Careers at Nova Intelligence
Join us if you are eager to solve the most urgent, complex problems for many of the largest companies in the world and disrupt a $100B+/year industry.

Why Nova?
Build the AI company modernizing the systems behind the physical economy.
High slope in the most profitable industry in the world

90% of global transactions touch SAP. Every Fortune 500 supply chain, pharmacy refill, Airbus plane built, and paycheck issued at a Global 2000 company flows through SAP software. It is the operating system of the physical economy, and it runs a $100B+/year industry that most of Silicon Valley has never heard of. We are backed by Accel, Chemistry, and SAPio.
Build alongside experts, researchers, and top talent

Our founding team spans Silicon Valley and SAP's heartland in Germany. From the co-inventor of SAP HANA, Google DeepMind researchers, and ex-founders who scaled to millions before turning 22, you will work with the people who built the category you are disrupting.
Competitive comp, designed for growth

We pay competitively across cash, equity, and quarterly performance bonuses. Compensation is structured so outsized contributions lead to outsized rewards. Early employees get meaningful equity in a category-defining company, and comp scales aggressively as you grow with us.
Principles
The people who thrive here share three traits.
01
We move fast
Sales tasks turn around same-day. Engineering uses Claude Code as leverage. We do not batch, and we do not wait.
02
We make our own leverage
We focus on 3x bets and time-box marginal work. We would rather take a big swing and miss than ship a safe incremental win.
03
We find, pitch, and solve problems
If you see something broken, you own it. Do not ask for permission; just keep everyone in the loop.
Teams
Transformation wave
01
Engineering
Flat, fast, and direct to product. Every line of code you ship powers systems that move billions of dollars in transactions. You will need craft excellence and creativity to meet that bar while collaborating across our Europe, San Francisco, and New York teams.
02
Customer Engineers
You are a nerd about SAP and energized by customers. You will own demos, partner closely with sales, and build features directly when a customer asks. The loop between conversation and shipped code is hours, not quarters.
03
Sales
Work with the largest global enterprises to determine fit, find the best deal, and deliver exceptional customer trust. You will navigate deep SAP terminology and multi-stakeholder deployment processes from day one.
Culture
Extremely kind, extremely ambitious.
Most of our team are nerds about a subject that quietly powers the world, and it shows. What they share is a love of untangling hard systems and the willingness to work late into the night on problems they actually care about.
Half of our team is remote by design, so hours can be unusual, but they come with the upside of working shoulder-to-shoulder with customers wherever they are: Zurich, Munich, Madrid, Mexico City, San Francisco, and New York. The rest works in person in New York. More than half the team speaks two or more languages, which turns out to be exactly what it takes to serve the global enterprises we work with.

Benefits
Designed for high-agency builders.
Competitive equity + cash
Top-of-market cash, meaningful early-stage equity, and quarterly performance bonuses. We are always looking for reasons to pay our best people more.
Unlimited Codex/Claude Code
Every engineer gets unlimited access to the best AI coding tools on the market. We believe in giving you maximum leverage from day one.
Medical, dental, vision, and commuter
Top-tier health coverage for you and your dependents, plus commuter benefits for team members coming into our SF and NY offices.
Global travel on us
Fly to meet customers and teammates wherever they are: Zurich, Munich, Madrid, Mexico City, San Francisco, and New York. Annual company offsites included.

Meet the team
