AI Enablement

About the role

As Upvest's first dedicated Applied AI hire, you won't be joining a function: you'll be building one. You will identify where AI creates the most leverage across the business, help select and integrate the right tooling, and ship solutions that teams actually use. This is a hands-on senior IC role with direct impact on how 290+ people work every day.

What you'll do

• Connect AI tools to Upvest's internal systems, integrating Claude and other LLMs with internal tools, APIs, and data sources via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Identify high-impact automation opportunities, build end-to-end workflows using tools like n8n, and make pragmatic calls about when a simple automation beats a complex agent
• Work 1:1 with colleagues across the business — from engineers to operations to client-facing teams — helping them rethink and optimise how they work with AI
• Run discovery sessions, write internal playbooks, and coach colleagues on prompt engineering and AI tooling
• Navigate data privacy, compliance, and audit requirements within a BaFin and FCA regulated environment

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience shipping AI agents and building end-to-end automations with tools like n8n
• Experience building or working with MCP servers and connecting LLMs to internal tools, APIs and data sources
• Proven ability to upskill non-technical teams on AI tooling and drive real adoption
• Ability to define ROI, iterate, and ship without over-engineering
• Experience running discovery sessions and presenting confidently to senior, non-technical audiences
• Regulated industry (fintech or adjacent) experience with first-hand understanding of compliance constraints
• 5+ years in a scale-up in roles such as solutions engineer, technical consultant, AI product engineer, or similar
• Based in Berlin (mandatory). English required; German a plus

What they offer

• €20,000 per year per employee to spend on AI tools
• €1,500 annual budget for personal and professional training
• 30 days annual leave, sports benefits, and confidential professional coaching
• Flexibility to work remotely abroad for up to 183 days a year
• Competitive, above-market salary and participation in employee equity program
