Your tasks

Together with the team, you identify AI potentials, conduct feasibility studies and develop viable solutions for specialist departments and internal teams.
You independently develop AI applications (e.g. mail assistant or log management) using PyTorch and Python, for example, and bring them into productive operation.
The design and implementation of RAG systems, system prompts, guardrails as well as the integration of MCP servers are part of your responsibilities.
In close cross-team collaboration with IT security, network and platform teams, you ensure that AI services are provided securely, performantly and in a standardised manner.
You work closely with IT architecture, introduce modern approaches in the field of AI and support requirement engineering around GenAI.
Testing workflows and LLMs, evaluating new models and contributing to best practices and governance topics complete your range of tasks - as an enabler and driver of AI in DIIN.

Your profile

Sound knowledge of Python and ideally experience with PyTorch as well as modern LLM frameworks distinguish you.
You bring practical experience in dealing with LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases and prompt engineering; knowledge of MCP, agent frameworks or guardrails is a plus.
You are enthusiastic about modern AI and platform topics and have a good understanding of IT security, network, virtual server environments and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) as well as ideally GPU workloads or MLOps.
A structured, solution-oriented way of working as well as enjoyment in collaborating with internal teams (security, network, platform, architecture, IAM) and external partners complete your profile.
In addition to training in the IT field, you have several years of professional experience in a comparable role (e.g. AI engineering, data science, platform engineering) and very good German skills in spoken and written form (understanding Swiss German).
