Tech Lead AI-assisted Search (m/w/d)

Dein Profil

Do your fingers fly across the keyboard when you code? Excellent. We provide reliable equipment and the opportunity for you to contribute your expertise to the team.

You :

• have completed a degree in computer science, business informatics or a comparable qualification combined with relevant professional experience.
• have already assumed technical responsibility for an engineering team as a Tech Lead — from providing technical guidance and conducting reviews to deciding when a result is ready to move to the next stage.
• have practical, in-depth experience with retrieval and search infrastructure, ideally OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, vector search, and indexing and encoding pipelines. You can independently assess technical decisions in this field — this is your core area of expertise.
• have experience leading technical teams from strong prototypes to search solutions used in production, ideally in an international, multilingual environment with multiple channels and applications. You know how to define scope intelligently and recognise the right time to move to the next stage.
• have a deep understanding of backend architectures and distributed systems, as well as practical development experience with Python and/or Java.
• have strong knowledge of AWS and sufficient expertise in Infrastructure as Code, ideally CloudFormation, to design and share responsibility for a robust IaC strategy for your applications.
• ideally have a basic understanding of production ML pipelines for custom models, including training, deployment and monitoring — for example, with Databricks. This is a plus, not a requirement, as search remains your primary area of responsibility.
• communicate confidently in German and English and work effectively with international and cross-functional teams as well as key stakeholders such as architects and the Platform Team.
