• Collaborate with product and development teams to transition validated prototypes into scalable solutions.
• Ensure AI implementations align with journalistic best practices, legal requirements, and ethical standards.
• Share findings, demos, and prototypes with stakeholders to inform future AI product initiatives.
• Showcase AI prototypes and features to internal teams and customers, supporting sales enablement with hands-on demonstrations.

Qualifications:

• Experience in data science, applied AI, or product prototyping, ideally with exposure to media or content environments.
• Hands-on experience experimenting with AI models, LLMs, generative AI tools, or open-source AI projects.
• Ability to code and prototype lightweight integrations (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or similar) to test AI capabilities in real workflows.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to design and run experiments, evaluate results, and iterate quickly.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with product, development, and UX teams.
• Exposure to newsroom operations or content production workflows is a plus.
• Fluency in English; German is a plus.

Key skills:

• Curious and experimental mindset with a passion for trying new AI capabilities.
• Ability to translate exploration into actionable insights and working prototypes.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Pragmatic approach to balancing rapid experimentation with realistic product constraints.
