About Langfuse

Langfuse is building open-source observability and product analytics for LLM applications. We help engineers and companies understand how customers use their LLM applications and how they can improve on them. Have a look at our website and especially technical docs to learn more.

About the role

In Short: Langfuse is looking for a hands-on Customer Engineer to join the Berlin Office who will own the front line of our customer experience, keep a tight feedback loop with product engineering, and help thousands of AI‑product teams succeed with tracing & evals.

About Langfuse

  • We are building the fastest growing open-source LLM engineering platform.
  • We help engineers and enterprises build and run LLM applications at scale.
  • We've raised $4m from Y Combinator, Lightspeed and General Catalyst.
  • Thousands of teams and engineers use Langfuse daily
  • Thousands are joining every month
  • We're a small, focused team working from Berlin, Germany.

What you will be working on

At Langfuse support is not a cost‑center but a product discovery engine: engineers own their features end-to-end, fixes land fast, and users ideally see “magic” when their feedback ships the same day. You will be running that engine.

Improve Low Touch (70%)

  • Triage & solve inbound questions from Plain’s unified inbox (Slack Connect, email, GitHub, Discord)
  • Improve Docs, snippets and auto‑reply prompts so the next 1000 teams self‑serve the answer
  • Build AI powered workflows to help customers faster
  • Create helpful content i.e. helpful blog posts, sample repos and tutorials
  • Escalate bugs to product engineering and close the loop with the customer once shipped
  • Ship small improvements yourself to close the loop even faster

Engage High Touch (40%)

  • Act as named technical contact for a handful of high‑volume customers; jump on Slack huddles, unblock integrations, surface best practices
  • Track their feature requests, quantify impact, and champion them on our roadmap
  • Go through deep technical integration/implementation questions together with our customers and in their codebase

Improve the Product

  • Maintain the support → issue tracker flow: label, cluster, and prioritise insights so Product Engineering can act fast
  • Spin up proof‑of‑concepts (TypeScript/Python) to reproduce edge cases or demonstrate work‑arounds

Who we are looking for

  • Solid foundations in software engineering (CS degree or comparable projects).
  • New grads and career‑switchers encouraged!
  • Excited when to other engineers, debugging APIs, and turning chaos into crisp docs
  • Strong writing: short Slack messages and long‑form guides
  • Curiosity for LLM application development

Bonus:

  • past B2B solutions engineering, technical support, open‑source maintainer, or DevRel history

Why Langfuse?

  • You are joining really early
  • We have the greatest OSS community ❤️
  • Strong Product Market Fit & revenue growth!
  • We are building a very small but highly capable team
  • Only hiring engineering in foreseeable future
  • Building for very sophisticated technical users
  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Zero‑bureaucracy budget for learning
  • Team that pushes you
  • Everyone on the team says: "best place I've ever worked at"

How we work

  • Engineering based in Berlin Mitte ( we aim for 4-5 days in the office ) + optional SF trips
  • No more than 2 short scheduled meetings per week
  • Extreme ownership & autonomy how and what to work on
