  • Share your knowledge and continue developing – you will both contribute to and benefit from professional development in AI & Machine Learning
  • Prototype and develop additional AI tools for client projects and CMS-related use cases
  • Help identify AI potential within the company and integrate it into client projects

  • Experience with Open Source technologies and a passion for collaborative software development
  • Programming skills in Python (or a comparable language)

  • Experience using AI tools to create and optimize content

  • Flexible working hours (30 to 38.5 hours/week, depending on your preference)
  • The chance to work on exciting projects for amazing clients: WWF, Doctors Without Borders, UN, BMVIT, Global 2000, ProSiebenSat.1, PULS4, University of Vienna, and more
  • Continued professional development and support – we invest in your growth and give you the chance to attend international developer conferences with us
