About the role

In this role as a Junior AI Developer, you will build and maintain robust Python-based backend services that integrate LLMs, vector databases, and RAG pipelines into existing application landscapes. You will collaborate with senior engineers to deploy production‑ready AI solutions while ensuring code remains clean, secure, and well‑documented.

Your responsibilities

As a junior AI developer, you will develop robust backend services (primarily in Python) to integrate LLMs, vector databases, and other AI components into existing application landscapes
You will be in charge of writing clean, secure, and maintainable code following central code quality guidelines and architecture principles
This role includes collaboration with Senior engineers on building out our Internal Developer Platform and utilizing given modules for infrastructure self‑service with terraform
Key duties will include tasks related to designing, testing, and optimizing prompts for various Language Models (LLMs) to achieve high‑quality, reliable outputs for specific business use cases
You will implement Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, including document chunking, embedding generation, and vector search strategies
The role will assist in the evaluation and tracking of AI model performance, ensuring adherence to our AI evaluation and testing frameworks
You will be responsible for creating and training machine learning models and neural networks for tasks like computer vision, speech recognition, and data analysis
Creationand maintenance of document technical decisions, API endpoints, and system architectures clearly will be part of your responsibilities
As a junior AI developer, you will actively participating in code reviews, bringing a fresh perspective and a willingness to learn from feedback
You will work alongside within data engineers, stakeholders, and project managers to identify business needs and drive AI solutions
This role involved cleaning and preparing large datasets to train and fine‑tune models
You stay updated on cutting‑edge AI technologies, tools, and industry trends to keep projects innovative

Our requirements

1+ years of experience - AI engineering, data science, or machine learning, ideally with data engineering expertise
Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with software design patterns, object‑oriented programming, and functional programming concepts
Understanding of version control (Git), CI/CD concepts, and RESTful API development (e.g., using FastAPI or Flask or plumber)
Foundational understanding of a typical GenAI stack (LLMs, Vector Databases, frameworks like LangChain)
Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud
Experience deploying AI solutions using Docker and Kubernetes
Knowledge of database systems (SQL and NoSQL)
Familiarity with Data Engineering concepts (Data Lakes, ETL/ELT pipelines)
Solid knowledge and practical experience in no‑code and automation tools like as Make, n8n and Airtable
Basic knowledge in ML frameworks and cloud‑based AI platforms like Azure ML and Databricks
Experience with AI frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and tools for building AI systems
First‑hand experience building a basic RAG application or deploying an open‑source model locally
Knowledge of MLOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
Ability to collaborate effectively with clients, team members, and cross‑functional teams
You are naturally inquisitive about the latest AI papers, open‑source tools, and architectural paradigms. You don't just copy‑paste solutions; you seek to understand the why
You understand that "AI prototypes" are easy, but "production‑ready AI" is hard. You value writing tests (Pytest), handling edge cases, managing errors gracefully, and considering security implications (e.g., Prompt Injection)
Articulate with impeccable verbal and written communication skills in German and English. Strong & discerning listener
