AI Transformation Engineer (m/f/d)

Location: DE-Landau in der Pfalz / DE-Remote

Company: AMDT

Employment Type: Full-time

Role Overview

This is how we work – please read carefully

This role is not for everyone, and that’s intentional. To help you assess if it’s a good fit for you:

• There is no ready-made list of use cases. You build your own pipeline – through conversations, observations, and curiosity about the work of others. You assess and prioritize what you find yourself.
• You will say ‘no’ more often than ‘yes’. Many wishes for use cases turn out to be too expensive, too risky, or simply a process problem that doesn’t require AI. You need to be able to recognize this, justify it, and politely stand your ground – without damaging relationships with departments.
• Consulting is half the job. You negotiate, moderate workshops, look over colleagues’ shoulders while they work, and document processes no one has ever written down. Only then does development begin. Those who see this part as an annoying prerequisite to writing code will not be happy here.
• Not everyone is happy about your arrival. Some colleagues see AI as a threat to their job, others simply don’t have time for you, and in some processes, inefficiency is someone’s favorite routine. You take these concerns seriously, not dismissively – and on sensitive topics, you collaborate proactively and openly with data protection, IT security, and management, rather than bypassing them.
• Every team member acts very autonomously. You set your own standards and critically review your own results before anyone else does. There is, of course, an exchange of ideas and feedback – but ensuring the quality of your work starts with you.
• You are the expert in your domain. Our innovation team is deliberately interdisciplinary, with minimal overlap between disciplines. You have frontend, backend, and UX specialists when a use case grows into something larger – but AI transformation is your domain, and you bear the professional responsibility for it.
• We ourselves work with AI support – consistently. Tools like Claude Code or Cursor are business as usual for us, not an experiment. Those who bring AI-supported work to other departments must lead by example – and know where the boundaries are. This shifts the focus of work: typing less yourself, formulating problems more precisely, and critically checking results before anyone else uses them.
• Weekly free hours are enshrined – about 10% of your working time. Time for professional development, your own ideas, and creative exchange is part of the work week here, not a “nice-to-have” that evaporates in daily business.
• Result-oriented and process-flexible. We need fast, pragmatic solutions that work in everyday life – not 100% systems polished for months. If a use case grows into a product, you hand it over to our innovation or R&D team.
• This role requires presence. Use cases are often found not via video calls, but by observation, hallway conversations, at colleagues’ desks. Plan regular time in Landau (approx. 10-20% of working time, especially at the beginning – more).

If you expect to be told where the problem is, you won’t be happy here. Colleagues often don’t realize themselves that there is a problem or potential for increased efficiency – recognizing precisely that is the core of this role. If this appeals to you: read on.

Your Tasks

• Proactively identify AI use cases within the company: get to know departments and their processes, identify inefficiencies and potential, develop ideas together with the business units.
• Honestly evaluate use cases: benefits, costs, feasibility, privacy risks, and ethical risks – and based on this, prioritize what will be implemented and what won’t.
• Pragmatically implement solutions: automate workflows, develop internal tools, build LLM-powered applications, integrate AI APIs – using the tool that fits the problem.
• Integrate solutions into everyday life: accompany the rollout, empower colleagues, gather feedback, and iterate.
• Prepare, moderate, and document discussions and workshops with business units – including collecting process data that didn’t exist before (observation, simple process documentation).
• Manage expectations: clarify what a solution can and cannot do before it is built.
• Empower colleagues: conduct training and provide support, engage key employees in departments, foster internal exchange on AI.
• Structurally hand over larger or more product-like use cases to the innovation or R&D team.
• Present results and recommendations to business units and management – at the appropriate technical level of your counterpart.

Your Profile

• Many years of practical experience in developing software solutions – you are and remain someone who builds themselves.
• Hands-on experience building GenAI applications: LLM APIs, Prompt Engineering, RAG – ideally in solutions that real users use in their daily lives.
• A broad set of tools rather than a single specialization: C# .NET, Python, automation and integration tools, AI APIs – you pragmatically choose what fits.
• Experience in collaboratively developing requirements with business units – e.g., from consulting, solution engineering, requirements management, or similar roles.
• A good overview of current trends, available off-the-shelf solutions, and new developments in AI – you know when to build and when to buy.
• Very good command of German and English – the team language is German, but you will also need full confidence in English when communicating with colleagues in our international branches.
• Primarily working from home, with regular presence at our headquarters in Landau (approx. 10-20% of working time).

Must Have

• Hands-on experience building GenAI applications: LLM APIs, Prompt Engineering, RAG – ideally in solutions that real users use in their daily lives.
• Experience in collaboratively developing requirements with business units – e.g., from consulting, solution engineering, requirements management, or similar roles.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data preparation and pipelines (ETL/ELT).
• Experience with change management or training colleagues.
• Workshop moderation experience.
• Experience working in a business function outside of IT – support, sales, service, or administration. Those who have worked in such processes themselves recognize potential faster.

Does this sound like you?

• You listen first before offering solutions – and can quickly immerse yourself in the work worlds, processes, and tools of others. You ask the question nobody expects, not the one that fits your solution.
• You build trust, even with skeptics. People tell you about detours and workarounds they would never show their boss – because you handle it confidentially and never put anyone on the spot.
• You navigate confidently between worlds. You speak differently with support than with development, and differently than with management – and all three feel understood.
• You know how to say ‘no’ without closing doors – and admit failure, even if you’ve already invested effort.
• You have a good sense of proportion – you build the solution the problem requires, not the most technically possible one. And you understand when the best solution is no AI at all.
• You are persistent when it gets uncomfortable. After the rollout comes the difficult part: colleagues revert to old patterns, feedback comes late or not at all. You ask, rather than considering the topic closed.
• You tolerate frustration. Deadlines slip, use cases die after weeks of work, departments don’t have time for you. You don’t take it personally.
• An open eye for deficits and potential, both technical and organizational.
