You will guide reviews, elevate maintainability, and help the team deliver reliably at speed-optionally acting as Scrum Master to foster self-organization.

What you'll bring

You have deep experience in distributed systems and scalable application design, with strong hands-on skills in LLMs, advanced RAG patterns, and agentic workflows. Solid experience in performance optimization, cost management, and troubleshooting complex production systems is essential. Experience designing evaluation frameworks for AI systems, validating model behavior, and applying agentic engineering patterns is critical. Technical leadership and mentoring ability are also part of what you'll bring.

Hands‑on experience with SAP BTP is a plus, along with development skills (Node.js, Python, or similar). Familiarity with e‑invoicing is a plus, or the ability to ramp up fast on domain‑specific formats.

What you’ll build

You’ll design and build scalable application systems by yourself. This includes creating advanced RAG pipelines. You’ll also develop multi‑agent workflows. Evaluation and benchmarking frameworks to measure AI system quality, reliability, and performance are things you’ll build and own. You’ll optimize latency, throughput, and cost efficiency across systems. You’ll partner with platform, data, and AI teams to design robust, production-ready solutions and improve system integration. System scalability, resilience, and maintainability are areas you’ll continuously work to strengthen.

Where you belong

You’ll take end‑to‑end technical ownership of critical systems and contribute to engineering excellence across the team. Mentoring less‑experienced engineers, guiding design and code quality, and building strong technical capabilities within the team are all part of the role. The team operates across global, cross‑functional groups in a culture that values continuous improvement, operational excellence, and knowledge sharing. You’ll work closely with product, AI, and consulting teams to deflect issues at the source.

Differentiators

• Microservice architecture and REST API‑based applications.
• SAP BTP‑native development experience.
• Experience building AI‑powered developer or customer‑facing tools — not just consuming AI APIs, but designing the interaction layer that makes AI outputs actionable for non‑technical users.
