AI Engineer

Our client is one of Europe’s largest insurance brokerage groups - €500m revenue, 2,500+ employees and and 120+ companies across its portfolio. Owned by the private equity house behind Klarna, TeamViewer and McAfee.

They’re building a central AI transformation team in Germany to re-engineer and standardise processes across their 120 portfolio companies using AI-native technology.

Role Overview:

You’ll join as a AI Engineer with maximum ownership - becoming one of the first engineers in a new 8-person AI transformation function and taking large scale AI products from raw business problem to production.

Key Responsibilities

• Own AI projects end to end, from problem definition and architecture through to production.
• Build agentic systems using custom harnesses rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf orchestration.
• Ship the complete product around them - frontend, backend and agent layer.
• Build the evals, monitoring and error handling required to keep AI systems reliable in production.
• Set the engineering standards and technical foundations that a new AI team will be built on.

Qualifications

• Strong experience building and shipping software in production.
• Deep hands-on AI experience across inference, agentic systems and custom harnesses.
• Full-stack capability spanning frontend, backend and the agent layer.
• Experience shipping evals, monitoring and error handling into live AI systems - not just prototypes.
• Comfortable integrating modern applications with legacy backends and complex data models.
• Able to operate with significant autonomy, ambiguity and ownership.

If you want to build AI systems that change how 120+ businesses operate - starting from a blank sheet of paper, complete technical ownership and the opportunity to shape an engineering function from day one - we’d love to hear from you.
