Working Student (f/m/d) - Search & AI Engineer

Job Description

We help the world run better

At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

What you'll build

In this role, you'll reimagine how people find information. You're not just enhancing the search - you're architecting the foundation for AI to understand context, intent, and nuance in ways traditional systems cannot.

What you'll actually do:

You'll work on the search infrastructure that lets AI reason about massive datasets in real-time. This means designing systems that don't just retrieve documents, but understand relationships between them, anticipate what users truly need. You'll optimize for speed and accuracy simultaneously - where seconds matter and wrong answers have real consequences.

Why it matters:

By embedding AI into search, you're eliminating friction between curiosity and understanding. You're reducing the cognitive load of finding truth in noise. Professionals spend less time hunting and more time thinking. Complex problems get solved faster because the right context is instantly available.

What you bring

• Student (f/m/d) at a university or a university of applied sciences
• Preferred fields of study: IT, programming
• You have a good grasp of AI concepts such as: agent skills and tools, MCP, A2A, prompt techniques, context-injection, RAG, etc
• You have experience with Python (REST APIs, FastAPI etc), or TypeScript or Kotlin, and understand engineering practices
• You are familiar with orchestration tools: Kubernetes, GitHub Actions
• Language skills: English is a must
• Working from Dresden office is required at least once a week
