Translate business needs into concrete technical solutions and align on priorities with your team and stakeholders;

Make AI output measurable: build test sets and evaluate for accuracy, hallucinations, cost and latency;
Bring solutions to production and keep them reliable, secure and maintainable;
Track adoption, gather feedback and iterate based on real results;
Stay sharp on new developments in AI and bring relevant ideas back to the team.
Your profile
A completed Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Econometrics or a comparable field. Preferably recently graduated or with your first work experience;
Strong Python skills: you understand your code and debug it when things break;
Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering and connecting AI to internal data. Either via RAG, tool use or MCP;
Familiar with AI-coding agents and able to assess generated code critically;
Basic Git knowledge; experience with CI/CD, API integrations or Azure (Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry) is a plus;
Analytically strong and able to explain technical choices clearly to both engineers and non-technical colleagues;
Curious, proactive and pragmatic, you feel at home in an environment where the landscape shifts fast.
