The mission
You lead the technical engine room behind large-scale AEO outcomes. Rather than guessing why a model cites a source, you investigate retrieval behavior and optimize knowledge structures so authoritative client data is consistently preferred.
Key responsibilities

- Build proprietary AEO stress tests to measure model-temperature effects on brand attribution and mention consistency.
- Guide technical delivery standards for reliability, security, and GDPR compliance across enterprise deployments.
- Mentor engineers and set best practices for evaluation pipelines, observability, and model-facing data quality.
Qualifications
- MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or a related discipline.
- Expert-level Python and hands-on experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, or similar).
- Deep practical knowledge of transformer-based architectures and retrieval optimization.
Compensation
EUR 130,000 - EUR 175,000 + performance bonus.
Benefits
- Work with a senior team.
- Flexible schedule.
- High ownership and fast feedback.
