Expert Software Developer - Agentic AI

What awaits you:

Build up a new dedicated team and drive its technical direction - bringing agentic AI systems into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) for BMW vehicles. This is not about incremental tooling improvements - it's about pioneering an AI-first approach to how automotive software is built.

Specifically, you will:

• Design, build, and operate multi-agent systems and agentic workflows (LLM orchestration, tool-use agents, autonomous coding pipelines)
• Build the scaffolding that makes agents productive - test infrastructure, CI/CD feedback loops, machine-readable codebases, and architectural guardrails
• Deploy and run these systems in cloud-native environments at scale
• Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity across the SDLC
• Ensure AI system quality - evaluation frameworks, guardrails, output validation, and responsible AI practices
• Pioneer the transformation toward an AI-first SDLC
• Collaborate closely with teams in Munich to align on strategy and architecture

What you bring:

• 8+ years of experience in Hands-on Software Development
• 5+ years of experience in AI/ML research and development
• Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (e.g., Lang Graph, CrewAI, Auto Gen), coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex), tool-use protocols (e.g., MCP), and AI system design at production scale
• Strong software engineering background - you drive systems from concept to production Familiarity with cloud-native toolchains (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC)

  Experience leading technical teams (5+ years in senior/lead roles)

• Experience with MLOps and AI security in enterprise environments is a strong plus
• Automotive and large-scale enterprise experience is a plus
• You believe AI will fundamentally change how we build software - and you have the pioneer mindset to make it happen

Why this role:

• Greenfield team build - you shape the technical foundations from day one
• Drive the future of how BMW develops software
• Work at the frontier of agentic AI in an enterprise-scale engineering organization
• International engineering culture - close collaboration with BMW Group engineering hubs and the leverage for impact across large engineering organizations
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to lead and mentor junior team members
• Business fluent knowledge of English (written and spoken)
