• Develop AI-powered delivery pipelines that translate development processes, engineering standards, and architectural guidelines into machine-executable workflows
• Establish trusted AI engineering environments by designing governance mechanisms with multi-layered validation, clear identity boundaries, and end-to-end traceability
• Implement evaluation and security mechanisms such as automated testing and evaluation pipelines, architecture compliance checks, and red-teaming approaches for AI-generated systems
• Translate enterprise knowledge into machine-readable structures—such as architecture decisions, domain models, APIs, and business rules—to enable autonomous development
• Turn business intent into scalable architectures, embed AI sustainably into existing system landscapes and operating models, and translate vision into measurable business impact

• AI systems experience: Hands-on experience with AI systems, such as LLM-based applications, AI agents, or machine learning platforms
• Software delivery knowledge: Familiar with modern software delivery approaches, including DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and platform engineering
• Enterprise AI patterns: Concepts like agent assembly lines, execution harnesses, or context engineering are familiar to you—you know how to embed them into secure and scalable enterprise architectures
• Communication: Translate complex business requirements into technical architectures and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Teamwork and flexibility: Thrive in interdisciplinary teams and global environments, flexible and willing to travel as needed
• Languages: Fluent in both German and English and can confidently understand and communicate complex topics in both languages
