1. The company, its business and its ambition
The ambition. Fabriq is bringing European industry into the 21st century: making factories more competitive and frontline teams more autonomous. This is not only a software play, it is the industrial relocalisation project.
The business. Fabriq is the SaaS platform that replaces the whiteboards and Excel spreadsheets still running 80% of industrial sites. Operators, team leads and plant managers track real-time KPIs (safety, quality, lead time, productivity), surface and solve shop-floor problems, run their daily routines and collaborate across teams in one place. The long-term ambition is to become the Operating System of every production floor.
The proof.
700+ industrial sites equipped across 43+ countries.
Reference customers such as Safran, Airbus, Renault, Scania, LVMH, Andros, Bel, Merck and Lonza.
Profitable since late 2024, then €22M raised in June 2025 with Expedition Capital to accelerate in the US, the UK and DACH.
A team of ~130 people, and an AI roadmap that is already in customers' hands rather than on a slide.
2. The role
Context : You join the AI team, a two-person unit led by Jean (Product Lead) alongside Halim, Senior Engineer who has built much of the Fabriq product. This team operates as a prototyping squad at the front edge of the company: it tests new ideas, measures market appetite and decides whether Fabriq goes there. Products are in alpha, cycles are short, the roadmap is directional. The team also works weekly with Octave, co-founder, which gives you direct exposure to the strategic decisions.
Objective : Become Halim's pair and second engineer on AI, reach full autonomy on the stack and the customer context within 6 months, and take Fabriq's AI products from alpha to something industrial teams rely on every day.
Challenges :
Taking AI prototypes to production quality. Conversational and voice-driven agents, plugged into real industrial data and used by real teams on the floor. You take them from alpha to something people rely on daily: answer quality, reliability, and the cost per interaction that decides whether a use case scales or gets dropped.
Prototyping to convince. Part of the roadmap is co-built with partner customers, which means it is sold before it is built. Specs move as customers shape them, timelines are tight, and you build fast to prove a use case is worth pursuing. Testing a lot and abandoning a lot is part of the deal.
Agentic engineering from scratch. No Mastra, no LangGraph, no off-the-shelf framework. Everything is hand-built in TypeScript and Deno on top of frontier models called through AWS Bedrock. When the team needs something like agent memory compaction, you design it yourself. This is genuinely custom, sparsely documented territory, and that is precisely the technical interest of the role.
Setting the technical direction with Halim. You are the second engineer, not an extra pair of hands: code reviews, architecture debates, and the freedom to arrive with your own proposals rather than waiting for a ticket.
Your first 3 months are dedicated to ramping up on the Fabriq stack and product, contributing to the AI features already in the hands of beta customers, and shipping your first POCs.
