About Cirql One

We believe the real value of modern enterprises lies in their data.

Most large organizations already have the data they need. What they lack is a way to work with it at scale. Over time meaning gets buried in legacy systems configurations customization and undocumented logic. The data still runs the business but it cant easily be trusted reused or reasoned over consistently by modern software and AI.

SAP sits at the center of this problem. It runs the core business process of more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies. SAP has spent decades perfecting systems of record while AI is building systems of reasoning and the real opportunity lies in connecting the two. SAP systems are deeply embedded businesscritical and designed to change slowly. They are complex systems refined over decades to ensure precision and control. Yet while the data is reliable by design its business meaning is often implicit and difficult for AI systems to interpret which prevents AI from reasoning over it reliably safely and at scale.

At Cirql One weve spent more than 30 years working inside these environments. We know why AI systems struggle to interpret enterprise data correctly that many existing semantic layers stop at technical abstraction and why business meaning must be made explicit to scale trust reuse and automation.

What We Do

Cirql One is a startup focused on building the missing link between ERP systems and AI : an SAP-native semantic intelligence layer that gives AI models and agents a shared business-accurate understanding of enterprise data. Our vision is to be the new system-of-reason sitting above SAP - where intelligence metrics and AI automation are defined governed and executed.

The result is a stable foundation for AI automation and analytics that can evolve independently of the underlying systems.

Tasks

This is a fundamentally unsolved problem at enterprise scale. There is no other established reusable semantic foundation that enables AI systems to reason correctly and reliably over legacy ERP environments whilst preserving key business meaning as the systems and the business evolve.

We are not building a better way to query data. We are building the foundation that allows AI to reason reliably over the business itself. This foundation allows enterprises to scale disruptive AI-driven innovation beyond isolated pilots without sacrificing trust governance or consistency of business meaning.

Building this platform means venturing into uncharted territory. This requires pragmatic architectural choices avoiding unnecessary complexity and making smart decisions despite incomplete information.

We are therefore looking for a Platform Architect to take endtoend ownership of Cirql Ones technical backbone. You will own the architectural integrity of the Cirql One platform. That includes :

• Owning the core platform architecture that balances scalability security speed of execution and performance
• Making and defending key technology decisions with a longterm view while staying pragmatic about what matters now.
• Contributing directly to implementation by writing code reviewing pull requests and solving hard technical problems alongside the team.
• Establishing architectural patterns that allow semantic assets data pipelines and AIfacing interfaces to evolve without fragmentation.

This is a technical leadership role first and foremost. While the role may grow into building or leading a team over time the initial focus is ownership and execution not people management.

We are a startup - that means contextswitching wearing multiple hats and being comfortable with ambiguity. It also means we value people who challenge assumptions point out flaws and help us avoid building the wrong thing not just those who execute instructions.

You will work at the intersection of engineering product semantics and AI.

This involves defining and owning the fundamental platform elements including how business meaning is represented versioned governed and exposed ensuring that enterprise data and business logic can be reliably utilized by software and AI.

You will work closely with product and engineering to turn complex often ambiguous requirements into robust scalable systems.

You will regularly explain and defend architectural decisions across technical and nontechnical contexts. Clear thinking and clear communication matter as much as code.

@Mattia Molteni correct - Fred recommended to take it out so we leave it for now and see what comes.

Benefits

If you like getting in early making the hard calls and building the foundation others will later build on this is the role for you.

The process is simple : a first conversation followed by a few focused discussions around architecture and how you think. No tests no theatrics.

Apply directly or reach out for an informal conversation.
