Thorit GmbH · Böblingen, Germany · Hybrid · Full-time · Available immediately

About the Role

You'll be the engineer on the ground at our enterprise clients. You sit with their teams, find the workflows where AI agents create real value, and build them until they run in production, connected to HubSpot and the systems around it. What you learn in the field, you turn into building blocks the whole team ships with.

What You'll Do

• Own the technical delivery of agentic AI use cases from the first discovery workshop to a stable production system

• Build agents and integrations on top of HubSpot, ERP and data platforms, with evals, monitoring and clear acceptance criteria

• Debug in real client environments and stay until it works, then hand over cleanly to our Managed Services team

• Codify what repeats across clients into reusable connectors, MCP servers, agent templates and eval tooling

• Ship compliant: every deployment you own meets GDPR and EU AI Act requirements before go-live

• Translate between business and tech, explaining trade-offs to client stakeholders in German and documenting in English

• Support our consultants and sales team with technical scoping and fast proofs of concept
