Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Agentic Information Engineer - **Company:** MAGNOTHERM Solutions GmbH - **Location:** Darmstadt, Germany - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Computer-Aided Design, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Automation of Tests, Backup Devices, Databases, DevOps, Disaster Recovery, Design of User Interfaces, Identity and Access Management, IT Management, Python (Programming Language), Key Management, Laboratory Information Management Systems, Linux System Administration, Open Source Technology, Test Data, TypeScript, Web Applications, Sysadmin, Large Language Models, Grafana, Build Management, Odoo, Figma, Network Server, Data Pipelines, Docker - **Published:** August 7, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=a1d512b50bd35599 ## About the Role * Software generalist: strong Python and/or TypeScript, full-stack comfort (simple web apps, APIs, databases), 4+ years building real systems - internal tools, platform, DevOps, or product. * Demonstrated agentic engineering: you've built agents that do real work - LLM APIs, tool use / function calling, at least one agent framework (Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, or similar), and you can explain your eval and guardrail approach. A portfolio outweighs any certificate. * Context/knowledge engineering: RAG over messy real-world documents, vector/hybrid retrieval, and ideally MCP server experience (scarce in the market - show us one you built). * Linux system administration: servers, containers (Docker), networking, backup strategy, user/access management. Comfort being the last line of defense when something is down. * Self-hosting and open-source fluency: you've deployed and lived with tools like ERPNext/Odoo, Outline/Wiki.js, Nextcloud, Grafana, or similar - and you know when self-hosting is a trap. * Security fundamentals: least-privilege access, secrets management, and specifically agent security - scoping what an autonomous agent may touch, treating agents like employees with credentials. * Working style: autonomous, product-minded toward internal customers, and able to explain technical decisions to non-software engineers. English language skills (C1+) and German language skills (C1+). Nice to have * Local LLM deployment (vLLM/Ollama, quantization, GPU server operation). * UI/UX design competence beyond "makes it work" - Figma, design systems, information architecture. * Experience as an early or solo IT/platform hire at a startup, or a homelab that got out of hand. ## Description * Agentic toolchain (core mandate). Design and build the company's internal tool suite - PDM/BOM and engineering-change management, knowledge base, procurement & inventory, controlling & budgeting, test- and quality-data traceability with per-unit records, hiring pipeline, CRM, project & program tracking, asset & lab management with calibration schedules, and time & resource planning - as open-source + custom builds, developed with and operated by AI agents. Build-not-buy is the explicit company decision; you make it viable. * Company knowledge as a system. Structure our documentation, engineering data, and decisions so LLMs can use them: RAG pipelines, MCP servers over internal systems, and custom agents/assistants the whole team queries daily. You own knowledge continuity - what we learn must outlive any single laptop or head. * Infrastructure & IT. Classic sysadmin scope, run agentically: servers, networking, identity & access management, endpoint management, backups and disaster recovery, security - including an on-prem server as well as external resources for LLM inference. You are the human accountable for access control and production changes; agents do the routine work. * Engineering-team leverage. Streamline the toolchains our engineers build and use - test-bench data pipelines, automated test reporting, live rig-telemetry dashboards, and simulation batch workflows. Harden the quick tools engineers write into maintained ones. * Enablement. Every engineer gets an LLM budget; you make it pay off. Run internal training, build playbooks and shared agent configurations, and raise the whole team's agentic-engineering baseline. * UX of internal tools. Internal tools people hate don't get used. You apply our design system and basic UX craft so the tools you ship are ones a production technician actually opens., * Exposure to hardware-company data and workflows: CAD/PDM, BOMs and engineering changes, procurement and inventory, test data and per-unit traceability, ERP concepts. * Teaching/enablement experience - workshops, internal docs, developer advocacy. What makes this role unusual * Founding scope: responsibilities that are normally split across IT leadership, platform engineering, and AI enablement sit in one role - with the authority that comes from owning all three. * You define the discipline: there is no playbook for an agentic one-person information backbone; you write it, and it becomes how the company operates. * Leverage as the KPI: your success is measured in how much faster everyone else moves, not in tickets closed. As a startup, we value ownership, pragmatism, and a willingness to go where there's no playbook. This role is for people who love turning a blank page into a system the whole company relies on. What you will get from the job * Flexible hours and 30 days of vacation. * Compensation aligned with startup standards, with room to grow as the company scales. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Recruitment Reinvented: Bold strategies and the $10K signing incentive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1068-recruitment-reinvented-bold-strategies-and-the-10k-signing-incentive) - [Agentic AI: building autonomous systems for developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100034-agentic-ai-building-autonomous-systems-for-developers) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering)
