We are looking for you in Freising (bei München) as (Senior) AI Engineer (m/f/d).

Your role

Think big, start small, scale fast. If that's you, then we want to hear from you.

• As a founding member of our newly created Group AI Solutions team, you build our AI engineering capability from the ground up: tech stack, pipelines, platform and engineering standards, the foundation on which all future AI value across the group is built.
• You design and ship production-grade AI solutions end-to-end: classical machine learning, statistics and optimization as well as LLM-based systems with RAG, agentic workflows and solid prompting. You know when simulation, ML or agentic orchestration is the right approach.
• Close collaboration with the business, a strong focus on solving real business problems, and the delivery of systems that accelerate decision-making and automation define the way you work. Your measure of success is AI that runs in production and creates value.
• You set the engineering and AI standards the whole organisation adopts (CI/CD, version control, testing, code reviews) and steer external partners and consultancies as the final technical authority in the room.
• Your work and your ideas land directly in front of senior leadership.

Your qualifications

• You hold at least a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or a related field and have at least five years of relevant professional experience.
• Backed by strong AI expertise, you are confident in the maths and statistics behind machine learning and hands-on with modern LLM tooling such as RAG, agents and prompting. You know the difference between a Random Forest and a RAG, and you put both into production.
• Databricks feels like home to you, or you bring deep experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP or others). AI-native development with coding agents is how you set a new standard for delivery speed.
• You think like an entrepreneur with a business mindset: you understand the business behind the use case, work closely with stakeholders and ship end-to-end applications with measurable outcomes.
• You are fluent in working English, German is a big plus.

What you can look forward to

• Shape it from day one: You'll join a newly created team with high attention from senior leadership, high velocity and real room to shape and change things. You build from scratch, challenge what exists and define with an entrepreneurial mindset how our group works with AI going forward. Bring your own ideas and learnings in: we will listen.
• Compensation: You can expect an attractive compensation package with comprehensive benefits that recognise and value your contribution.
• Work-life balance: Enjoy 30 days of annual leave, flexible working hours, and a hybrid working model that combines on-site and remote work, giving you the flexibility to tailor your work routine to your individual needs.
• Occupational Health Management: We provide a wide range of health and wellbeing initiatives, including company sports activities, bicycle leasing, corporate fitness programmes and height‑adjustable desks.
• A workplace to feel good: Our company restaurants offer discounted meals, and beverages such as coffee and water as well as product fridges are available free of charge. Additional benefits complete the package.

We look forward to getting to know you. Simply send us your application via our internal job portal.
