Position Overview & Specifications
About CHAPTERS Group
CHAPTERS Group AG is a Hamburg-based holding company investing in 55+ mission-critical software companies across the DACH region, France, and the Czech Republic. Our companies deliver the digital solutions that keep the public sector and core industries running. What they do matters in daily life.
AI has rapidly disrupted the software industry, and we aim to lead that transformation across our portfolio. Central to this is the AI Core team: we build and operate a shared enterprise AI Hub used by companies across the group, and drive adoption through a network of AI Champions. Each portfolio company has one designated power user who leads AI enablement locally, runs training, and scales usage within their organisation.
TasksThe Role
You will work as a full member of the AI Core team, supporting the infrastructure that powers AI adoption across 55+ portfolio companies. The team's core product is the AI Hub platform (Open WebUI): we keep it running, deploy new instances, build and validate integrations, and ensure every company in the group has a stable, well-configured environment.
We build the AI Hub as a product and ship it to every company in the portfolio. Each company owns and administers their own Hub (L1 Support). The AI Core team drives the features, changes, and integrations that create value across all hubs and serves as the centre of expertise (L2 Support) when local teams need guidance or hands-on help.
You will have direct ownership of tasks, contribute your own ideas, and actively shape how the platform evolves. This is not an observation role, you will work on the same codebase and infrastructure as the rest of the team.
What You Will Work On
- Deploy, configure, and maintain shared AI Hub instances across Azure and AWS
- Build and test platform tools, functions, and custom AI agents based on specifications
- Monitor platform health, uptime, logs, and configuration consistency across all deployed AI Hub instances
- Build health-check, alerting, and reporting scripts that track version parity, uptime, cloud usage, and deployment status
- Support containerized application deployment, environment configuration, secrets handling, and rollback processes
- Implement and validate integrations with infrastructure and enterprise services such as MCP servers, Git/Bitbucket, Microsoft Graph, and data providers
- Write deployment guides, runbooks, and onboarding documentation for new companies joining the platform
- Monitor core platform and dependency releases, then summarize operational impact, upgrade steps, and risks for the group
What We Are Looking For
Required
- Currently enrolled in a Master's program in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Software Engineering, or related field
- Strong Python skills, comfortable writing scripts, calling APIs, and building small applications

- Practical experience using LLMs via API (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
- Familiarity with Docker, REST APIs, Git, and deployment workflows
- Ability to read and work from technical documentation independently
- Strong written communication in English (fluent) and German (fluent)
Bonus
- Cloud platform certifications in Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud are a plus, especially when paired with hands-on deployment or operations experience

- Infrastructure as Code awareness (Bicep, Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Familiarity with authentication concepts (OAuth, SSO, JWT)
- Experience with monitoring, logging, or cloud operations tools such as Azure Monitor or CloudWatch
What You'll Get
- Work on infrastructure and tooling that directly shapes how 55+ software companies adopt AI, your output has immediate, visible impact across the group
- Become part of CHAPTERS Group, a German serial acquirer with 10x growth in the past five years and high ambitions for what comes next
- Full integration into the AI Core team, contributing alongside senior engineers from day one, with a direct line to the CTO office
