Role Overview Own the end-to-end design, build, and production rollout of agentic AI solutions that automate knowledge work—starting with SAP-consultant tasks, proposal generation, and data preparation. You’ll deliver measurable savings within 12 months, then scale a small specialist team around the winning agents. Responsibilities: Design and build agents using Python along with the best mix of open-source libraries or frameworks (e.g., CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, llama-index), or entirely custom code where needed. Incorporate browser automation (Playwright/Selenium) and computer vision/OCR (OpenCV, Tesseract). Handle data and integrations: connect REST/GraphQL APIs, vector stores, and RAG pipelines with security guardrails. Measure and optimize: define and track KPIs such as cost savings, turnaround time, and consultant utilization; iterate to hit targets. MLOps/DevOps: containerize, deploy, and monitor agents using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines; schedule retraining. Lead and manage a team: hire, mentor, and manage 2–4 engineers (prompt-ops, CV, full-stack) once MVP agents meet KPIs. Minimum Qualifications 6+ years in AI/ML, automation, or conversational AI engineering. 2+ years building multi-step or multi-agent LLM solutions. Expert-level Python skills and deep understanding of open-source AI tooling. Proven experience delivering computer vision/OCR solutions interpreting GUIs or documents. Browser automation experience using Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent. Demonstrated success in defining and achieving business-outcome KPIs. Experience leading small technical teams in agile environments. Nice to Have Familiarity with SAP APIs or SAP BTP (not required but a bonus). Experience with at least one cloud AI stack (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex/Gemini). Benefits Flexible working hours. This is a fully remote role – you can work from anywhere in the world. This position reports directly to the CEO.
