Lead Agentic Systems Engineer - Frankfurt

What if the AI systems you build could help improve the lives of children and families?

A growing AI-first HealthTech company in Frankfurt is developing technology that helps clinicians and therapists better understand children’s behavioural, developmental and mental health needs. By combining AI, computer vision and intelligent software systems, they’re helping deliver earlier intervention, more personalised care and better long-term outcomes.

They’re now looking for a Lead Agentic Systems Engineer to help bring the next generation of AI-powered capabilities into production.

This isn’t a role focused on training foundation models. Instead, you’ll be solving one of the most exciting challenges in modern AI - turning emerging agentic AI capabilities into robust, production-ready product features that clinicians and therapists can trust.

• Use AI to tackle meaningful challenges in children’s healthcare
• Work on cutting-edge agentic AI and intelligent systems
• Help shape the future of AI within a fast-growing HealthTech business
• High ownership and technical influence across the organisation
• Collaborate with experienced engineers, AI specialists, product leaders and healthcare experts

What you’ll be doing

• Designing and building production-grade agentic AI systems and intelligent workflows
• Turning the latest advances in AI into practical product features that solve real user problems
• Building AI systems that combine LLMs, tools, data and business logic to support clinical decision making
• Defining guardrails, evaluation frameworks, monitoring approaches and human-in-the-loop workflows
• Improving the reliability, scalability and cost-efficiency of AI-powered products
• Working closely with engineers, AI specialists, product teams and healthcare experts to bring new capabilities into production

What they’re looking for

• A strong software engineering background with experience building production systems
• Hands‑on experience with modern LLMs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude or Gemini
• Experience designing AI-powered products, agentic workflows or intelligent automation systems
• A strong product mindset with experience turning AI capabilities into production features that solve real user or business problems
• Experience building AI systems that are reliable, scalable, observable and safe enough for real-world deployment
