Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who instinctively questions the data before trusting the model. Someone who sees an unexpectedly high accuracy score as the beginning of the investigation rather than the end of it.

We’re supporting a growing AI & Data Science company in Darmstadt that partners with customers across healthcare, insurance, finance, energy and manufacturing to solve complex real-world problems. Every project is different, giving you the opportunity to tackle genuinely interesting technical challenges rather than building the same product repeatedly.

You’ll work directly with customers, taking projects from problem definition through to deployment and presenting your findings to senior stakeholders. It’s a role with genuine ownership, where technical quality matters far more than chasing the latest AI trend.
