• Structured and reliable in your working style - you take ownership of clearly scoped tasks, document your work, and communicate proactively when you hit a blocker
• Proficiency in German and English (written and spoken), allowing you to collaborate in a bilingual team environment

• A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people is on a journey to change the rapidly evolving European AI Landscape
• Experience the best of both worlds with our hybrid work model: You can choose to work from our vibrant offices — either at the IPAI in Heilbronn or the House of Communication in Munich — while also enjoying the flexibility to work remotely a few days each week
• Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses
• An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes
