AI & Automation Engineer (f/m/x)

Your mission

What you will build:

• Screening tools that read thousands of company websites and sort an M&A longlist into fits, non-fits and maybes - each with a written rationale.
• Pipelines that extract financials from annual reports, filings and data exports, validate them, and produce clean Excel outputs.
• Generators for Excel and PowerPoint deliverables along MP's style guide.
• Agent skills and workflows on our AI platform, complete with evaluation sets to measure the share of correct outputs.
• Small internal web apps including proper access control and documentation in order for others to run them.

Your profile

What we expect from you:

• Ongoing or completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in either computer science, data science, machine learning, engineering or a quantitative field. Alternatively, an equivalent track record of things you have built — please share GitHub, portfolio or demo links with your application.
• Solid Python knowledge beyond notebooks, and everyday Git: branches, pull requests, code review.
• Hands-on work with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI or open models): prompts for structured extraction, function/tool calling, and evaluation.
• Basic understanding of REST APIs, JSON and basic SQL.
• Productive use of AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
• Fluency in English; German or another European language is a plus.
• A genuine interest in finance, M&A and the fast-moving world of international transactions.
• Discretion: you will see confidential deal information.

Why us?

• Paid access to the AI tools and APIs you need to build. You will work directly with the team driving MP's AI & automation agenda and alongside the deal teams who use the output.
• Hybrid working hours that flex around your exams.
• Additional benefits such as our MyClubs sports program, company doctor, and professional development programs.
