Job Description

Company Description Limineer builds new businesses with and inside large organisations. Today, we have 12 ventures in active build across energy, industrials and the public sector, working with corporate innovation, strategy and R&D teams across Europe. Our proprietary Liminal Process Model combines software, rapid market experimentation and embedded operators to find overlooked opportunities, pressure-test them, and turn the strongest into investable ventures. We don’t stop at the recommendation. We stay to build. Role Description We're hiring a Venture Engineer who can sit in the room while a client's belief is still half-formed and ship the system that tests it before the meeting is cold. You'll move between two or more of Limineer's ventures at a time, building the architecture, data model, and infrastructure that let each one earn its place - or die honestly - faster than any single engineer working alone could manage. Qualifications Product and venture building skills, including experience taking ideas from discovery through prototyping, validation, and early-stage launch. Technical engineering skills, such as software development, rapid prototyping, and working with modern tools and frameworks suitable for early-stage products. Structured experimentation and research skills, including hypothesis design, market testing, data analysis, and evidence-based decision-making. Stakeholder and collaboration skills, including clear communication, the ability to work with non-technical partners, and comfort operating inside large organizations. Strong problem-solving abilities, with an aptitude for working in ambiguous environments and breaking complex challenges into testable components. Prior experience in startups, venture building, product engineering, or innovation teams is highly beneficial. Comfort with working remotely and willingness to engage directly with clients and end users. Relevant degree or equivalent practical experience in engineering, computer science, product management, or a related discipline. Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus Must be based in or in the area of our team hubs: 🇮🇹 Milan, 🇳🇱 Amsterdam, 🇫🇷 Paris What You Get Genuine range - multiple ventures, multiple domains, real commercial stakes. You build cross-venture capacity instead of disappearing into a single client. A team with low tolerance for work done for the sake of doing work and a fun, supportive work environment. High level of autonomy and flexibility in where and how you get work done. Access to leading corporations determined to make a positive impact in their industries Competitive base package (€70,000-€90,000 based on experience), with a variable bonus and the range and exposure of a much larger platform.

Core Responsibilities

You will build the architecture, data models, and infrastructure for multiple ventures simultaneously to test market hypotheses rapidly. You will work directly with clients to transform half-formed ideas into investable ventures through evidence-based experimentation.

Requirements

Candidates should have experience in product and venture building, including software development and rapid prototyping. Strong communication skills and the ability to operate effectively within ambiguous, large-scale organizational environments are essential.

Benefits

  • Variable bonus
  • Autonomy
  • Flexibility

About Limineer

Industry: Strategic Management Services

Company size: 11-50 employees

Most corporate innovation teams produce recommendations. We produce businesses. Too much innovation budget funds activity rather than answers: pilots with no kill date, partnerships without conviction, roadmaps built on untested assumptions. Limineer exists to change that. Since 2024, we’ve run the Liminal Process Model - our own method for finding and building New Business Opportunities inside large organisations. We uncover contrarian beliefs, test them quickly against market reality, and only build what survives. Then we stay to operate it. Today: 12 ventures in active build across energy, industrials and the public sector. Our approach combines proprietary software, a scientific method informed by in-house PhD research, and a collective of builders, operators and ex-founders. We embed operators, not advisors. We build our own ventures too, and manage a growing portfolio of the ones we create. Europe-based. Builders first. [email protected] | limineer.com
