Scope

• Design, build, and evolve backend services, APIs, and architecture for our logistics platform
• Own infrastructure topics such as databases, cloud deployments, monitoring, and CI/CD

• Full-stack mindset across backend, frontend, and data workflows
• Comfort with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor
• High ownership, strong initiative, and the ability to operate well in ambiguity

What you get

• A defining role with leadership growth as the company scales
• Compensation plus equity participation through the EXIST setup
• High autonomy, low bureaucracy, and fast decisions
• A central office in Cologne at Innodom
• The chance to build a company from day one and work on real 0-to-1 problems

At Maxmove, we rethink logistics. With AI-supported workflows, we connect customers, companies, and drivers in real time for smarter, faster, and more sustainable deliveries.

Scope

• Build and grow our social media channels across Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok
• Plan, create, and publish content such as posts, stories, reels, and short videos
• Shoot and edit videos, including being comfortable appearing on camera
• Create and maintain an editorial calendar with topic research and content organization
• Use AI tools to produce content and videos more efficiently
• Support community management by handling and forwarding comments and messages
• Create, revise, and maintain website content

Profile

• Creativity and a good feel for design, language, and trends

• Basic experience in photo and video editing
• Early hands-on exposure to social media, privately or professionally
• Interest in marketing, communication, and brand building
• Strong written communication in German and English
• A self-directed, structured, and reliable way of working

What you get

• Immediate impact on the core product and brand
• Flexible ways of working that fit your rhythm

• Short decision paths and startup speed
• Real decision-making room from concept to execution
• A start date as soon as possible

Maxmove is the next-generation logistics platform. Like Uber for transport, we connect private customers, business customers, independent drivers, and transport companies. At the same time, Maxmove is the AI operating system for the daily operations of logistics providers and transport companies. We bring together and automate core workflows – from order intake and dispatch to execution and billing – and digitize the entire transport process. We are turning the logistics industry upside down and making every delivery simpler, more affordable, and faster.

Scope

• Win new customers through cold calls, email outreach, and door-to-door sales in the Cologne area
• Identify and approach potential customers
• Schedule product presentations and demos
• Contribute to the sales pipeline in our CRM
• Follow up with leads consistently through to a successful close

Profile

• A hunter mentality and real motivation for revenue, cold calls, and door-to-door sales
• Strong communication skills
• A confident and persuasive presence
• Interest in sales, negotiation, and customer acquisition
• Strong written and spoken German and English
• A self-directed, structured, and reliable way of working
• High initiative and a hands-on mentality
• Ideally, you already have sales experience, are studying or have completed a business degree, and have some experience with HubSpot — but apply even if not everything fits
• Perfect grades and a flawless CV matter less to us than your motivation, ambition, and willingness to learn, grow, and build something meaningful with us

What you get

• Impact from day one: win real customers and contribute directly to Maxmove’s growth
• Startup speed with short paths and fast decisions
• Attractive success-based participation in completed deals
• Direct collaboration with the founders and founding team
• A steep learning curve in cold calling, door-to-door sales, and negotiation
• Real ownership of your own customers and deals
• The opportunity to join us permanently after the internship
• A modern workplace at Innodom in Cologne
• A start date as soon as possible

We are not looking for traditional “order takers,” but for people with a genuine hunter mentality. If you enjoy approaching people and winning new customers, you will fit right in.
