What you`ll do

Summary:
We are looking for a top-notch experienced (Senior) AI Developer to support our agile AI development team in designing, building and deploying enterprise-grade Agentic AI and ML solutions for SAP’s internal business organizations.

The Role:

• Work with a global, agile team of data scientists, AI/ML engineers and software engineers on Agentic AI and ML solutions as well as on the E2E lifecycle
• Drive the development process of cutting edge data science and AI solutions and lead the development, maintenance and optimization of Agentic AI architectures and solutions across business domains

What you bring

We are looking for a driven and motivated team player with at least a Master's Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related fields. You should have multiple years of experience in Python programming and in distributed computing frameworks. Additionally, solid experience with data modeling, ETL processes, and cloud infrastructure is required. An enterprise-grade background with a wide range of ML/AI algorithms, statistical models and ML/AI architectures rounds off the profile. In more detail, candidates should have exceptional skills in:

• Advanced coding skills in Python (preferred) or Java, with solid understanding of software engineering principles
• Experience with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and microservice architectures
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, MLFlow)
• Experience implementing CI/CD and MLOps pipelines in cloud environments (Azure ML, Databricks, AWS)

• Understanding of Agile, SAFe methodologies and collaborative engineering practices
• Fluent English and a proactive, problem solving mindset; good German language skills desirable

Nice to have but not a must:

• Experience with multi-agent or generative AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI)
• Familiarity with SAP AI Core, SAP BTP
• Experience with agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, SAFe) and project management tools (e.g., Jira)

These skills are a plus. If you don’t have experience in all these areas, we’ll provide the resources and training you need to become a leader in cutting-edge AI technologies.
As we are a diverse multi-cultural team, strong oral and written communication skills in English are a must.
Since we provide cutting-edge, innovative AI/ML solutions to complex business problems, we value an open, out-of-the-box-thinking, creative, and solution-oriented mindset, supported by in-depth AI and data engineering experience.
