The Opportunity
We are hiring an Expert AI Infrastructure & Frontier Models to drive the Build phase. Your job: create the formats and support structures that let founders and hubs turn academic breakthroughs into frontier AI solutions and the next generation of AI companies - across key hubs and their partner institutions.
Concretely, you build the formats that:
- Lower the barriers to infrastructure, inference, data, and evaluation, and
- Spark innovation around frontier models and platforms.
This is a deliberate hybrid role, and we want to be honest about that up front. It joins two profiles that rarely coexist in a single person:
- The deep technical judgment on large-scale AI infrastructure to build and run frontier AI models (pre- and post-training, inference, data engineering, evaluation,...)
- The instinct to strategically build solutions with ecosystem partners that help researchers and founders to overcome the hurdles
- Drive hub collaboration: align technical leads across the hubs and lead flagship projects that catalyze real, cross-border cooperation.
- Shape frontier model development: Define approaches to frontier model development with partners and founders that address the current challenges.
- Build the open innovation layer: create sandboxes, APIs and formats so the next wave of builders starts faster.
- Enable future founders and startups: design the education and support formats that help teams scale models, data and compute into products.
- Map and improve the landscape: continuously analyze the compute, data, model architectures, training approaches and evaluation resources across the Triangle and close the gaps.
- Coordinate compute access: secure fair, workable access across STACKIT, ALPS, KI Service-Centers, and cloud providers for founders and startups.
- Steer data and evaluation: manage shared training-data access, develop sector-specific benchmarks, and scale evaluation know-how across the network.
- Technical depth: you are a senior expert in ML training and infrastructure – from data to pre- and post-trainiang, inference, MLOps, and cloud.
- Credibility and network: you have the standing to build trust with leading universities, entrepreneurship centers, and high-growth startups, and to be taken seriously as a peer.
- Strategic clarity: you turn complex infrastructure challenges into strategies that work across an entire ecosystem.
- Bridge-building: you connect deep-tech research with applied technology, build trusted relationships with founders and partners, and spar with them on hard decisions - with empathy and clarity.
- Languages: fluent German and English, written and spoken.
- Direct work with world-class researchers, leading universities,
and the next generation of deep-tech startups - Hands-on involvement with frontier compute, such as ALPS and STACKIT,
to power next-generation models - Real room for ownership, creativity, and strategic influence
- An experienced, open-minded team with flat hierarchies
- Flexible working hours and remote-work options
- A generous budget for internal and external training, Wellpass & monthly mobility budget
