Job Description
YOUR ROLE AT SIXT
You support the design and development of scalable, production-ready AI automation frameworks and agentic workflows that integrate into SIXT's technology ecosystem
You help translate complex business challenges into technical solutions, exploring agentic architectures, MCP integrations, predictive models, and neural networks
You contribute across the full product lifecycle - from prototyping and API development to deployment - in close collaboration with our Software Engineering teams
You experiment with and benchmark modern GenAI frameworks, evaluate the most effective approach for a given problem, and share your learnings with the team
You write clean, well-structured Python code and actively contribute to our tech stack
You collaborate with engineers and business leaders, turning requirements into impactful, working data products
YOUR SKILLS MATTER
Academic Background You are currently enrolled in a Master's program in a STEM field (e.g. Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering) and bring a strong technical foundation, with strong academic performance
Programming You write clean Python code and have a solid understanding of core computer science and machine learning concepts, demonstrated through university projects, coursework, or personal work
AI Expertise You are familiar with modern GenAI frameworks and agentic patterns (e.g. LangChain, MCP) and have hands-on exposure to Deep Learning frameworks and classical ML libraries like scikit-learn or XGBoost
Technical Know-How You are comfortable working with Git, have first experience with API development (e.g. FastAPI) and containerization tools like Docker; exposure to cloud platforms is a plus
Product Mindset & Execution You focus on real impact and combine solid technical depth with a hands-on, get-things-done mentality - picking the most effective solution whether that means simple heuristics, a classical ML model, or a complex neural network - and thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
Communication You translate complex AI concepts and black-box logic into clear insights for both technical and non-technical audiences and communicate fluently in German
