Senior Data Scientist (Agentic AI)

Job Description

We are on a lookout for a hands-on Senior Data Scientist-Generative AI & Agents to join the Vendor Data Team on our journey to always deliver amazing experiences and go beyond prompt engineering into autonomous orchestration: designing agents that generate their own prompts, tools that empower AI with real-world actions, and judge models that validate outputs. Your work won’t sit in research notebooks — it’ll ship.

The Agentic AI team is building the next generation of AI-native products — intelligent systems that reason, act, and adapt. We combine the power of large language models (LLMs), autonomous agents, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to move beyond static prompts and chatbots into dynamic AI systems that solve real problems at scale. We don’t treat LLMs as tools to micromanage — we treat them as collaborators. Our products are designed to build and evolve themselves, leveraging AI to orchestrate workflows, make decisions, and continuously improve. If you’re ready to stop building brittle bots and start building AI that builds AI — this is your playground.

• Architect and deploy agent-based systems using LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom frameworks
• Build and optimize RAG pipelines — from smart chunking to embeddings and vector search - Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs for reliability, relevance, and factuality
• Design evolving prompt and memory systems driven by LLMs and user feedback
• Implement simulation and feedback loops using judge models or agent testing harnesses
• Partner cross-functionally with product, research, and engineering teams
• Stay current with the latest research in LLMs, generative modeling, and agent systems

Qualifications

• Machine learning fundamentals (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning) - Data wrangling and preprocessing (Pandas, NumPy, etc.)
• LLMs and NLP expertise (Transformers, BERT, GPT, etc.)
• Prompt engineering & fine-tuning
• Knowledge of tokenization, embeddings, and attention mechanism
• Using and fine-tuning Hugging Face models
• Evaluation metrics for generative models (BLEU, ROUGE, faithfulness, hallucination detection)

Nice to have:

• Open-source model experience (LLaMA3, Mistral, Mixtral) or custom inference stacks - Judge models, feedback loops, or synthetic user testing architectures
• Familiarity with prompt injection defenses, output validation, or agent safety
• Experience deploying generative AI in web or mobile products
• Academic or industry background in statistics, cognitive science, or human-AI interaction

Additional Information

• Make the most of our hybrid working model and join the team for face-to-face connection and collaboration in our beautiful Berlin campus 2 days a week
• We offer 27 days holiday with an extra day on 2nd and 3rd year of service
• We will support you in developing yourself and your career growth opportunities: 1.000 € Educational Budget, Language Courses, Parental Support and access to the Udemy Business platform to explore a variety of online courses.
• Get moving and release those wonderful, mind-boosting endorphins: Health Checkups, Meditation, Yoga, Gym & Bicycle Subsidy
• Cash. Dough. Cheddar. Whatever you call it, we’ll help you with it: Employee Share Purchase Plan, Sabbatical Bank, Public Transportation Ticket Discount, Life & Accident Insurance, Corporate Pension Plan
• The power of getting together over some food is unrivaled. Here are a few ways to help you do that. All the yum: Digital Meal Vouchers, Food Vouchers, Corporate Discounts. Courses.
