About us
SSE – Secure Systems Engineering GmbH is a consultancy for enterprise IT and information security. As
passionate experts in research, engineering, defensive and offensive security, we provide comprehensive support
for organizations and projects at any stage. Our specialized teams are dedicated to deliver actual benefit from acting
as a full-scale security team closely integrated with development to testing businesses with the mindset of an
attacker. Beyond the necessary technical expertise, we believe that seamless and sustainable security requires a
tailored, agile, and human-centric approach - because IT Security is not binary.
As an AI Engineer you will be responsible for integrating advanced AI models into production systems, building
scalable ML pipelines, and training custom models that solve real business challenges.
You will combine strong software engineering skills with deep ML expertise to bridge the gap between research-
driven models and scalable, production-ready AI solutions.
