You don't just enjoy writing code -- you want to see it used on live deals? You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where finance meets technology?
Working alongside colleagues from more than 25 countries on cross-border M&A transactions across Europe is something that excites you? You bring an analytical, solution-oriented mindset and care about measurable output quality -- not vibes?
Then you are exactly who we are looking for -- because this is what you will do with us every day!
As one of Europe's leading mid-market M&A boutiques, we thrive on the energy and creativity of our people. We are looking for a team-oriented and dependable personality who is energised by the pace of international dealmaking.

AI & Automation Engineer (f/m/x)

Working Student/Part-time/Full-time

What you will build:

• Screening tools that read thousands of company websites and sort an M&A longlist into fits, non-fits and maybes - each with a written rationale.
• Pipelines that extract financials from annual reports, filings and data exports, validate them, and produce clean Excel outputs.
• Generators for Excel and PowerPoint deliverables along MP's style guide.
• Agent skills and workflows on our AI platform, complete with evaluation sets to measure the share of correct outputs.
• Small internal web apps including proper access control and documentation in order for others to run them.

What we expect from you:

• Ongoing or completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in either computer science, data science, machine learning, engineering or a quantitative field. Alternatively, an equivalent track record of things you have built -- please share GitHub, portfolio or demo links with your application.
• Solid Python knowledge beyond notebooks, and everyday Git: branches, pull requests, code review.
• Hands-on work with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI or open models): prompts for structured extraction, function/tool calling, and evaluation.
• Basic understanding of REST APIs, JSON and basic SQL.
• Productive use of AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
• Fluency in English; German or another European language is a plus.
• A genuine interest in finance, M&A and the fast-moving world of international transactions.
• Discretion: you will see confidential deal information.

Why you should apply:

• Real users are waiting from week one: deal teams who rely on your tools on live mandates across multiple jurisdictions.
• You own every tool from spec to production -- no hand-offs, no waiting.
• Get a front-row seat to cross-border M&A in Europe's industrial economy, working with teams in Vienna, London, Istanbul and beyond.
• Paid access to the AI tools and APIs you need to build. You will work directly with the team driving MP's AI & automation agenda and alongside the deal teams who use the output.
• Hybrid working hours that flex around your exams.
• Additional benefits such as our MyClubs sports program, company doctor, and professional development programs.
