In this role, you will work closely with engineers, product owners, architects, and other stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into reliable, scalable, and maintainable software solutions. \nYou should bring strong backend engineering experience, a pragmatic mindset, and the ability to communicate technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Beyond technical implementation, we are looking for someone who thinks like an IT consultant: someone who understands stakeholder needs, asks the right questions, challenges assumptions constructively, and helps identify the best possible solution for the given business and technical context. \nYou enjoy collaborating with colleagues, discussing solution options, explaining trade-offs, and creating alignment across different perspectives. You are comfortable taking ownership from concept to production and care about delivering solutions that are not only technically sound, but also practical, sustainable, and valuable for the people who use them. \n\nYour main accountabilities:\n\nIn this role, you will take technical responsibility for AI application projects within Deutsche Telekom. Working in small, cross-functional teams, you will turn business needs and early concepts into reliable software solutions, covering the full engineering lifecycle from proof of concept and technical validation through production readiness, go-live, and structured handover to MLOps or operations teams. \n\nYour responsibilities will include:\n\nDesigning and implementing production-grade backend services, APIs, and integration components for data- and AI-enabled applications \n\nTranslating business requirements into technical concepts and scalable, secure, maintainable software architectures while driving their implementation within small, cross-functional teams \n\nBuilding production-grade agentic workflows on an existing agentic workflow platform and integrating them with enterprise systems, APIs, data sources, knowledge bases, and business processes \n\nEnsuring the reliable and controlled operation of AI applications through automated testing, error handling, fallbacks, guardrails, human-in-the-loop mechanisms, security, observability, traceability, and auditability \n\nDeveloping solutions iteratively from PoC and prototype stages to production, including deployment, go-live support, troubleshooting, and technical stabilization \n\nEstablishing engineering practices such as code reviews, CI/CD, GitOps, automated integration and end-to-end testing, and technical documentation \n\nEnsuring a structured handover to MLOps or operations teams, including deployment procedures, monitoring, runbooks, operational documentation, and knowledge transfer \n\nCollaborating with product owners, architects, data scientists, MLOps engineers, security specialists, platform teams, and business stakeholders to evaluate solution options, explain trade-offs, and identify technical risks and dependencies \n\nContributing reusable components, integration patterns, and engineering standards while supporting other engineers through technical guidance, mentoring, and code reviews \n\nThe role focuses primarily on software engineering for AI-enabled applications rather than pure data science or model research. You will typically use existing models, AI services, and agentic workflow platforms and turn them into reliable, secure, integrated, and operable business applications. \n\nTo be successful in this role, you should have:\n\nMUST HAVE\n\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend development and Python for production grade systems \n\nSolid experience building backend services, APIs, and distributed systems \n\nExperience with containers and deployment technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, or serverless platforms \n\nGood understanding of software architecture, clean code principles, and engineering best practices \n\nExperience working with Git, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative development workflows \n\nPractical experience with CI/CD and GitOps concepts and tools \n\nAbility to work independently, take ownership, and drive topics forward \n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts in clear, simple, and stakeholder-appropriate language \n\nAn outgoing, collaborative personality and a genuine interest in working with colleagues to find good solutions \n\nNICE TO HAVE\n\nKnowledge of data engineering concepts, such as ETL/ELT pipelines, data transformation, batch processing, data quality, or orchestration tools \n\nExperience with deployments on hyperscaler platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform \n\nExperience with AI-enabled backend applications, especially RAG-based systems, semantic search, document Q&A, internal knowledge assistants, or agentic workflows using tools such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar technologies \n\nFamiliarity with typical RAG stack components, such as embeddings, chunking, vector databases/search engines like pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, or Azure AI Search, as well as observability/evaluation tools such as LangSmith, Langfuse, OpenTelemetry, or Arize Phoenix \n\nExperience with monitoring, logging, tracing, and observability tools \n\nFull-stack capabilities and experience in building frontends are a big plus \n\nFamiliarity with security, authentication, authorization, and secure API design \n\nExperience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives \n\nWhat will you gain:\n\nWe want you to know that we value our employees and want to provide you with more than just a job. As a valued member of our team, you will receive a range of benefits that include:\n\nAn annual financial bonus\n\nAn extra week of holiday (25 days/year), Up to 5 My days, and 1 day off for volunteering\n\nAdditional paid time offs for married couples/registered partnerships, parents on the first day of school, extended paternity leave, and time-offs for foreigners dealing with state office matters\n\nFlexible working hours and the possibility to work remotely\n\nPension plan contribution\n\nFree refreshments (water, coffee, tea, milk, and fruits available in the office)\n\nCompany Shares\n\nAlza Discounts\n\nCompany mobile phone and laptop\n\nMeal vouchers in the amount of 160 CZK per working day\n\nA variety of Benefits (Cafeteria Plan, Multisport Card, Makro Card)\n\nA family program with T-Mobile (discounts for employee’s family members and friends)\n\nTraining and qualification opportunities (access to the internal learning HUB)\n\nPersonal development opportunities (career path, job rotation, Bring your own Project)\n\nInvolvement in various activities supporting charity organizations (Flea markets, volunteering days, food collections)\n\nA relocation package for candidates coming from abroad\n\nOpportunities for relaxation and wellness activities (massage chair, PlayStation 5, etc.)\n\nFun team events such as brunches, Health Day, and summer and holiday parties!\n\nAt our company, we believe in creating a positive work environment that values our employees' well-being and development.
