AI SWE / OpenStack Service Engineer (m/f/d)

T-Systems is part of the Deutsche Telekom Group, with around 30.000 employees worldwide. We create technology with purpose to generate a positive impact on society. We are looking for curious talent, eager to learn, take on challenges, and contribute ideas that transform our customers’ experience.

We trust people: we offer autonomy, continuous support, and a collaborative environment where you can grow without limits. We are one global team, guided by respect, integrity, and a passion for doing better every day.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse OpenStack-style services and surrounding components to map APIs, configuration flows, service dependencies, database usage, and operational assumptions.
• Use AI coding agents to accelerate code navigation, call-flow reconstruction, interface analysis, and technical documentation across large multi-repository environments.
• Support build and test diagnosis for selected services, including dependency resolution, container build issues, runtime configuration gaps, and reproducibility problems.
• Create structured service handover artefacts such as service maps, dependency notes, API summaries, risk observations, and onboarding documents for receiving teams.
• Work with DevOps, testing, security, and architecture specialists to validate AI-assisted findings and turn them into actionable engineering backlog items.
• Identify technical debt, maintainability risks, hidden coupling, missing documentation, and areas where automated analysis should be complemented by expert review.

Examples of market tools, models, and SDLC platforms expected

• AI coding environments such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Cline, Continue, or VS Code-based AI extensions for large-repository engineering workflows.
• Coding-capable models such as DeepSeek Coder, Qwen/Qwen-Coder, CodeGeeX, StarCoder, Code Llama, Mistral, or other approved open-weight and enterprise model stacks.
• OpenStack-related components and patterns such as Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Keystone, Glance, Horizon, Heat, placement services, message buses, and Kubernetes integrations.
• Supporting engineering tools such as Git, GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, Python tooling, API clients, log analysis tools, and dependency scanners.

• 5+ years in software engineering, cloud platform engineering, DevOps-oriented development, or technical software handover roles.
• Strong Python skills plus experience in at least one backend or systems language such as Go, Java, C, C++, or Rust.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools for codebase exploration, documentation generation, refactoring support, or build issue triage.
• Good understanding of OpenStack-derived architectures, cloud control planes, distributed services, APIs, CI/CD, container delivery, and Linux-based environments.
• Strong analytical discipline for separating AI suggestions from evidence-backed findings and producing concise technical outputs for engineering stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in confidential enterprise environments with high expectations on traceability, quality of documentation, and structured handover readiness.
