Staff Engineer (gn) - AI Enablement

Your mission

• You identify AI opportunities across engineering before they appear on anyone's roadmap – and you drive them forward proactively, with or without a formal mandate
• You lead our AI Community of Practice: you own the format, the cadence, the reusable playbooks and prompt libraries, and you measure whether engineers are actually working differently because of it
• You accelerate the shift to agentic engineering by working hands-on with Claude Code, Codex, and n8n – building prototypes, sharing patterns, and helping teams move from AI-assisted to AI-driven workflows
• You build reusable frameworks and experiment templates that multiply your impact: guides, decision frameworks, and best practices others can follow and improve on without needing you in the room
• You co-shape AI strategy together with the Heads of Engineering and VP of Engineering – you are a key voice grounded in what's technically feasible and what engineers actually need, and you proactively surface the problems worth solving
• You collaborate closely with our Cloud & Security team, which owns our enterprise AI platform (Codex and Claude Code via GDP Enterprise), to enable teams to use it well and to feed back what's missing
• You work as part of a Staff Engineer team with different specialisations – you challenge each other, support across domains, and contribute your AI depth as the specialisation the team is currently missing

Your experience & skills

• You bring deep hands-on engineering experience, with a track record of driving impactful technical change across teams without direct authority
• You have strong expertise with modern AI tools and agentic workflows (Claude Code, Codex, n8n or similar), and you are excited to share that knowledge
• You are an excellent communicator and facilitator – you can lead communities of practice, write clear playbooks, and inspire engineers to adopt new ways of working
• You are proactive, autonomous, and comfortable with ambiguity – you find problems worth solving and drive them to completion
• You are based in Germany with a current primary residence here
