AI Builder — Working Student

These questions will guide the initial work:

• Regression suites : How can domain experts turn traces, code, and prompts into useful evals in a way that scales?
• Coverage estimation : How can we quantify the gaps between an eval suite and the range of expected agent behaviors?
• Live monitoring : Is it possible to detect anomalous behaviour in production with a similar precision to regression evals?
• Eval analysis : How much evidence is enough to act (e.g., deploy, debug, roll back a feature, choose a different model)? You will help refine them, test approaches, create assets, and pose new questions.

The role

As an AI Builder, you will take an open EvalOps problem from investigation to a working prototype, ready to be tested. Whatever your focus, you will be expected to take a problem through to a useful result. Here is what that means in practice:

• Research emerging AI and evaluation capabilities and distinguish substance from hype.
• Understand the user, workflow, domain, and organisational problem around the work.
• Evaluate usefulness, quality, safety, and reliability with appropriate evidence.
• Communicate decisions and learning clearly.
• Create assets that other people can understand, use, and improve.
• Code and build end to end.

This shared foundation leaves room for different strengths and interests. Each AI Builder will then develop greater depth in one of three pillars.

Three pillars, different passions

Pillar

Driving question

Possible EvalOps focus

Product

What should we build?

Workflows and interfaces that help domain experts create evals, inspect traces, understand results, and make decisions.

Engineering

How should we build it?

Dependable and scalable evaluation infrastructure, trace processing, monitoring, and governance tooling.

Data Science

How do we know it works?

Coverage measures, sampling strategies, scoring methods, statistical tests, anomaly detection, and reasoning under uncertainty.

We expect every AI Builder to develop a practical foundation across all three pillars and to pursue greater depth in the one that most strongly matches their passion.

What we value

• Problem obsession . A difficult question captures your curiosity. You keep returning to it, pursue ideas without waiting for instructions, and care deeply about finding an answer that works.
• Initiative and follow-through . You turn uncertainty into something you can investigate, test, and improve—and stay resourceful when the first approach fails.
• Evidence of making things work . Show us something you created, the decisions you made, and what you learned along the way.
• Independent judgment . You test new capabilities yourself, distinguish evidence from enthusiasm, and change your mind when the findings warrant it.
• Generosity in collaboration . You explain your thinking, seek candid feedback, act on it, and help others make progress.

What is required

• You are pursuing a Master’s degree.
• You can write code and turn an idea into working, tested software.
• You can work from Tübingen and communicate fluently in English, our company language.

Relevant fields include Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Physics, Bioinformatics, Computational Neuroscience, Medical Informatics, Quantitative Data Science, Cognitive Science. We also welcome candidates from other disciplines who can demonstrate strong problem-solving and practical technical ability.

What you will gain

• Industry insight . Learn what works and what breaks in real enterprise AI systems, with access to problems from EggAI’s client work
• Meaningful ownership . Take an EvalOps problem from investigation to a working, evaluated solution, with freedom to shape the approach.
• Close mentorship . Work directly with EggAI’s Chief AI Officer and sharpen your judgment through feedback from engineering, product, and project leads.
• Room to develop . Deepen your strengths, learn from peers with complementary perspectives, and use modern AI-development tools on unresolved problems.
• A say in the Lab’s direction . Help establish its working practices, propose new questions, and influence what it pursues next.
• Competitive compensation , including recognition for exceptional contributions, and a potential path to a full-time EggAI role after graduation.

How to apply

A short cover letter is required.

Your CV tells us what you have done so far, but we're also interested in the why . Use the letter to explain why you made those choices, what drives you, and why the AI Builder role at EggAI Labs feels like the right next step in your career.

We are looking for exceptional students, and excellence takes many forms, e.g., academic results, research or ambitious projects. Whatever form yours takes, show us the appropriate evidence, be it grades, publications, something you've built or other evidence of impact.

This is an in-person role in Tübingen. We can only consider candidates who live within commuting distance.

About EggAI

Agentic workforces are inevitable. Making them work is our mission.

EggAI is building the engineering methods, operating models, and reusable technology to deploy agentic workforces with the quality and control required for sustained business impact.

Working closely with enterprise clients, we design, implement and operate agentic systems that evolve from augmenting individual tasks to autonomously executing end-to-end processes alongside people—resilient, controlled, and scalable. We begin with the client problem, select the technical approach that best serves it, and remain accountable through deployment, adoption, and operations. Each deployment strengthens the next by turning production learning into reusable capability.

We are an experienced, international team working across Europe. We set high standards, take ownership of outcomes, and value clear thinking, candid feedback, and the ability to turn ideas into tangible results.
