We're building a new team at the intersection of AI and automotive software engineering and we're looking for a senior technical leader to shape it from the ground up.

What awaits you:

Build up a current dedicated team and drive its technical direction — bringing agentic AI systems into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) for BMW vehicles. This is not about incremental tooling improvements — it's about pioneering an AI-first approach to how automotive software is built.

Specifically, you will:

- Design, build, and operate multi-agent systems and agentic workflows (LLM orchestration, tool-use agents, autonomous coding pipelines)
- Build the scaffolding that makes agents productive — test infrastructure, CI/CD feedback loops, machine-readable codebases, and architectural guardrails
- Deploy and run these systems in cloud-native environments at scale
- Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity across the SDLC
- Ensure AI system quality — evaluation frameworks, guardrails, output validation, and responsible AI practices
- Pioneer the transformation toward an AI-first SDLC
- Collaborate closely with teams in Munich to align on strategy and architecture

What you bring:





- Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex), tool-use protocols (e.g., MCP), and AI system design at production scale
- Strong software engineering background — you drive systems from concept to production
- Familiarity with cloud-native toolchains (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC)
- Experience leading technical teams (5+ years in senior/lead roles)
- Experience with MLOps and AI security in enterprise environments is a strong plus
- Automotive and large-scale enterprise experience is a plus
- You believe AI will fundamentally change how we build software — and you have the pioneer mindset to make it happen

Why this role:

- Greenfield team build — you shape the technical foundations from day one
- Drive the future of how BMW develops software
- Work at the frontier of agentic AI in an enterprise-scale engineering organization
- International engineering culture — close collaboration with BMW Group engineering hubs and the leverage for impact across large engineering organizations
