Job Summary
In this role, you develop modular agent systems with explainable architectures, ensure reproducible results, and collaborate at the tech-customer interface while driving innovations.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We are expanding our Data & AI Chapter and are looking for someone who not only builds cognitive systems but also thinks them through thoroughly.
- As a Senior AI Engineer, you develop agent architectures that work in real corporate contexts: modular, explainable, compliance-proof, and directly aligned with business objectives.
- You do not work in an ivory tower.
- You are close to the projects, close to the clients, close to the chapter, and you know how to build AI systems in a way that they are not discarded after three months.
- You design and build modular agent systems with clear roles, memory structures, tool use, and decision logic - from architectural decisions to production deployment.
- You systematically design context windows, tool chains, and multi-stage inference pipelines for reproducible, quality-assured results — from data preparation to structured output.
- You build retrieval systems for internal knowledge bases, select the appropriate architecture (chunking, embedding, re-ranking), and make corporate knowledge accessible for agents.
- You establish quality and safety mechanisms - bias tests, accuracy evaluation, guardrails - and ensure that systems remain controlled and transparent.
- You develop reusable agent patterns (Retriever, Planner, Evaluator, Critic) and actively contribute to the Chapter Knowledge.
- You work directly on projects, assume technical responsibility, and serve as the point of contact for the technical aspects with the client.
- You contribute to collaborative projects with universities and research institutions — from technical conception to implementation — ensuring that new insights find their way into practical application.
- Those interested can also participate in funded research projects that we set up and carry out together with university and university of applied sciences partners.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You have not only prototyped agent systems but also brought them into productive operation and know exactly where the real issues are.
- You understand Context Engineering and AI Pipelines as disciplines: structured, versioned, evaluable, and you know how context quality determines system performance.
- You develop AI-enabled tools: Claude Code, Codex, and comparable tools are an integral part of your engineering workflow — not toys, but levers.
- You can make technical complexity understandable in client conversations and justify decisions.
- You are fluent in German and English.
Experience
- 5+ years of experience in software development or AI/ML, including proven, intensive engagement with LLMs, agents, or RAG architectures, preferably also from the fields of Applied Research, open-source projects, or the Databricks/Azure stack.
- Solid Python skills, experience with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI or similar), as well as vector and graph databases (e.g., Qdrant, Weaviate, Neo4j).
- Experience with deployment (FastAPI, Docker, Cloud) is a plus; hunger for evaluation & safety is not just a nice-to-have, but a fundamental attitude.

- Work with modern technologies and a stable infrastructure.
- Space for development, learning, and experimenting with new technologies - especially in the field of AI and modern software development.
- A modern workplace at the [whyit] campus and the opportunity to work partly from home.
- Competitive compensation including benefits as well as work equipment of your choice (MacOS or Linux).
