Forward deployed AI engineer for LLM applications

Sportradar is a sports data and technology company. As Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you work like an internal consultant: you are placed in a department or business unit, talk with the people there, find the real problems, cut through complexity, simplify how work is done, and then build and ship LLM and agent-based solutions. You work largely independently with little day-to-day supervision, find your way through organisational complexity and competing priorities to get things done, and learn fast. Senior engineers are available for guidance.

• Identify problems worth solving and break unclear or cluttered situations into clear, manageable steps.
• Streamline and simplify processes, and propose where an AI solution makes sense and where it does not.
• Work with several stakeholders and competing priorities, and keep your work moving pragmatically.
• Build, test and deploy LLM-powered applications and agents, from prototype to production.
• Implement retrieval (RAG), tool integrations, prompts and context handling.
• Build and run evaluations (test sets, automated checks, quality dashboards) and use the results to improve solutions.
• Build and maintain data pipelines that feed these systems.
• Plan your own work, give regular updates and document solutions.
