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 new 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
