Your focus at x1F
Between a good AI prototype and a reliable production system, there is a lot of engineering. That is exactly the gap you will close at x1F.
As a Senior Expert AI Engineer in our Corporate IT team, you will make sure that AI applications can be operated productively across our internal IT environment. You will build the technical foundation for our internal AI platform, integrate language models and enterprise data, and create the conditions for reliable operations.
This is not about writing individual scripts or building the business solutions yourself. Our AI Builders develop the use cases. You make sure they can become operable solutions and take the technical decisions needed to make that happen.
