, and create an exceptional experience for our users and workflow developers. /liliOperate like a founder: Translate vision into execution. Prioritize relentlessly, make decisions quickly, and take ownership without waiting for permission. /li /ulh3What success looks like /h3pUsers and outside developers build real workflows on goNEON without us in the loop, with a community forming around doing it. The team you lead ships fast, and the platform gets stronger with every release. What once required our direct involvement becomes something users build themselves. /ph3What we’re looking for /h3ulliStrong software engineering fundamentals with experience building production systems (especially in Python, Next.js, and Postgres) /liliStrong end-to-end ownership: you naturally take responsibility from idea through delivery and adoption /liliEntrepreneurial mindset—you naturally identify what should exist next, not just what has been asked for /liliPractical experience with geospatial software, GIS, or spatial computing /liliExperience leading engineers, contractors, or technical teams /liliOutstanding technical judgment and decision-making /liliGenuinely excited by AI and AI-native in how you work /liliComfortable operating in ambiguity and moving fast /liliBased in Zürich (full-time, on-site) /li /ulh3Especially valuable /h3ulliA dual profile: equally comfortable discussing platform architecture with engineers and representing goNEON in the user and developer community /liliExperience building developer platforms, SDKs, APIs, or self-serve products /liliDevRel, open-source, hackathon, or technical community experience /liliExperience building products users and workflow developers genuinely love using /liliBackground in GIS, geospatial software, or developer tools /li /ulh3Who this role is for /h3ulliYou’re an engineer by training and a community builder by mindset. /liliYou love building platforms that other people build on. You’re equally energized by writing code, discussing architecture, speaking at a meetup, helping another developer, or watching someone create something unexpected with your platform. /liliYou want to build not only the technology, but also the community around it. You care as much about the people building on your platform as the platform itself. /li /ulh3Who this role is not for /h3ulliSomeone who never built a production-ready software product before /liliSomeone who wants to implement tickets rather than own a platform /liliSomeone who prefers staying behind the scenes /liliSomeone uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information /li /ul /p
