About the role

You want to use AI to transform how companies operate, make decisions, and grow? Then join us in shaping the next generation of AI-driven architectures for leading organizations worldwide. Design agentic platforms, autonomous delivery pipelines, and intelligent systems that translate enterprise knowledge into scalable business impact. Bring your unique strengths to our distinctive team—one that consistently supports each other. Together with Boston Consulting Group and our clients, we drive innovation from the boardroom to the code.

Shape the world of tomorrow

  • You design AI-driven target architectures and
    conceptualize AI-powered Software Factories—from "agentic software
    factories" to autonomous software development at enterprise
    scale—while leading small project teams
  • You develop and take ownership of AI-driven
    delivery pipelines that translate development processes, engineering
    standards, and architectural principles into machine-executable workflows
  • You establish trusted AI engineering environments
    by designing governance mechanisms with multi-layer verification, clearly
    defined identity boundaries, and end-to-end traceability
  • You implement and oversee evaluation and security
    mechanisms, including automated testing and evaluation pipelines,
    architecture compliance checks, and red-teaming approaches for
    AI-generated systems, ensuring adherence to quality and security
    standards
  • You transform enterprise knowledge into
    machine-readable structures—such as architecture decisions, domain models,
  • APIs, and business rules—to enable autonomous software development
  • You translate business intent into scalable
    architectures, embed AI sustainably into existing technology landscapes
    and operating models, and turn strategic vision into measurable business
    impact

This is how you can make a difference

  • You have successfully completed a degree in
    Computer Science, Information Systems, AI Engineering, or a related field
    with above-average academic performance.
  • You have at least four years of relevant
    experience in IT consulting, IT project management, or professional
    software engineering with a strong AI focus.
  • You have experience leading project teams of
    more than three people.
  • You analyze, design, and optimize
    state-of-the-art custom IT architectures, leveraging your deep
    understanding of legacy IT, enterprise solutions, and current technology
    trends (e.g., Agentic AI, LLM orchestration, AI-native architectures).
  • You have hands-on experience with AI
    systems, such as LLM-based applications, AI agents, or machine learning
    platforms.
  • You are familiar with modern software
    delivery practices, including Dev Sec Ops, CI/CD pipelines, automated
    testing, and platform engineering.
  • Concepts such as Agent Assembly Line,
    Execution Harness, and Context Engineering are familiar to you, and you
    know how to integrate them into secure, scalable enterprise architectures.
  • You are able to translate complex business
    requirements into technical architectures and communicate effectively with
    both technical and business stakeholders.
  • You thrive in interdisciplinary teams and
    global environments and are willing to travel as needed.
  • You are fluent in both German and English
    and can confidently communicate complex technical concepts in both
    languages.
