Senior Solutions Engineer / Senior AI Engineer

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Solutions Engineer who will take full ownership of customer projects from conception through deployment. You’ll be the trusted technical partner for our clients, independently managing engagements while building cutting-edge AI-powered applications that deliver measurable business impact.

This role combines deep technical execution with client relationship management. You'll architect and build production-grade software solutions—from web applications and data platforms to intelligent systems that integrate proprietary Spryfox models, orchestrate agentic workflows, and leverage LLMs—while helping our clients unlock new possibilities and growing long-term partnerships. You'll be writing code, deploying to the cloud, and sitting with customers to understand their challenges and craft solutions that work.

Unlike big corporations where AI access is often restricted, at Spryfox we actively encourage using the latest AI technologies in your daily work. We believe staying at the cutting edge isn’t just about what we build for clients; it’s about how we work. This approach dramatically boosts productivity and keeps our team at the forefront of AI innovation.

What You'll Do:

Customer Engagement & Project Leadership

  • Translate complex business challenges into pragmatic AI solutions
  • Build trusted relationships with clients and identify opportunities for account growth
  • Present technical solutions and demonstrations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Occasional travel to client sites in Germany and potentially EU (as needed for project success)

Full-Stack AI Engineering & Deployment

  • Design and build production-ready applications—from web platforms to intelligent systems that integrate AI models (including proprietary Spryfox models), orchestrate agentic pipelines, and implement RAG systems and multi-agent architectures
  • Apply an AI-first mindset to software development, utilizing the latest AI tooling while maintaining code quality and security
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that solves real business problems
  • Deploy and operationalize applications in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and production-ready, then monitor, maintain, and optimize them

Innovation & Growth

  • Stay current with the latest developments in AI/ML and identify opportunities to apply them
  • Contribute to Spryfox’s technical thought leadership through blog posts, conference talks, or technical presentations
  • Share knowledge internally and externally: mentor colleagues and represent Spryfox in the AI community
  • Help grow client accounts by delivering exceptional value and identifying expansion opportunities

What You Bring:

  • Education & experience: Master’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. 5+ years of professional software development experience with demonstrable expertise in building and shipping production applications
  • Strong software development background: Proficiency in Python and modern development practices. You write clean, tested code and understand software architecture principles
  • Technical stack familiarity: Experience with modern Python frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and AI/LLM frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or similar). Comfortable with Docker, containerization, and cloud-native development
  • DevOps expertise: You can deploy, monitor, and maintain applications in the cloud (at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP) and understand infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and production operations
  • AI/ML application development: Hands-on experience building software applications that integrate AI/ML models. You know how to build agentic pipelines, implement RAG systems, and orchestrate complex AI workflows for production use cases
  • AI-first development mindset: You actively leverage AI tools in your development workflow and think critically about how to integrate AI capabilities into software solutions
  • Customer-facing experience: You’ve successfully managed client projects or worked directly with customers in a technical capacity
  • Quality & security consciousness: You write secure code, consider edge cases, and build systems that can be trusted in production
  • Autonomy & ownership: You can take a project from zero to production with minimal supervision
  • Communication skills: You can explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and collaborate effectively across teams
  • Language proficiency: Fluent in English (German is a plus but not required)

Senior / Lead Data Scientist

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who is strong on the fundamentals - properly strong, the kind that survives questioning. Plenty of people can point a model at a column, call fit, read off 94% accuracy and feel done. The work we care about starts at that 94%, with the question of what the number is hiding.

What the work looks like

Our data is mostly tabular, sometimes text, occasionally time series or signal, now and then images. Whatever the modality, it tends to arrive messy, incomplete, biased in ways nobody warned you about, and smaller than you would like. The algorithm is rarely the hard part. The hard part is understanding the data well enough to know which question is even answerable, and being willing to say so when it isn't.

You would own projects end to end - framing the problem with the customer, doing the analysis properly, and standing in front of stakeholders to explain what you found and how much weight it can carry. There is one thing about how we work that matters more than any of this. When something is wrong for a customer, we feel it, and it doesn't let go until it is fixed. Their problem becomes our problem. We don't reach for the contract or the scope to explain why something isn't ours to solve. We want the customer to actually succeed. We are looking for someone wired the same way.

What we're looking for

  • Several years of industrial ML and data science experience. Real projects, real constraints, real stakeholders.

  • Statistical depth you can defend under questioning, without reaching for a hand-wave. You understand uncertainty and how to quantify it. You know what a confidence interval does and does not tell you, and what a p-value actually is - and, more revealingly, what it is not. You can feel the difference between a correlation that means something and one that is an artefact. You know what a hypothesis test assumes, and what quietly breaks when those assumptions don't hold.

  • A meticulous, close to pedantic relationship with your own results. A number that looks too good makes you suspicious rather than pleased. You check before you believe, and you check hardest when the work is your own.

  • The reflex to interrogate data before modelling it - to plot it, ask how it was collected, and notice what is missing or wrong before drawing a single conclusion.

  • Solid Python and the usual ecosystem (scikit-learn, PyTorch or TensorFlow as the problem needs). Comfortable on cloud, AWS in our case.

  • The ability to carry a room - explaining technical reality to business stakeholders in a  way that lands, and caring whether the customer succeeds rather than whether the ticket is closed.

  • Fluent English

How To Apply for the Senior / Lead Data Scientist Role 

For this role, we don't read CVs first. The last time we posted a role we mostly found out who can click apply the fastest, and we would rather find out how people think. So there is no email or application button here.

Instead we invite you into the Den - a short set of hands-on problems that show us how you reason about data and uncertainty. They won't eat your weekend. If you find them interesting, that is already a good sign. Clear them, and then you upload your CV, and it lands with people who are keen to read it.

If that sounds like your kind of front door, come and show us how you think.
