Working Student: AI Engineer, Agentic Systems (m/f/d)

This five-month position at Retorio in Munich involves approximately twenty hours of weekly work focused on developing production-ready agentic systems. The role centers on designing, deploying, and scaling multi-step reasoning engines that serve enterprise clients, rather than creating simple demonstrations. Daily activities include building backend services, managing database schemas, and implementing streaming interfaces to support real-time conversation capabilities. You will also handle DevOps responsibilities by containerizing applications, managing deployments on Google Cloud Platform, and debugging live production incidents. The work requires a rigorous research approach where every engineering change is treated as a hypothesis that must be validated through measurement and evaluation. Candidates should be proficient in Python and familiar with concepts like tool calling, memory management, and retrieval systems. The advert does not specify particular prior experience levels, academic qualifications, or language requirements for this position. It also does not state whether the role is remote, hybrid, or office-based, nor does it define specific shift patterns. This opportunity suits individuals who enjoy owning the full lifecycle of AI features, from initial design to performance optimization and cost management.
