Applied AI Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Applied AI Engineer based in Germany.

As an Applied AI Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and building the next generation of intelligent, agentic systems.
You will develop the core infrastructure that enables AI agents to manage context, use tools, coordinate tasks, and continuously improve their performance.
Working at the intersection of advanced AI research and practical software engineering, you will transform complex operational workflows into reliable, scalable production solutions.
You will establish robust evaluation, testing, and observability frameworks to ensure AI-powered systems deliver predictable and measurable results.
You will also explore innovative ways to integrate coding agents and specialized subagents into software development processes.
Collaborating closely with product and operational teams, you will identify high-impact automation opportunities and translate them into effective technical solutions.
As an early core member of the engineering team, you will have significant influence over architectural decisions, technical standards, and the long-term AI strategy.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will design and implement the technical foundations of agentic systems while driving the adoption of AI-powered engineering workflows. Your responsibilities will include:

• Design and build essential components of agentic systems, including memory, context management, tool-calling capabilities, orchestration mechanisms, and feedback loops.

• Develop reusable AI infrastructure that enables new workflows to be introduced quickly, consistently, and with predictable reliability.

• Build comprehensive evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance, identify failure points, and understand the factors behind successful outcomes.

• Integrate testing, tracing, debugging, and evaluation into the software engineering lifecycle as fundamental practices.

• Develop systems and validation processes that allow agentic workflows to be thoroughly assessed before production deployment.

• Advance the use of large language models (LLMs) in software development by creating sophisticated AI-assisted engineering workflows.

• Build workflows where coding agents and specialized subagents can explore code repositories, implement changes, review architecture, validate conventions, run evaluations, and iterate with minimal human intervention.

• Actively use agentic engineering tools and workflows in daily development activities.

• Design architectures that enable specialized AI agents, tools, deterministic software, and human expertise to work together effectively.

• Determine when to use LLMs, traditional software solutions, human intervention, or coordinated multi-agent approaches to achieve the best outcomes.

• Collaborate with operational and product teams to understand existing processes, identify high-value automation opportunities, and transform them into reliable production systems.

• Establish scalable architectural patterns and engineering standards for agentic systems as the organization grows.

• Take ownership of technical decisions and contribute to the overall direction of the AI engineering function.
