Missions
- As a senior member of the AI team, you will be responsible for building cutting-edge agentic systems that prioritize privacy and correctness in production environments.

Profil recherché
- Experience in environments where security and privacy are top priorities, such as PII redaction, LLM guardrails, and GDPR compliance- A solution-driven mindset: you analyze problems thoroughly and then drive them to resolution
- Experience in regulated industries such as healthcare or fintech, ideally including AI products certified as medical devices, and German language skills, since our customers are German-speaking
- Not a perfect match on every point? We care more about shared drive and a real sense of mission than about ticking every box. If you want to dedicate yourself to meaningful work alongside a team that feels the same, we’d love to hear from you
- Strong coding skills across the stack. Ours includes Python, Go, GitHub Actions, and AWS, and you’re comfortable reading and fixing code outside the main codebase

- Experience leading, mentoring, and supporting other engineers
- 8+ years of relevant industry experience, with a strong AI/ML background, at senior level or above
- Hands-on experience designing, shipping, and operating LLM-powered products (RAG, agents) in live production.

If your background is in productionizing traditional ML systems rather than LLMs, we still want to hear from you
- Experience shaping technical direction and making well-reasoned recommendations to product and business stakeholders, especially where strategy is still evolving
- Hands-on experience with LLM evaluation, such as golden datasets, LLM-as-a-judge, or offline and online metrics, and with systematically improving prompts and models
