Do you want to build more than just the next proof of concept? Join us and develop production-ready Generative & Agentic AI solutions that create real impact across a global chemical company.
In our agile AI, Advanced Analytics & Autonomy team, you will drive AI applications that advance Covestro on its path to becoming an AI-powered organisation – from initial idea through to stable production operations. You will work in an interdisciplinary environment with interfaces to R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, internal support functions as well as external partners, vendors and research institutions.
In addition to our wide range of benefits, a full-time position offers an attractive starting salary between €89,400/year and €108,500/year plus a variable component. The starting salary depends on your qualifications and professional experience.
What you will do:
You independently design and implement AI solution architectures for generative & agentic AI use cases – covering both software design and cloud architecture (preferably AWS)
Full ownership of use cases is yours across the entire product lifecycle, from early prototyping and MVP delivery through to stable, production-grade operations
End-to-end, you lead AI projects and drive scoping, prioritisation and trade-off decisions as the primary point of contact for your stakeholders
Proposals from external vendors and consultancies are critically assessed by you, resulting in well-founded recommendations that directly shape how Covestro builds its AI capabilities
You actively co-create the generative AI tech stack and engineering culture at Covestro through communities of practice and hands-on contribution
What you bring:
You hold a completed university degree in computer science, data science or a related field
Solid multi-year professional experience in software engineering and cloud technologies, combined with proven hands-on experience with generative & agentic AI frameworks, runtimes and foundation models
You actively follow developments in the AI landscape and independently translate relevant trends into concrete recommendations
Proven experience leading AI projects end-to-end – including scoping, prioritisation, trade-off decisions and stakeholder management – is part of your track record
Strong business acumen enables you to understand the problem behind the problem and design solutions accordingly
You communicate with confidence across both technical teams and senior non-technical stakeholders
Fluency in written and spoken English completes your profile
