appliedAI Initiative

ÜBER UNS The appliedAI Initiative elevates Europe’s industry to become shapers in the age of AI, creating a future that we desire to live in. Through our ecosystem of strong partners, comprehensive programs, services and solutions we advance companies holistically on their AI journey. With our uniquely diverse, interdisciplinary, and driven team, we build on deep technical expertise while specializing on applicability of the solutions. We share a mindset of collaboration and openness with our ecosystem of leading companies and tech players. Our common goal is to strengthen the European landscape, jointly creating unique knowledge for applying trustworthy AI. We believe that AI Agents will be the dominant topic for AI in the near future and that appliedAI with its partner ecosystem will impact how this technology is being used in industry and beyond in Europe. DEINE AUFGABEN appliedAI’s Internal AI team sits at the heart of how we bring AI into the real world — keeping the infrastructure that powers our internal tools and partner-facing AI products running reliably and at scale. As a working student (m/f/x), you’ll join a small team of experienced engineers who care deeply about operational quality and are happy to share what they know. This is a hands-on role where you’ll build practical intuition for production AI systems while contributing meaningfully from day one. Your tasks will include: * Support the operation of containerized model-serving systems (Docker Compose) across staging and GPU clusters (H100 and V100) * Monitor system health, inspect logs, and help troubleshoot issues in collaboration with platform engineers * Assist with deployment workflows using GitLab CI/CD, including staging validation and controlled rollouts * Support the LiteLLM routing layer and help maintain model endpoints (chat, reasoning, embedding, speech APIs) * Run API and integration tests to ensure OpenAI-compatible behavior across services * Contribute to monitoring and observability by maintaining Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alerting rules DEIN PROFIL * Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field * Solid Python skills and practical experience with software development or infrastructure projects * Hands-on experience with Linux, Docker, and Docker Compose * Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and GitLab CI * Strong curiosity about LLM systems, AI infrastructure, or MLOps; interest in observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana * Careful and responsible mindset when working with production systems; strong communication skills in English, German is a plus DEINE VORTEILE * A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people is on a journey to change the rapidly evolving European AI Landscape * Experience the best of both worlds with our hybrid work model: You can choose to work from our vibrant offices - either at the IPAI in Heilbronn or the House of Communication in Munich - while also enjoying the flexibility to work remotely a few days each week * Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses * An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes * A highly visible initiative that helps you build a large and high-level network of start-ups, partners, and tech companies * Sports membership with Wellpass to access thousands of sports facilities all over Germany (and beyond), as well as online courses KONTAKT Lucas Fernandes - Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist appliedAI Initiative GmbH, August-Everding-Str. 25, 81671 München

DEINE AUFGABEN The Internal AI team is on a mission to make appliedAI itself smarter - building the agent-driven automation layer that lets our colleagues hand off repetitive cognitive work and focus on what only humans can do. As a working student (m/f/x), you’ll join a team that ships to real internal users in short cycles, working closely with colleagues across the organization from discovery through to delivery. It’s a hands-on role with genuine ownership: you’ll see your work go from prototype to production within weeks. Your tasks will include: * Support process discovery sessions with internal teams - help map workflows, document decision points, and identify automation opportunities * Assist in building and maintaining n8n workflows that connect agents to Slack and other business systems * Contribute to developing Python services and LangGraph agents for stateful tasks involving tool usage, structured outputs, and multi-step reasoning * Help connect agents to appliedAI’s LLM APIs and external systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and standard authentication patterns * Support the implementation of production best practices - error handling, retries, logging, and observability - to ensure reliable operation * Collaborate in iterative development cycles, from prototype to pilot to production-ready template DEIN PROFIL * Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Business Informatics, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field * Solid Python skills with practical experience building applications, scripts, or automation projects * Genuine interest in how organizations and business processes work — not just writing code * Basic understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, and Git-based collaborative development * Experience with workflow automation platforms (Make, Zapier) or agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain); familiarity with AI development tooling such as Claude Code, MCP, or Langfuse is a bonus * Strong communication skills in English; German is a plus DEINE VORTEILE * A highly qualified and motivated team of ~90 people is on a journey to change the rapidly evolving European AI Landscape * Experience the best of both worlds with our hybrid work model: You can choose to work from our vibrant offices - either at the IPAI in Heilbronn or the House of Communication in Munich - while also enjoying the flexibility to work remotely a few days each week * Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses * An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes * A highly visible initiative that helps you build a large and high-level network of start-ups, partners, and tech companies * Sports membership with Wellpass to access thousands of sports facilities all over Germany (and beyond), as well as online courses KONTAKT Lucas Fernandes - Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist appliedAI Initiative GmbH, August-Everding-Str. 25, 81671 München
