## About the Role

* Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Linguistics, or a related field - or equivalent professional experience with a track record we can inspect.
 * Strong Python, with production experience in the web stack. Comfortable with relational databases, containers, and git-based workflows.
 * Demonstrated engineering discipline: tests, documentation, code review, deployment. A public repository or comparable evidence of how you build.
 * Working knowledge of LLM-based systems: retrieval, evaluation, prompt and context design. Familiarity with NLP pipelines is a plus.
 * Commitment to open-source principles.
 * Ability to work independently and within an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and editors.
 * Excellent written and spoken English. German at B2 level or above, or a clear commitment to reaching it.

How we work

We build with coding agents to various degrees. Claude Code, Codex, and comparable tools are part of the normal workflow, and we expect you to know when to use them, and to use them well: designing context, writing specifications an agent can follow, reviewing generated code critically, and building the harnesses and evaluation loops around them. Deep prior experience with these tools is not required, but we expect an open mind and willingness to learn., If you have obtained a university degree abroad, we will require further documents from you regarding the comparability of your degree by the time you start work at the latest. Please request the Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications as early as possible.

## Description

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

The project 'AI-enabled Quality Control and User Guidance for Public Health Communication' develops next-generation, transparent, and ethically responsible AI tools for public health communication in the age of generative AI.

Search engines increasingly generate AI-based summaries directly from trusted sources such as diabinfo.de without users visiting the original site. This threatens the visibility, verifiability, and perceived quality of public health information. Our mission is to build open-source technologies that preserve reliability and reach, ensuring that high-quality medical information remains measurable, verifiable, and accessible to everyone., * Develop and deploy web-based tools and CMS plugins that bring large language models into editorial workflows.

 * Keep deployed systems robust, low-latency, and maintainable: tests, CI, containers, monitoring.
 * Translate the needs of editorial, clinical, and research partners into technical decisions.
