Head of Data & AI Platform (m/w/d)

München oder Großraum Rosenheim
Full-time
Permanent employee

Your mission

You build the shared Data & AI Platform of the Orca Group, creating the technological foundation for the next generation of our products. Our goal is to bring data from different products and systems together into a structured, trusted, and securely accessible data foundation.

On top of this, you work with our Product and Engineering teams to build a platform that enables us to bring AI- and agent-based capabilities into our products faster, securely, and at scale. You own the group-wide Data & AI Platform strategy, build a small senior team, and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Cybersecurity.
  • Develop and own the group-wide Data & AI Platform strategy and prioritize relevant data, use cases, and platform capabilities together with Product and Engineering.
  • Build a shared, scalable data platform with data pipelines, common domain models, and measurable data quality across our products.
  • Develop our data foundation for AI agents and enable secure, permission-aware access through modern retrieval, search, and context solutions.
  • Design open APIs and agent-ready interfaces that allow our products, partners, and customers to securely interact with our data and platform services.
  • Build shared AI platform services for our Product teams – from retrieval and evaluation to model routing, guardrails, monitoring, and observability.
  • Establish group-wide product telemetry, data governance, and privacy by design in close collaboration with Product and Cybersecurity.
  • Build and develop a small, senior Data & AI Platform team and establish shared technical standards across the Orca Group.

Your profile

  • Several years of experience in Data Engineering, Data Platforms, or ML/AI Engineering, including technical or people leadership responsibility for teams or platforms.
  • Proven experience building a modern cloud data platform, ideally in an Azure environment using technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake.
  • Hands-on experience taking LLM-based systems into production, particularly RAG, embeddings, vector or hybrid search, evaluation, and monitoring.
  • Hands-on experience with AI agents and tool use, for example building APIs, tools, or MCP servers used by agents in real-world workflows.
  • Strong understanding of data modelling, multi-tenant SaaS data, permissions, and data governance, including the ability to bring together data from different products and legacy systems.
  • A hands-on mindset and experience using modern AI and AI coding tools in your own development work.
  • Confident communication skills in English (at least C1 level) and German (at least B2 level).
  • Nice to have, but not a must: Experience with knowledge graphs, semantic layers, data contracts, API products, or consolidating data across a multi-company environment.
