Our companies deliver the digital solutions that keep the public sector and core industries running. What they do matters in daily life. \n\nAI has rapidly disrupted the software industry, and we aim to lead that transformation across our portfolio. Central to this is the AI Core team: we build and operate a shared enterprise AI Hub used by companies across the group, and drive adoption through a network of AI Champions. Each portfolio company has one designated power user who leads AI enablement locally, runs training, and scales usage within their organisation.\n\nTasks\n\nThe Role \n\nYou are a core member of the AI Core team, owning the infrastructure that powers AI adoption across 55+ portfolio companies. Your focus is the AI Hub platform (Open WebUI): you keep it running, deploy new instances, build and validate integrations at HQ level, and make sure every company in the group gets a stable, well-configured environment. \n\nWe build the AI Hub as a product and support to ship it in every company. Each company owns their HUB and administers it (L1 Support). You are part of the central team that drives features and changes that are of high value for all hubs in the portfolio. \n\nIn addition, you are part of the team that serves as the center of expertise (L2 Support) and give guidance and hands-on support when the first level teams need you. \n\nWhat You Will Work On \n\nPlatform engineering: new integrations, container images, infrastructure-as-code, deployment tooling and security patches. This is the product that every company runs \n\nRelease qualification: when the upstream project ships a new version, you assess it (one-way database migrations, breaking changes, patch compatibility), validate it on a canary, and publish a qualified release with notes that an L1 can act on \n\nShared infrastructure: Application Gateway, WAF policies, TLS certificates, Redis, DNS and network peering. This layer is shared across every company and cannot be devolved. A mistake here affects all of them \n\nEnable the L1 network and be their technical point of contact: write the developer guides, run onboarding and office hours, and build preflight checks and guardrails that make it safe for a platform admin to deploy and operate their own Hub. \n\nIntegrations Catalog stewardship: versioned artefacts (tools, skills, agents, integrations) each shipped with a user guide for AI Champions and a developer guide for platform admins \n\nFleet observability: reporting and alerting version parity, uptime, cloud spend and deployment status across all companies. \n\nOwn the eval service: the service itself, the quality of judges and generators, and the methodology platforms use to measure whether their agents do the work \n\nClose the loop. Shipping is the beginning. Your designs gather operational signals from the fleet and feed a continuous improvement cycle\n\nRequirements\n\nWhat We Are Looking For\n\nRequired\n\nAt least 2 years of professional experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud operations, including ownership of production systems that others depend on \n\nProduction cloud experience on Azure or AWS \n\nInfrastructure as Code in production: Bicep, Terraform, CDK or CloudFormation. We care that you think in IaC. \n\nStrong Python skills beyond scripting: you have built and maintained small production services, worked with APIs, and found your way around unfamiliar codebases \n\nComfortable with Linux, Docker, Git and CI/CD as everyday working tools \n\nWorking knowledge of databases and identity: PostgreSQL in production, and OAuth / SSO / Entra ID concepts \n\nAI-native: you use LLMs as tools, understand their operational properties, and have shipped something with them \n\nEnglish (fluent): primary working language across the team; German conversational is a plus\n\nBonus \n\nClear technical writing: Enabling others is a real part of this role and good documentation is part of the work rather than an afterthought \n\nExperience building internal platforms or tooling used by other engineering teams \n\nWorking in multi-tenant or multi-customer cloud environments \n\nContributions to open-source projects, or maintaining a modified version of one in production \n\nPractical experience with LLM frameworks, agents, MCP or RAG systems in production \n\nFrench language skills: a share of our portfolio is in France and growing\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat You'll Get\n\nA role that shapes the AI backbone for more than 50 software companies across Europe. \n\nBecome part of CHAPTERS Group, a German serial acquirer with 10x growth in the past five years and high ambitions for what comes next \n\nA small, high-ownership team: decisions get made fast, your work ships to production. You are part of the CTO office with a direct line to the leadership team \n\nDaily work with cutting-edge AI technologies. \n\nSpace to define how AI gets integrated into operational business systems at group scale: early-stage work with lasting impact across 55+ companies \n\nPermanent full-time position, remote-first with the option to join the team in the Cologne office \n\nA clear path to grow with us: we look for ambitious people who want to build a career, not just take a role. We actively invest in your development: talent reviews, events, conferences, etc.\n\nHow to Apply \n\nSend your CV and answer the following questions, no formal cover letter needed: \n\nWhy do you find it exciting to work with vertical market software companies? \n\nWhy are you the right person to drive AI in the CHAPTERS Group? What is your “unfair advantage”?\n\nWe are looking forward to your application!\nFind Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow","description_format":"text","description_chars":5782,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-10T13:33:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-11T03:22:19Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/chapters-group-ai-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/chapters-group-ai-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T03:22:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":991,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4009,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2401198},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2401198"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fchapters-group-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fchapters-group-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fchapters-group-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/chapters-group-ai-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fchapters-group-ai-platform-engineer"}]}
