Ready to build the future? *Join BLP Digital today.* **About the position** We're giving you the keys to the machine. As our Applied AI Engineer, you'll have a founder-level mandate to build and ship AI-powered internal tools that make our hiring, finance and ops workflows 10x faster — not 10% faster. You'll work at the frontier of what's possible with LLMs, AI agents, and emerging AI tooling, and apply it where it matters most: inside our own company. **Key Responsibilities** - Build and ship AI-powered internal tools fast — we're talking days and weeks, not quarters - Evaluate, integrate, and chain the latest AI models, APIs, and frameworks (LLMs, agent frameworks, embedding pipelines, AI coding tools) into production-ready internal solutions - Create compounding leverage — every tool you build should free up hours across the entire company - Write clean, maintainable code that integrates with our existing systems — APIs, databases, third-party services — and doesn't break at scale - Own your deployments end-to-end: build it, test it, ship it, monitor it — and build it well enough that it runs reliably without babysitting **Requirements** - Technical background with real building experience — CS degree, bootcamp, self-taught, we don't care as long as you've shipped things that work - You've built with modern AI tooling (LLMs, AI coding assistants, workflow automation) and you're obsessed with what's coming next - Startup or entrepreneurial DNA — you've either founded something, built an internal tool that became critical infra, or hacked together solutions that people actually used - You move fast, communicate clearly, and love collaborating with non-technical teams to understand their pain points and turn them into elegant, automated solutionsFluency in English, German is a plus - Bonus: experience with tools like Make, n8n, Retool, Supabase, or similar — but honestly, we care more about your ability to learn any tool in a weekend **Benefits** - **Solve real problems, fast.** Join a high-growth deep-tech startup tackling real-world challenges for global industry leaders. - **Build from zero to one**. Take ownership of our internal tooling landscape — shaping its foundations and direction from the ground up. - **Opportunities to grow.** You're controlling your personal development and career trajectory in a rapidly growing, internationally expanding startup - **Exceptional colleagues.** You'll be growing alongside individuals from exceptional academic backgrounds and careers
