Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Research Software Engineer in Biomedical AI for Public Health Communication - **Company:** Helmholtz Zentrum München GmbH - **Location:** Oberschleißheim, Germany (Remote available) - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Code Review, Computational Linguistics, Relational Databases, Python (Programming Language), Open Source Technology, Software Engineering, Large Language Models, Git Flow, Search Engines - **Published:** August 10, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=614db98a712779b0 ## 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. * Interest in translational AI, responsible innovation, and the societal impact of the systems you build., 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. ## 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. You will join an interdisciplinary collaboration between the at Helmholtz Munich, the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD), and the German Diabetes Center (DDZ)-linking cutting-edge AI development with editorial and clinical expertise. We are looking for a confident and experienced software engineer (f/m/x). You own the systems: you design them, ship them, and keep them running in production. You will work alongside a PhD researcher and the diabinfo.de editorial team, but the technical decisions are yours to make and defend. Everything we build is open source from the first commit. You will not be asked to write papers, though you are welcome to co-author where it makes sense., * 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., 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 fulfill all the requirements, you may be eligible for a salary grade of up to E 13. Social benefits are based on the Collective Wage Agreement for Public-Sector Employees (TVöD). The position has an (initial) fixed term of 2 years but may be extended under certain circumstances. Managing Director Mike Frieser: "We believe that diversity is the key to groundbreaking research and innovative solutions. Our flexible working models and remote options create a supportive environment for balancing work and family life. For us, contributing to a healthier society in such an inspiring workplace is truly meaningful." ## Related Videos - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Europe's Digital Future: How to Get from User to Shaper?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100027-europe-s-digital-future-how-to-get-from-user-to-shaper) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
