Du entscheidest fundiert, wann wir Lösungen selbst entwickeln, wann wir externe Dienstleister oder Tools einkaufen und ab welchem Punkt ein fester interner Teamausbau strategisch notwendig ist. - Tech-Leadership als Perspektive: Du bist der fachliche Sparringspartner für das Gründerteam und gestaltest bei fortschreitendem Unternehmenswachstum das Hiring und die Struktur unseres zukünftigen Engineering-Teams mit. Qualifications - Mindestens 5 Jahre in Software-Engineering, Systemarchitektur oder Data-/ML-Engineering, davon nachweisbare Praxis mit produktiven GenAI-Systemen. - Nachweisbare, praktische Erfahrung mit dem produktiven Einsatz von GenAI (LLMs, RAG-Architekturen, agentische Patterns) in den letzten Jahren. - Du bist absolut sicher im Umgang mit Python sowie modernen Frameworks wie LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph und MCP. - Du entwirfst Architekturen nicht nur auf dem Whiteboard, sondern baust funktionierende Prototypen selbst. - Du kennst dich mit Cloud-Infrastrukturen (AWS, Azure, GCP) ebenso aus wie mit On-Premise-Setups. - Du hast bereits Erfahrung in der Mandatsarbeit oder engen Kundenzusammenarbeit. - Du kannst komplexe Deep-Tech-Themen für das C-Level, Fachabteilungen und Gremien verständlich übersetzen. - Du sprichst Deutsch und Englisch verhandlungssicher. - Du hast ein Gespür für Machbarkeit, kannst Ressourcen richtig einschätzen und hast Lust, perspektivisch die Führung eines wachsenden Engineering-Teams zu übernehmen. - Echter innerer Antrieb für unser Leitbild „Gute KI.
