AI Transformation Lead

What we’re looking for

We're looking for an exceptional, hands-on AI/ML engineer to build the AI and data technology layer that powers Twentyfour's supply chain organization. In this role, you'll design and ship agentic and ML systems that turn component, supplier, and market data into proactive intelligence, letting us find, evaluate, and de-risk drone components and suppliers faster than anyone else. This is a technical leadership role where you'll set the direction for one of SCM's key differentiators, leading a small team while partnering directly with the Director of SCM and R&D.

The day-to-day

Technical ownership: design, build, and own the AI/data tech layer for the SCM function

Agentic tooling: build agentic and ML tooling that proactively discovers, evaluates, and monitors drone components and suppliers

Data intelligence: turn unstructured supplier and component data (datasheets, BOMs, market data) into structured, decision-grade intelligence

Team leadership: lead a small AI team and set the technical direction, standards, and roadmap for SCM AI

Cross-functional delivery: partner with the Director of SCM and R&D to translate sourcing problems into shipped capabilities

Data foundation: stand up pipelines, storage, and integrations with ERP/PLM and external data sources

You should apply if you

Track record: you're an exceptional, hands-on AI/ML engineer who can architect and ship production systems end-to-end (agentic/LLM pipelines, search/RAG, data extraction, ML models)

Engineering foundation: you bring strong software and data engineering skills (Python, APIs, data pipelines, cloud) and can build tooling from scratch

Data wrangling: you've turned messy, unstructured real-world data into structured, queryable intelligence

Leadership: you can lead a small technical team and partner directly with SCM and R&D on high-impact use cases

Education: you hold a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field – or equivalent hands-on experience that speaks louder than the diploma

Languages: you're fluent in English; German is a plus

Nice to haves

Domain knowledge: background in supply chain, procurement, or hardware data, and an understanding of components and BOMs

Agentic systems: experience with autonomous research or scouting agents

Startup mindset: 0-to-1 product experience rather than large-corporate ML teams only

What we offer

Real impact & ownership: Shape high-tech defense systems and take responsibility from day one.

Mission-driven environment: Work on technologies that matter for European security and sovereignty.

Competitive package: Competitive salary, EGYM Wellpass, corporate benefits, and equity options aligned with role and level.

Deep tech environment: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge drone technology and real operational use cases.

Grow fast: Steep learning curve for juniors, strategic influence and leadership opportunities for seniors.

Startup mindset meets defence innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas.

Flexibility: Flexible hours, remote options, and relocation support.

Strong team: International, driven colleagues and a culture built on exchange, trust, and shared success.
