Tech Lead, Shared AI Services

The Nemetschek Group is a pioneer for the digital transformation in the AEC/O industry and focuses on the use of open standards (OPEN BIM). As one of the world's leading groups in this industry, the Nemetschek Group increases the quality in the construction process with its intelligent software solutions and improves the digital workflow of all those involved in the process. As a result, buildings can be planned, built, and operated more efficiently, sustainably and with less impact on resources.

Responsibilities:

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing engineering team delivering full-stack shared AI services (e.g., AI Assistant backend), including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
• Own the end-to-end, full stack technical architecture and platform governance for shared components across brands, ensuring scalability, reliability, and interoperability.
• Partner with product and engineering leaders to help prioritize cross-brand AI use cases, maintain a shared backlog, and align delivery timelines and dependencies.
• Deliver platform capabilities such as agent runtime and store, fine-tuning and evaluation pipelines, SDKs/APIs, and semantic translation adapters for cross-brand workflows.
• Establish and enforce engineering best practices for AI services, including code quality, documentation, automated testing, observability, CI/CD, versioning, and release management.
• Ensure security, privacy, and compliance across services, including model transparency and monitoring, data protection, and incident response processes.
• Define and track platform KPIs (availability, latency, cost, quality metrics), implement performance and quality evaluation, and ensure continuous platform upkeep.
• Operate a cross-brand contribution model: review, generalize, and merge brand contributions into the common core through rigorous technical reviews and quality gates.
• Align technical decisions with business outcomes; communicate impact, capacity needs, and investment trade-offs; support budgeting and resource allocation for shared services.
