Dataleap, a Y Combinator Summer 2024 graduate based in San Francisco, is expanding its operations in Germany with seven open positions across engineering, deployment, and sales. The company builds software offering an AI assistant for market research, describing its platform as an environment where enterprises can build agentic systems and run workflow automation.
Financial data provider GetLatka estimated the company's 2025 revenue at $550,000 with a five-person team. Supported by Seed funding from Y Combinator and BOOOM, Dataleap is directing its new hiring push toward Europe, centering its commercial rollouts and customer integration teams in Munich.
Internal Agent Architecture and Workflows
Dataleap builds tools designed to turn manual operational processes into agentic execution layers. In a recent video demonstration titled Agentic hiring: how we turned one person into a full hiring team, the company showed how it uses its own agent infrastructure internally to source, score, and screen candidate profiles from LinkedIn and the web. The platform ingests candidate information into structured review cards, automates messaging sequences through integrations, and connects with applicant tracking systems like Ashby and messaging tools like Slack.
A second demonstration, Hiring Agent Demo, showed the chat-first setup Dataleap uses to build task-specific sub-agents. These sub-agents run automated sourcing routines, evaluate profiles against custom criteria, and trigger follow-up tasks when prospective candidates reply. Post-interview, the system processes call transcripts from Granola to score conversations against set rubrics and draft communications. While human operators handle the interviews and final decisions, Dataleap's software handles data gathering, scoring, and workflow orchestration.
Leadership From Google, Oxford, and BCG
Dataleap was founded in 2023 by Chief Executive Officer Jan Damm and Chief Technology Officer Jan-Hendrik Ruettinger. Both founders studied at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM).
Before founding Dataleap, Damm worked as an Associate Product Manager on Google's search team and spent time as a management consultant. Ruettinger worked as an artificial intelligence researcher at Oxford University and Volkswagen, followed by a consulting role at Boston Consulting Group.
Technical and Commercial Roles Across Munich and San Francisco
The company's technical architecture relies on Golang, Postgres, and TypeScript. To support higher operational scale, Dataleap is recruiting a Founding Engineer (Platform/Backend) in San Francisco, CA, US or Munich, Bavaria, DE, offering a salary of $120,000 to $250,000. The engineer will refactor the Golang codebase, dive into the agent harness to handle heavier loads, and manage system design across the core platform. Dataleap is also hiring a remote Working Student/Intern paying $25 to $35 per hour to build and maintain integrations in Golang and Postgres that serve as the functional connections for agents.
Dataleap's commercial expansion is focused on the DACH region, requiring fluent English and native German speakers for its Munich office. The team is hiring a Founding Deployment Strategist (Munich Office), with compensation between €90,000 and €150,000, to lead European rollouts, act as an AI transformation partner for DACH enterprises, and hire the deployment group. To assist customer adoption on the ground, the company is adding a Deployment Strategist (Munich Office) paying €2,500 to €4,500 per month to build agents alongside clients and train non-technical staff.
On the commercial side, Dataleap has opened a Founding Sales (Munich Office) role with an on-target earning range of $100,000 to $300,000. Working alongside the CEO, this hire will manage the sales cycle from cold outbound prospecting to signed contracts while writing the company's enterprise sales playbook. Strategic operations will be supported by a Founders Associate, Growth (Munich Office) paying €50,000 to €80,000, and an Ex-Founder with Track Record offering €90,000 to €150,000 to work across engineering, growth, product, or enterprise deployments.
