Knowledge of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) that allow AI agents to monitor and operate hardware through a common interface is a plus. * Regular use of AI-assisted development tools in your daily work, such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot * Excellent communication skills in both English and German (C1 level) What we offer * Bonus/Commission * Local benefits * Referral Program * Volunteer Day * Internal Academy (QIALearn) * Employee Assistance Program * Hybrid work (conditional to your role) Our people are the heartbeat of everything we do.
