Company Description

Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions Slovakia, a key player in the Košice IT Valley since 2006, has grown into one of the region's largest employers with over 3,900 employees. We are dedicated to proactively improving and transforming our services to provide innovative information and communication technology solutions.

About the Role

We are seeking an AI Consultant with deep expertise in AI sovereignty, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance to advise customers in highly regulated sectors such as public sector, finance, and healthcare. This role focuses on designing and implementing sovereign AI solutions that meet stringent legal, security, and operational requirements, ensuring compliant, auditable, and resilient AI landscapes. You will translate complex regulatory and technical needs into target architectures, controls, and operating models, engaging directly with customers.

What You'll Do

• Act as a trusted advisor and mediator between delivery teams and customers on AI sovereignty, data sovereignty, and compliance requirements during AI solution design and rollout.
• Assess customer environments (cloud/hybrid/on-prem) and define sovereignty requirements for AI workloads, including data residency, access controls, encryption, key management, segregation, logging, and auditability.
• Design and implement AI governance frameworks covering model lifecycle governance, risk classification, documentation, approval workflows, accountability, and audit readiness.
• Support customers in building compliant AI architectures (secure-by-design, privacy-by-design), including data pipelines, model hosting concepts, and AI operational models (MLOps/LLMOps).
• Translate regulatory needs into implementable controls aligned with frameworks like the EU AI Act.
• Define and advise on the implementation of control sets for AI systems, including monitoring, incident response, model change management, drift detection, explainability/traceability, data lineage, and retention policies.
• Develop and present customer-specific concepts, roadmaps, and target operating models (people/process/technology) for sovereign AI adoption.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• 3–6 years of experience in consulting, architecture, or security & compliance roles with customer-facing responsibilities.
• Proven hands-on implementation experience delivering AI/data platforms or governance/security controls in real-world environments.
• Strong understanding of data sovereignty principles (residency, access governance, encryption, KMS/HSM, audit logging, third-country transfer risk).
• Familiarity with the EU regulatory environment (GDPR, NIS2, DORA; EU AI Act readiness is a strong plus).
• Solid knowledge of cloud and hybrid architectures for AI workloads (Azure/AWS/GCP or sovereign/private cloud alternatives).
• Practical experience with data governance concepts (data classification, lineage, retention, DLP) and AI operationalization (MLOps/LLMOps).
• Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to lead workshops, produce governance documentation, and present to technical and executive audiences.
