Senior AI Engineer - International

Creating a future worth living for future generations gets us out of bed every morning. Depending on the project, we are consultants, implementers, or both for sustainable, innovative and economical solutions for real estate, industry, energy and infrastructure. Our more than 6,000 employees at 63 locations worldwide support our customers in interdisciplinary teams. Our thinking is both visionary and realistic. We work independently and as part of a team. With passion and the latest technologies. We unite. Join us at Dreso and let’s create a world we want to live in.

Do you want to not only understand AI, but also build it yourself, from the initial idea to its productive use?

Become part of the AI Lab at Drees & Sommer Digital Services and help shape the next generation of intelligent solutions for the construction and real estate industry. In our lab, we develop AI applications that create real added value both internally and externally — from document analysis and process automation to agent-based systems. As a Senior AI Engineer, you will be responsible for the entire life cycle: from requirements analysis with stakeholders to architecture and development to deployment and operation. You will work independently with internal departments and external customers, including local authorities, state governments, and private-sector clients.
