Your place at MAI Group

Many AI projects fail not because of the model, but because of the question of whether it is permitted to operate it. As a (Senior) AI Consultant – Solution Architecture & Governance (all genders) in our new AI Transformation unit, you will answer this: You will decide together with the management, IT, and data protection departments of our clients which platform AI runs on, which rules apply, and how a solution can be safely put into operation. In doing so, you will work with consulting and engineering teams and have your own AI platform in the EU, your own data center, and a 24/7 operations team behind you.

MAI is a strong group with eight agencies spread across locations in Hamburg, Berlin, Paderborn, Cologne, Augsburg, Munich, and Vienna – connected by common goals, mutual exchange, and collaboration across location boundaries. Wherever you start with us: You will be part of your local team and at the same time part of MAI.

You can choose your location freely, including working fully remotely. We are particularly looking forward to reinforcements in Berlin, Munich, or Vienna.

What you will achieve with us

You will recommend the operating model: our platform, the client's tenant on Azure or AWS, or on-premises operation with a focus on security, scaling, costs, and GDPR.

You will design and evaluate architectures for agent and RAG solutions, including data flows, roles, permissions, and logging, and present the pros and cons in a comprehensible way.

You will classify use cases according to the EU AI Act and GDPR and coordinate them with data protection, information security, and the works council.

You will guide clients through the AI Foundation: inventory, platform decision, AI policy, and decision templates for management.

You will set up secure AI work environments and hand them over to operations.

You will accompany pilots, approve solutions before they go live, and check applications that clients have built themselves with AI for security and operability.

You will build the templates with which we can answer these questions faster for the next client and support proposals with feasibility assessments and effort estimates.

What defines you

You have worked for at least five years in software architecture, cloud, or IT consulting, and have brought at least two AI solutions into operation.

You have built things yourself and still do. For you, architecture is not just a slide deck topic.

You know Microsoft Azure from your own practice, for example Azure OpenAI Service, AI Foundry, or Copilot Studio.

You can explain to a CEO in ten minutes which decision they need to make and why.

You can withstand the critical gaze of a data protection officer because you have already asked their questions beforehand.

You know the EU AI Act and GDPR from application, not just from training.

You say no even when everyone else wants to start building.

You speak German at a C2 level and good English.
