• Passion for continuous learning, innovation, and contributing to high-performing teams
• Experience in developing a governance framework to ensure compliance with all legal requirements

• Opportunity to shape a variety of projects and the development of new, original content based on the latest developments in AI and its adoption in businesses
• An atmosphere that encourages to think and experiment in new ways with software, hardware, and processes
• Hottest topics of the next decade and freedom and trust to initiate own activities
