Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- As a Senior AI Engineer (m/f/x) in the Professional Services organization, you take ownership of production-grade AI features and services from design through operation, and you're the engineer other team members turn to when a delivery gets technically hard.
- You work at the intersection of software engineering rigor and applied AI, translating client requirements into scalable, maintainable systems while raising the bar for how the team builds.
- Beyond your own delivery scope, you help shape how junior and mid-level engineers on your engagements approach quality, testing, and production readiness.
- Owning the end-to-end design, build, and operation of production AI features and services across one or more client engagements.
- Making architecture and implementation decisions for ML/LLM-integrated systems - APIs, microservices, event-driven pipelines - with a clear eye on maintainability and cost.
- Driving evaluation, safety, and observability practices into every service you ship, and holding others on the engagement to the same bar.
- Guiding partner teams through the transition from PoC to scalable, production-deployed solutions, acting as the primary technical point of contact.
- Mentoring AI Engineers on your engagements through code review, pairing, and technical guidance.
- Contributing technical scoping, effort estimates, and solution options during pre-sales, in close collaboration with AI strategists and program managers.
- Identifying and building reusable patterns or components that other engagements can adopt.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- Strong command of Python and professional engineering practices - testing, CI/CD, code review, Git workflows - applied consistently under client delivery pressure.
- Solid grounding in cloud-native development (Docker, Kubernetes), APIs/microservices, and data stores, with working knowledge of the modern AI stack (LangChain/LangGraph, vector stores, evaluation frameworks).
- Excellent communication skills - able to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and client stakeholders.
- Fluent English; working proficiency in German is a strong plus.
Erfahrung
- Several years of software engineering experience, including meaningful hands-on experience building and operating ML/LLM-based systems in production.
- Demonstrated experience leading a feature or service through production hardening in a client-facing or cross-functional setting.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity and taking ownership without close supervision, while remaining approachable to less experienced colleagues you're guiding.
Unser Angebot
- A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people is on a journey to change the rapidly evolving European AI Landscape.
- Experience the best of both worlds with our hybrid work model: You can choose to work from our vibrant offices - either at the IPAI in Heilbronn or the House of Communication in Munich - while also enjoying the flexibility to work remotely a few days each week.
- Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses.
- An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes.
- A highly visible initiative that helps you build a large and high-level network of start-ups, partners, and tech companies.
- A flexible development budget that's yours to shape - invest it in training, certifications, conferences, or new challenges, however you want to grow.
- Sports membership with Wellpass to access thousands of sports facilities all over Germany (and beyond), as well as online courses.
- JobRad: Lease a bike for a cheaper rate via JobRad and we cover the bike insurance on top.
- Sabbatical option: You can take a sabbatical of up to 3 months after min. 3 years of employment - because sometimes 30 vacation days are not enough to explore the beauty of this world.
- PME Familienservice: A 24/7 support for a successful work & life in any life situation. Benefit from free support in areas like life coaching, child care and many other options.
- Mobility budget: Every month we contribute to your individual mobility usage with public transport or shared mobility offers within the app Moovster.
- Workation: Work from anywhere in the EU/EWR area for up to 3 months per year - combining working at a nice place and spending your leisure time in the evening like vacation.
