AI Engineer (m/f/d)
Job description
Your Career
We are looking for experienced AI Engineers who don't just demonstrate AI, but make it productive – as part of complex business applications that must hold up in our customers' daily lives. You are a software developer with real engineering depth, ideally with full-stack experience, and you are comfortable in cloud environments like AWS and/or Azure. You consider LLMs, agents, and data-driven services from the outset – and you know where they make sense from a business perspective and where they don't.
A key focus for us is Agentic Engineering: systems that don't just respond, but act – with tool access, multi-stage workflows, state, error handling, and clearly defined boundaries. This is exactly where the prototype is separated from the solution that can be handed over to a customer with a clear conscience. And this is precisely where we need people who can do both: understand models and build robust software.
What's important to us: this role remains hands-on. You build yourself, you deploy yourself, you debug yourself.
At nerdware, it's not just the code that's central, but above all the person behind it. The best technical solution emerges where team spirit, open communication, and mutual trust are lived. If you fit in with us on a human level, you've already taken the most important step.
We work in a field that is changing faster than any other in software development. That's why we're looking for people who take responsibility, stay curious, and can distinguish hype from substance. Initiative, technical foresight, and the joy of developing solutions together are just as important to us as respectful and appreciative interaction within the team.
Your Tasks
- Conception, development, and further development of AI-powered software solutions – from the initial idea to stable production operation
- Agentic Engineering: Design and implementation of agentic systems – tool and function calling, orchestration of multi-stage workflows, context and state management, retries and fallbacks, Human-in-the-Loop, and sensible guardrails
- Design and implementation of LLM applications: RAG pipelines, structured extraction, evaluation, observability
- Integration of ML models, foundation models, and data-driven services into existing or new systems – including the surrounding APIs, data flows, and infrastructure
- Hands-on development of scalable, maintainable, and performant applications on modern technologies and cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock/SageMaker, Azure OpenAI/AI Foundry or similar)
- Identification of AI use cases in customer projects – and an honest assessment of when an agent is the right answer and when a deterministic solution is better
- Agentic coding in your own daily work: using AI tools productively and responsibly in development, review, and delivery – and showing the team how it's done
- Technological consulting for our customers on architecture, technology, and make-or-buy decisions
- Ensuring code quality through clean code, tests, reviews, and best practices
- Active shaping of our growing AI competence field – setting topics, bringing knowledge to the team, establishing standards
Your Profile
- Several years of experience in modern software development, ideally in a full-stack environment – you are and remain a developer
- Practical experience with LLMs and generative AI in real projects: prompting, RAG, embeddings/vector databases, function calling, fine-tuning, or agent frameworks.
- Experience or serious interest in Agentic Engineering – you have already moved an agent beyond the demo status or are eager to do so
- Solid understanding of ML fundamentals and data processing – you know what a model can do and where its limits lie
- Cloud development with AWS and/or Azure, including CI/CD, containers, and Infrastructure as Code
- Proficient in Clean Code, SOLID principles, and the design of clean software architectures
- Independent, responsible working style with strong analytical and conceptual skills
- The ability to develop pragmatic solutions for complex requirements – and to think outside the box
- High motivation and passion for software development and for a technology field that reinvents itself monthly
- Very good German skills (C1) spoken and written, as well as good English skills
Since we work as a service provider with different customers and projects, we welcome experience in one or more of the following areas:
Frameworks
- Angular
- .NET
- NestJS
- C#
- TypeScript
- Python
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and/or CDK
What do we offer you?
Unit: AI Engineering
Level: Senior
Workload: Full-time
Some of our benefits:
- Tech, Ownership & Impact
- Shape Architecture: You make technical decisions, set engineering standards, and take responsibility for long-lasting system designs.
- Makers Lab: In addition to customer projects, you develop internal tools and solutions that really move us forward. If an idea is good, we implement it.
- Share Knowledge: Everyone contributes something in show-how sessions and workshops – whether junior or senior. Targeted further training is added on top.
- Real Say: Flat hierarchies mean real decision-making freedom for us, not micromanagement.
- Your Setup, Your Choice: Work with the setup that suits you – macOS or Windows? Your decision.
- Flexibility & Salary
- Flexible working hours: Whether early bird or night owl; you work when you are most productive.
- Remote & Home-office within Germany: You work where you are most productive.
- Workation within the EU: Work temporarily from another location? A matter of course for us.
- Lunch is on us: Through LunchIt, you receive a €7.50 subsidy for your lunch every working day.
- Pay: Your experience will be remunerated above average – without you having to negotiate for a long time.
- 30 days of vacation: Enough time to really switch off – and flexible planning to ensure that works out.
- Team Culture & Gaming
- From LAN parties to joint quarterly events – we experience real highlights away from the code.
- After work with a cold drink of your choice – because strong teams are not only built in the daily stand-up.
- Well supplied throughout the day. :) A well-stocked fridge with snacks and a large selection of drinks is always available.
