About the role

  • Further development of our product through AI integration based on modern LLM architectures (multi-model strategy using different Large Language Models)
  • Design, implementation and optimization of RAG architectures (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) using our own vector database to connect domain-specific knowledge bases to LLMs
  • Design and development of an AI agent that actively assists end users in operating the software (agentic workflows, tool-calling, memory handling, guardrails)
  • Design of an integration agent that can automatically connect and configure interfaces to customer systems (e.g., REST, webhooks, events)
  • Technical and strategic evaluation (buy vs. build) in the area of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), including market analysis, PoCs and architectural decisions
  • Development of robust prompt and system architectures, including evaluation, testing, monitoring and performance optimization
  • Implementation of evaluation frameworks for LLM outputs (quality, hallucination rate, relevance, cost/benefit)
  • Integration into existing backend and frontend systems, including API design, security and scalability
  • Close collaboration with the CTO, CEO, product management, UX/UI and backend teams to define AI features with clear business value

Requirements
