Deine Rolle im Team

As a Senior AI Solution Architect - Enterprise AI & Agent Systems at Döhler, you drive the design, implementation, and production delivery of AI/ML-powered enterprise solutions in a regulated food & beverage environment.
You combine architectural ownership with hands-on coding, building scalable, secure, and compliant AI systems that integrate seamlessly into enterprise platforms and business processes.
Design and deliver end-to-end architectures for AI agent systems, RAG pipelines, and LLM-based enterprise applications, including MCP, vector databases, embedding pipelines, and async processing.
Define and implement integration patterns between AI services and enterprise platforms such as SAP, OTRS/Znuny, SharePoint, CRM, and Microsoft 365/Graph.
Contribute hands-on to core components, integration layers, prototypes, and reference implementations, mainly in Python and partly in TypeScript, while setting coding and architectural standards.
Build production-ready AI environments with Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Linux, and observability stacks such as Grafana, Loki, Mimir, and Prometheus.
Establish MLOps and LLMOps standards including model versioning, monitoring, A/B testing, failover strategies, logging, and traceability.
Evaluate LLMs, embedding models, vector stores, and agent frameworks through hands-on benchmarking and practical validation.
Design and optimize RAG architectures, ingestion pipelines, retrieval strategies, and data flows using technologies such as PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery.
Lead AI implementation projects end-to-end, translate business requirements into technical solutions, and work closely with stakeholders, Excellence Managers, and the AI Governance Committee.
Ensure compliance with Döhler's AI Usage Policy, GDPR, and EU AI Act by implementing required controls for security, explainability, human oversight, auditability, and risk management.
