As the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience, fast, easy, and to your door. We operate in around 65 countries worldwide powered by tech, designed by people. As one of Europe’s largest tech platforms, headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Delivery Hero has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is part of the MDAX stock market index. We enable creative minds to deliver solutions that create impact within our ecosystem. We move fast, take action and adapt. No matter where you're from or what you believe in, we build, we deliver, we lead. We are Delivery Hero.
We are on a lookout for a hands-on Senior AI Scientist (Agentic AI) to join the Vendor Data Team on our journey to always deliver amazing experiences to 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.
As part of our Vendor Team, you’ll be the driving force behind the success of thousands of restaurants, shops, and local businesses. Your contributions will empower vendors with advanced tools to manage their operations, boosting their visibility and reach. Every feature you help build will create growth opportunities for businesses of all sizes, strengthening Delivery Hero’s ecosystem and impact.
You will 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 LLMs, autonomous agents, and RAG to move beyond static prompts and chatbots into dynamic AI systems that solve real problems at scale.
Architect and deploy agent-based systems using LangGraph, PydanticAI, LangChain, Google ADK, Claude SDK, or custom-built orchestration frameworks
Build and optimize RAG pipelines — from smart chunking to embedding strategies and vector search
Design self-evolving prompt systems and dynamic decision flows driven by LLMs
Develop APIs and services that let models talk to tools, data, and other systems
Monitor, evaluate, and automate model feedback loops using AI-based simulation and testing agents
Work cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to ship AI-native features, not just prototypes
2+ years of experience in applied AI/ML engineering with real-world deployments
Strong Python skills and experience with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Haystack - Deep knowledge of RAG, LLM mechanics, prompt design, and chaining
Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and embedding models
You take ownership. If something is unclear or blocked, you figure it out or find a way around it.
You move fast but don’t cut corners — you care about quality and impact.
You believe working code beats perfect plans, and that iteration is the fastest way to clarity.
Nice to have:
Open-source model experience (e.g., LLaMA2, Mixtral, Mistral) or custom inference stacks - Judge models, feedback loops, or human-in-the-loop architecture
Experience designing test harnesses using agent personas or synthetic users
Familiarity with prompt injection mitigation, output validation, or agent safety
Background in shipping AI inside real-world web or mobile products
