Job description

Lead/Principal AI Solutions Engineer - 100% Remote (m/f/d)

Optimus Search has partnered exclusively with a highly respected specialist in generative AI and ChatGPT. Since GPT-4’s release in 2023, the team has been behind a range of real-world projects in sectors such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices - all making use of the latest language model technology. Their work includes building AI co-pilots for engineers, expert GPTs for specialist publishers, AI tutors for students, and smart recommendation tools for customer service. The team’s approach is backed by decades of hands-on software development experience for some of Germany’s leading global players.

Your Tasks as a Lead/Principal AI Solutions Engineer:

As a versatile software developer, you take pride in creating solutions with generative AI, large language models (LLM), and advanced search methods (RAG). You design intuitive frontends and build the backends that power them with the right data.
In this position, you’ll enjoy a high degree of freedom to shape and implement innovative ideas. You’ll collaborate closely with fellow developers and our clients, actively contributing to discussions on emerging technologies and new approaches. Your solid expertise in AI, language models, and search technologies will be central to your success.
You’ll also be continuously improving our team and our tools - developing custom frameworks, refining the build pipeline, and rethinking processes so each project becomes smoother and more aligned with the latest tech. The end result of your work: productive AI-driven software that tackles challenges once thought impossible.

What we are looking for in a Lead/Principal AI Solutions Engineer:

You are proficient in at least one object-oriented, have solid experience with databases and backend development (e.g. .NET Core, Node.js, Python).
You have worked with generative AI, large language models (LLM), and ideally with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and search technologies.
You have experience in cloud environments (Azure preferred, AWS/GCP a plus) and in implementing CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
You are capable of working independently, managing your workload, and have hands-on experience in delivering projects end-to-end.
Fluency in German.

Even if this combination of skills might seem rare, we are convinced that with strong intrinsic motivation and a good cultural fit within our team, the necessary technical expertise can be learned quickly.
