This is the job - Your main tasks

You shape solutions from the very beginning. Together with specialists, Architects and Delivery Leads, you specify requirements, develop technical solution approaches and make their feasibility tangible through demos, PoCs and MVPs.
You develop Data & AI applications to production maturity. You implement services, agents and agent teams and integrate AI components into APIs, databases, specialist systems and user interfaces.
You have direct customer contact, clarify requirements, reflect solution ideas and advise the business.
You reliably bring solutions into the customer environment. You automate builds and deployments, integrate logging and monitoring and support error analysis, operation and further development in cloud and on-premises environments.
You use AI throughout the entire development process. You utilise coding assistants, agents and specification-driven development from requirement clarification to automated testing. You understand, review and take responsibility for the generated code.
You take responsibility within the project team. You structure and estimate work packages, participate in workshops and develop reusable components.

This job is for you if...

Practical experience along the software development lifecycle. You have developed, deployed and supported solutions with AI components in productive use. You know the challenges in transitioning from prototype to productive application.
Solid software engineering know-how. You master Python at production-ready level and bring project experience in another enterprise stack such as C#/.NET or Java/Spring Boot. Modular code, API development, SQL and Git are part of your craft.
Practical experience with agentic AI. You know agents, agent teams and agentic frameworks as well as tool-calling, structured outputs and multimodal processing with voice and vision. You implement permissions, error handling and human-in-the-loop deliberately.
Experience with data processing and system integration and security in quality assurance and DevOps.
Consulting competence and enjoyment in working with people, as well as very good German skills at least at C1 level

As the icing on the cake you bring

Deep expertise in an engineering focus: for example complex agent orchestration, backend development, frontend/full stack or AI infrastructure.
Experience with demanding user interfaces: You have implemented intuitive interactions for AI applications, such as for voice assistants, document verification or human approvals in automated processes.
Experience with local AI infrastructure: You have deployed models yourself and optimised inference, resource consumption or performance in on-premises environments.
Experience in building shared development components, project templates or automated development and deployment processes

Even if not all requirements are fully met, we look forward to receiving your application.
