About Andercore

Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials and goods for energy and infrastructure. We execute trade and distribution end-to-end, on our own account, at the speed of compute - and we are becoming the supplier of record for the entire industry.

Industrial procurement is a €900B market in Europe alone and the largest manual market on earth. 95% of customers have no direct access to global supply chains. Materials pass through four or five intermediaries before they reach a site, and 40% of the margin evaporates on the way. For decades, the operating system of this industry was people: people to source, negotiate, finance, ship, and sell.

We built the alternative from scratch. We are the supplier. We buy from global sources and sell to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, credit, and financing. One request. A firm quote in minutes. Delivered on time. For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier. No warehouses. No fleet. No inventory risk. Every trade is pre-sold before it is bought.

We are also the credit counterparty. Customers are scored and insured in minutes and get up to 60 days of payment terms priced into the quote itself. The working capital behind every trade is bank-funded, not equity-funded.

Where we are today:

Strong triple-digit-million euro turnover run rate, the majority of it from repeat customers

Seven European markets live, sourced from suppliers across Asia and beyond

80+ people across Berlin (HQ), London, and Shanghai

$90M raised in equity and debt, including our $40M Series B, from Atomico, Project A, Target Global, and Inven Capital - with working capital facilities from UniCredit and KfW

The margin is in the bits. The moat is in the atoms. We are building the supplier of record for industrial materials - and redefining how global trade works in one of the largest and most essential industries on earth.

Role Overview

As VP Engineering, you own the Engineering organization and turn our platform and AI vision into shipped systems. You report to the Chief Product Officer and partner closely with product, commercial, operations, and finance. You lead our Senior Product Engineers, Staff Engineers and QA, and work closely with our product managers, who own product and design.

This is an execution mandate. You carve our core systems into a modern platform, build our AI agents into one holistic system that runs the trade lifecycle end-to-end, and scale the teams that deliver it. You inherit a working machine at full speed: your job is to rebuild it in flight without losing a day of momentum. In your first year, the priorities are the carve-out of our transaction core and bringing our AI agents into one orchestrating layer.

Key Responsibilities

AI and Automation

Build our AI agents into one holistic, orchestrating AI layer across sourcing, pricing, quoting, sales, logistics, and financing.

Drive automation of the full transaction lifecycle, and own automation-rate and no touch-quote targets as first-class delivery KPIs.

Work with our data team, which sits with the CPO, on systems that make our trade flows a compounding advantage, so every transaction makes the system smarter.

Keep us at the practical frontier of agentic AI: ship what creates leverage now, skip what is demo-ware.

Put the guardrails, evals, and human-in-the loop controls in place so automation stays reliable where it matters most: money touching and customer-facing paths, where a wrong output is a real loss, not just a bug.

Platform and Architecture

Own execution of the target architecture for the Andercore platform, the system of record for industrial trade.

Lead the carve-out of our transaction core into a modern, modular light ERP (a lean core system for our trade transactions), with a clear migration path and zero disruption to daily trading.

Shape the role of Salesforce in our landscape: decide what stays on the platform, what moves to the new core, and how the two work together.
