Jamie Coltman
Posted
1 month ago

As the Engineering Lead for AI & Automation, you will take a pioneering role in defining how our company harnesses automation and artificial intelligence. You’ll build and lead a new engineering function from the ground up — driving end-to-end automation initiatives through a combination of proven technologies and emerging AI- and agent-based solutions. Collaborating closely with teams across the organization, you’ll design and deliver systems that enhance efficiency, unlock innovation, and enable smarter ways of working.

Key Responsibilities

People Leadership

  • Build and scale a high-performing team of engineers and AI specialists focused on automation and intelligent systems.
  • Define team structure, roles, and hiring strategy to support long-term growth.
  • Recruit, onboard, and retain top engineering talent.
  • Conduct regular 1:1s, give constructive feedback, and mentor team members for professional growth.
  • Cultivate a diverse, collaborative, and inclusive team culture.
 

Technical & Project Leadership

  • Identify and prioritize automation opportunities across business operations and engineering workflows.
  • Evaluate, select, and integrate the latest AI and automation tools to maintain a strong technological edge.
  • Design and implement scalable automation systems using RPA, workflow orchestration, and LLM-driven agent architectures.
  • Ensure technical excellence through code reviews, documentation, testing, and thoughtful design discussions.
  • Lead project delivery through clear planning, prioritization, and communication with stakeholders.
  • Partner with business, operations, and engineering teams to embed automation within existing processes and platforms.

Your Profile

Essential Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least 2–3 years in a leadership role.
  • Strong technical foundation in software development, process automation, and applied AI/ML.
  • Hands-on experience with automation technologies (e.g., RPA platforms, workflow orchestration) and modern AI systems (e.g., LLMs, agent frameworks).
  • Proficient in Python, with the ability to prototype and deliver production-quality automation or AI solutions.
  • Proven leadership and communication skills with the ability to inspire, align, and grow engineering teams.
  • Experience managing projects, prioritizing effectively, and delivering high-quality results in agile environments.
  • Track record of evaluating and integrating third-party automation or AI tools.
  • Fluent in English; German language skills are a plus.
  • Valid work permit for Germany or the EU.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — ideally with experience in a startup, research, or innovation-focused environment.
  • Deep passion for transforming the way people work through AI and automation.

 

Bonus Skills

  • Familiarity with quantum technologies or adjacent emerging tech domains.
