AI Software Engineer (f/m/d)

Aleph Alpha Research's mission is to deliver category-defining AI innovation that enables open, accessible, and trustworthy deployment of GenAI in industrial applications. Our organization develops foundational models and next-generation methods that make it easy and affordable for Aleph Alpha's customers to increase productivity in finance, administration, R&D, logistics, and manufacturing processes. We are hiring to grow our org with offices in Heidelberg, Germany, and are looking for well-rounded, experienced AI Software Engineers with experience in DevOps/MLOps. As an AI Software Engineer in Aleph Alpha Research, you help the research teams take model and algorithm development to the next level. You own significant portions of the research infrastructure, including the pipelines related to data processing, our testing infrastructure, and engineering-heavy parts of our distributed training software. You also contribute your software engineering experience to research projects that have a significant influence on our ability to deliver novel category-defining AI capabilities. As part of our Infrastructure and Platform Engineering Team, you maintain and develop cluster infrastructure, manage cloud infrastructure, build and manage DevOps and MLOps pipelines, implement SE best practices (CI/CD, monitoring, testing frameworks), and collaborate and co-develop with our Data Center Infrastructure Team as well as Product Teams on shared platform components or projects. In our Data Engineering and Distributed Training Team, you engineer and optimize data processing pipelines, develop and maintain components of distributed training software, and build and maintain infrastructure and support for data-heavy tasks. As part of our Research SE Teams, you work alongside Researchers and other SW Engineers on model and algorithm development, collaborate on ablation studies, Proof of Concepts (POCs), and model optimizations. You create robust, maintainable codebases that support efficient transition of new technologies and R&D artifacts from research to production, and co-own efforts that aim to make parts of our code source available to the broader research community.
