Your role in the team

  • As an AI Engineer, you will assume technical responsibility for customer-facing AI solutions - from early design decisions to production deployment and operation.
  • You will design, build, and operate AI applications ranging from LLM-powered workflows (e.g., intelligent document processing, RAG systems) to agentic AI systems that are actively used in customer environments.
  • You will work closely with customers and internal engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into reliable, scalable systems and guide AI-driven product development within customer projects.
  • This role is hybrid, with predominantly remote work and occasional on-site presence at customer locations across Germany and our office in Würzburg, Bavaria.
  • Design and ship end-to-end AI systems, from prototype to production.
  • Build LLM-powered applications (incl. RAG, tool usage, validations) with a focus on reliability and cost-efficiency.
  • Develop and operate agentic AI systems (e.g., planning, tool orchestration, multi-step workflows) with clearly defined safety and integrations into customers' systems.
  • Define evaluation strategies (offline + online), including metrics, benchmarks, and monitoring.
  • Optimize system performance across latency, cost, and quality.
  • Übernehmen Sie die technische Leitung innerhalb der Kundenteams, koordinieren Sie Architektur, Implementierung und Iterationszyklen.
  • Act as a technical point of contact for customers, explaining trade-offs and guiding solution decisions.
  • Work directly with customers and internal teams to turn ambiguous, real-world problems into concrete AI solutions.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and support less-experienced engineers through technical guidance (no people management).
