• Deploy and maintain cloud-based AI services, preferably on Microsoft Azure, with occasional AWS or GCP projects
• Ensure production quality through comprehensive testing, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring
• Engage directly with clients to understand requirements, propose technical architecture, and guide technology decisions throughout project lifecycles

What We're Looking For

• Strong professional experience developing with Python in production environments
• Hands-on experience with machine learning models and large language models from real-world projects
• Practical knowledge of cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure, alternatively AWS or GCP
• Completed degree or vocational training in Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, or related field
• Ability to work independently, make architectural decisions, and quickly master new technologies
• Excellent German language skills (required for client interaction in the DACH market)
• Based in or willing to relocate to Cologne, with flexible remote work available

We handle all coordination and provide guidance throughout the interview process. Please apply exclusively through Get A Job.ai rather than contacting the client directly, as we manage all candidate submissions.
