We are looking for an AI Platform Engineer (m/f/d), to build and operate shared AI infrastructure and developer platforms that enable AI for every engineer in the organization.

Design and enhance DevOps and CI/CD systems with AI
Integrate AI into developer workflows (Git, CI systems, issue tracking, observability)
Build data curation and retrieval pipelines for AI systems (training, fine-tuning, RAG, evaluation)
Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity, CI signal quality, and operational efficiency
Act as an internal multiplier: enable teams rather than building one-off solutions
Collaborate with engineering teams across Germany, the US, China, and Japan
