About the role

• AI Software Engineer training program focusing on product development and modern AI tools in a hybrid setting. Involves mentorship and practical team simulations to prepare for the tech industry.

Responsibilities

• From developer to co-creator: As AI takes over repetitive coding tasks, your strategic influence on product development grows.
• You learn to analyze business models and user needs, formulate hypotheses, and translate your insights into roadmaps and product-focused backlogs.
• Architecture & responsibility in the AI era: You develop software that not only works but is structured and sustainable long-term — based on established architectural principles and modern patterns.
• You identify risks associated with using AI, monitor its decisions, and keep an eye on costs, API limits, and system performance.
• AI-supported development & deployment: You use modern AI tools to build stable prototypes or full MVPs, automate testing, and deploy safely.
• You keep track of AI decisions — from quality and compliance with your requirements to observability in live operations.
• Orchestrate AI as a team member: You use AI strategically within the team, develop agents for various tasks, and orchestrate their collaboration. You automate workflows and integrate company data using established frameworks like LangChain or MCP — delivering real AI features that add value.

Requirements

• You have solid knowledge of modern software development.
• You are curious, ambitious, and actively seek opportunities for professional growth.
• You enjoy agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and like working in a team.
• You can empathize with users and stakeholders and understand how to think about technical solutions from a product perspective.
• You are willing to dive into complex, fast-evolving topics such as AI development and agentic workflows.
• You don't stand still: changes in the tech stack and new tools motivate you rather than unsettle you.
• You enjoy thinking beyond the obvious and taking on both technical and product-strategic responsibility.

Benefits

• We will train you to become an AI Software Engineer within 3 months, delivered remotely/online.
• We support you in finding a company during the training that can offer you an entry-level position during or after the bootcamp.
• The program can be completed alongside your job.
• You will receive a mentor who guides you through the program and you will simulate working in product teams.
• After three months, you can join product teams as a certified AI Software Engineer.
• You will receive a certificate, all course materials, and access to a broad network.
• We recommend a German language level of B2 for the course.
