About Manex AI

Manufacturing runs on fragmented data: machines, sensors and decade-old systems that don’t speak to each other. Data sits in departmental silos, knowledge lives in people’s heads, and AI cannot fulfil its potential through disconnected point solutions that don’t deliver.

At Manex AI, we build that missing layer with our platform. It handles manufacturing data at scale, models the factory ontology and builds agentic applications that can reason and act across it.

We’re a small team based in Munich, backed by Lightspeed and BlueYard, with engineers from leading technology companies. We ship fast, work closely with the shop floor and never release things we’re not proud of.

The Role

You’ll build the core of our platform, from data ingestion and our ontology layer to the applications manufacturers use on the shop floor every day.

The work spans backend, frontend, performance and tooling. You’ll work wherever your skills can make the greatest impact, own features end-to-end and collaborate directly with our founders and customers.
