Jobbeschreibung

Our client is a fast-growing deep-tech company founded in 2019 and recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies globally. They are the largest quantum software company in the EU, with 250+ employees worldwide and growing, delivering advanced solutions trusted by leading global enterprises across several critical industries, including finance, energy, manufacturing, telecom, and industrial sectors.

Requirements:

• Solid engineering foundations: Ideally 3+ years working as an engineer, with relevant experience in a technology company.
• External customer-delivery ownership: Personal accountability for managing expectations, scope, priorities, risks, commitments, and outcomes. Participating in technical discovery, architecture discussions or demos is not equivalent to owning customer delivery.
• Formal technical people management: Around 2+ years directly managing software engineers, data engineers/scientists, or AI professionals—not simply coordinating project teams.
• Performance and career-development responsibility: Ownership of feedback, 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, and underperformance management.
• Production-AI technical judgement: Enough depth to understand deployed AI systems, assess trade-offs and work effectively alongside a separate Tech Lead. The candidate does not need to act as the primary architect or hands-on technical lead.
• The role centers on managing a small team of engineers, customer relationships, and project delivery, with limited coding.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, or related fields, with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience with deep learning model compression techniques and inference optimization engines (TensorRT, vLLM, etc.).
• Experience in the evaluation of Generative AI systems on real live data.
• Indefinite contract.
• Signing bonus.
• They offer work visa sponsorship (if applicable).
• Relocation package (if applicable).
• Private health insurance.
• Eligibility for educational budget according to internal policy.
• Hybrid opportunity.
• Language classes and discounted lunch options.
• A high-performance, collaborative environment, operating at pace on cutting-edge technologies.
• Career plan. Opportunity to learn and teach.
