DevSecOps AI Engineer (f/m/d)

This permanent role is part of the Development Transformation & Technology (DTT) team at AllianzGI. DTT enables secure, resilient, and scalable technology delivery across the organization by building and evolving the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and the surrounding SDLC toolchain.Role intent: This position blends an AI Engineer profile with SDLC platform engineering. You will design and build dedicated, reusable solutions that embed AI into the SDLC (AI4SDLC) and ensure AI/GenAI-enabled applications are built securely and compliantly by default (SDLC4AI). These solutions are horizontal capabilities (platform building blocks, services, templates, automations, agents) that scale across teams and form the tool foundation for other technical platforms to base their solutions upon.Demarcation to AI CoE: AllianzGI has established an AI Center of Enablement (AI CoE) to accelerate AI transformation across AllianzGI. The AI CoE focuses on use-case technologies and delivery, complementing DTT.
