Your role in the team
- We are looking for a highly autonomous Lead AI-Driven Developer (f/m/d) with a strong backend focus to become the go-to technical expert in our Digital Unit.
- You own problems end-to-end, from understanding requirements to delivering production-ready, tested, and well-documented solutions, without the need for constant guidance or multiple revision cycles.
- You are someone who thrives in complexity: you navigate microservice architectures and cloud-native systems with ease, debug critical production issues calmly and methodically, and consistently leave things better than you found them.
- And crucially - you are a true AI enthusiast.
- Not just curious about AI, but actively using it in your daily workflow for over a year, with at least six months of hands-on experience working with Agentic AI frameworks.
- You don't just use AI to write code, you use it to amplify your impact, accelerate delivery, and enhance engineering excellence.
- You will work closely alongside our Senior Architect, DevOps, DevSecOps, and UX Designer as the technical development expert within our team, and you will:
- Übernehmen Sie die vollständige Verantwortung für unsere Lösungen, von Architektur und Entwicklung bis hin zu Tests, Dokumentation und Deployment.
- Shape and maintain our development practices and standards, ensuring high quality and consistency across the codebase.
- Empower and upskill fellow developers in effective AI-assisted development workflows.
- Design and evolve our development processes to keep pace with the rapidly changing AI landscape.
- Ensure our systems run smoothly and as autonomously as possible, proactively identifying and eliminating friction points.
- Provide expert technical guidance and actively contribute to solution design, because your voice matters here.
