(Senior) AI Product Engineer (m/w/d)

Berlin, Hybrid
Full-time
Permanent employee

What You'll Do

You’ll identify open AI opportunities, build them from start to finish, and bring them to real users. As a Senior AI Product Engineer, you’ll work across our three product squads: You’ll single-handedly turn unaddressed topics into products, hand them off once they’re up and running, and serve as a sparring partner for the squad PMs on all AI-related topics. For us, “senior” refers to your approach to work, not your years of experience. You’ll report directly to Product Leadership.

Your Responsibilities
  • Independent AI projects (about half of your time)
  • You’ll identify high-impact AI opportunities in our legal workflows - in areas where no specific squad is responsible
  • Validation happens quickly: discussions with attorneys, Legal Ops, and insurers; prototypes built in days
  • You’ll bring the winning solutions into production yourself: routing, chaining, summarization, and agent-based loops
  • You’ll hand off mature features to the squad - complete with documentation, evaluations, and a handover plan
Support for the squads (the other half)
  • Feasibility, costs, model selection, risks: You’ll answer these questions before every AI feature is launched
  • You support the teams in designing evaluations, golden datasets, and guardrails
  • You review concepts before they go into the roadmap - including prompt injection and compliance risks (GDPR, Section 203 of the German Criminal Code)
  • You advance AI best practices: prompt engineering standards, LLM observability, and agent-based coding workflows

What you bring

Must-have
  • Multiple production-ready AI/LLM systems that you’ve shipped to real users and taken responsibility for - no prototypes
  • Demonstrable product ownership: from a vague problem to a finished product
  • Strong Python skills and a solid foundation in software engineering (Git, testing, CI/CD, code review)
  • In-depth experience with LangGraph, LangChain, or similar - including an understanding of what’s happening under the hood
  • Proficiency with LLM provider APIs: function/tool calling, structured outputs, streaming
  • Evaluations, golden datasets, and guardrails before deployment
  • Solid prompt engineering - you know when to use which technique
  • Business-level English; German is a major plus due to our legal domain
Soft Skills
  • The maturity to work without a squad around you: You set your own priorities and know when to say no
  • You can explain a technical trade-off to a lawyer and a legal workflow to an engineer

What we promise

Work Environment & Flexibility
  • Office-first: 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home - with flexibility in how you structure your work
  • Modern, air-conditioned office with plenty of natural light and a large rooftop terrace overlooking Berlin
  • Central location between Gleisdreieck and Potsdamer Platz
Benefits
  • Full coverage of the public-transport ticket
  • Company pension plan with a 20% employer contribution
  • Corporate benefits platform with discounts from many brands
  • Dog-friendly office
  • Regular company and team events, after-work fun with Switch, PS5, darts, and foosball
  • Free drinks, fresh fruit, and granola
Culture & Collaboration
  • Agile mindset with open communication - every voice counts
  • Feedback is part of our culture - we believe in growing together
Fast application process
  • Your application as an AI Product Engineer (Senior) - short and to the point
  • Approx. 20-minute introductory conversation with our HR team
  • Approx. 60-minute in-person interview with your hiring manager
  • Approx. 30-minute discussion with the management team
