TL;DR — alago brings AI-powered project management to the construction industry. As our Product Associate, you'll help build our discovery engine: the system that turns customer pains into shipped features on autopilot. Working student, on-site in Munich.
About alago
Imagine if building a building were as easy as building software. Every moving part visible, every change traceable, every decision still carrying its reasoning six months later.
Software got there by making its own history legible — every commit, every diff. Construction never did. A €200M project runs on plan sets nobody can diff and decisions buried in email, so the same mistakes happen over and over — and the industry loses $1.6 trillion a year to it.
That's what we're fixing. Eleven people, 20+ customers, €1M+ pre-seed from leading construction-tech VCs and one of Germany's largest project developers.
Aufgaben
Product management is changing forever: continuous discovery, specs written for agents as much as engineers, customer pain to shipped feature in days. You get to learn it now, on a real product with real customers.
You'll help build our discovery engine, the workflows and AI agents that catch what customers complain about and turn it into prioritized product input, and you'll be the first person to run it. What we decide to build next comes out of what you surface.
This is a new kind of role, sitting at the intersection of product, engineering and customer success:
📋 Product Operations
- Turn customer feedback into actionable product insights
- Write the specs those insights become, precise enough that an engineer or an AI agent builds from them without a follow-up call
- Improve and implement our discovery process — tools, workflows, standards
🤝 Customer Success
- Support customer implementations and deployments
- Create feature demo videos and customer tutorials
- Talk to users about what's working and what isn't
You will be working closely with Vinzenz (CTO) and Ann (CPO).
After six months you'll have shipped features you can point to, specs you'd show as work samples, real fluency in Cursor and Claude Code on a production product, and a system that keeps running after you leave.
Qualifikation
This is the perfect role for a motivated student who wants to gain hands-on experience at an early-stage company and help shape the future of construction with applied AI. Whether you dream of founding your own company one day or see yourself growing with us long-term, you'll gain invaluable skills and make a real impact here.
- German at C1+ — you'll handle customer conversations in German construction terminology
- Enrolled in a master's program, available for 6+ months
- You like writing. Specs, docs, release notes. Writing is thinking, not paperwork.
- You think in systems: when something works, you make it repeatable
- You'd rather ask a customer than guess what they meant
Bonus Points:
- You’ve built or contributed to projects using Loveable, v0, Cursor or similar
- You’ve participated in hackathons
- Great UI/UX excites you
