WELCOME TO BASF
Digitalization is a true part of BASF's DNA — creating new customer experiences, driving business growth, and making processes more efficient. Global Digital Services drives BASF's digital transformation through innovative, integral, high-quality digital products and a strong agile culture, and the Digital Hub Madrid is one of our key global delivery locations.
We are seeking an AI Architect for BASF's DevHub — the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) used by thousands of engineers and product teams across BASF. DevHub already ships an enterprise AI Gateway (50+ governed models, Entra ID, EU data residency, per-cost-center billing, Grafana observability) and a catalog that is a schema-validated knowledge graph of every product and its infrastructure. As AI Architect, you will own the technical vision and architecture of DevHub's AI capabilities: defining how AI is built, integrated, governed, and scaled across the platform. You will work directly with the Product Manager as the architectural counterpart, shaping the AI roadmap, setting technical standards,
and ensuring the team builds the right things the right way. You will treat the platform as a product — designing the systems that serve both humans and agents, with the multi-tenant scoping, cost-tracking, guardrails and governance an enterprise platform demands
Responsibilities
• Own the AI architecture. Define and evolve the technical architecture for DevHub's AI capabilities: the AI Gateway, agentic services, retrieval/context pipelines, and platform-AI integration points. Produce and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs) and RFCs that guide the team.
• Set technical direction for the team. Be the architectural authority on pattern selection, technology choices, and build-vs-buy decisions. Ensure the team applies the right pattern for each problem: deterministic pipelines + structured outputs where outcomes are structured; multi-step/multi-agent orchestration only for genuinely open-ende
