Lead / Principal Python Engineer for Generative AI Backend Development

Join to apply for the Lead / Principal Python Engineer for Generative AI Backend Development role at Trimble Inc.

Transporeon is a SaaS company founded in 2000 in Ulm, Germany. The company provides logistics solutions across several areas, including:

• Buying & selling of logistics services
• Organizing shipment execution
• Organizing dock, yard, truck, and driver schedules
• Invoice auditing for logistics services

It has grown significantly over the years, reaching €150m in revenue before being acquired by Trimble for $2 billion USD in 2022. Transporeon has one of the largest networks of shippers and carriers in Europe, with approximately 1,400 employees. We are looking for Generative AI Lead / Principal Python Engineers to help build LLM-based agentic applications.

As a Lead / Principal Software Engineer specializing in Generative AI, you will design, develop, and maintain cutting-edge LLM-based agentic applications. This role requires hands-on expertise in frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph (or comparable frameworks), and techniques including prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and fine-tuning. You will be expected to deliver tangible results yourself. You will build solutions to meet functional requirements for innovative Trimble products, collaborating across global teams and leveraging agile methodologies. Your work will directly influence the delivery of intelligent, scalable, and robust AI-driven applications. Additionally, you will provide non-technical management and oversight of capabilities, risks, and opportunities related to specific technologies.

Main Responsibilities

1. LLM Application Development: Architect, implement, and optimize Generative AI applications leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs). Quickly learn and adopt agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph) to orchestrate LLM-based agents.
2. Working with RAG frameworks: Use techniques such as chunking, hybrid search, query translation, similarity search, vector DBs, evaluation metrics, and ANN algorithms.
3. Monitoring performance: Use observability services such as Datadog and Databricks for LLM observability and analytics.
4. Keep track of latest research: Stay updated on advancements in fine-tuning, RLHF, and prompt engineering, including DSPy.
5. System Design & Architecture: Translate high-level product requirements into scalable, modular software designs that adhere to modern design principles, microservices architecture, and cloud-native best practices.
6. Testing & Integration: Develop comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, end-to-end) to ensure code quality. Perform bug fixes and conduct quality assurance.
7. Collaboration & Mentorship: Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and mentor junior engineers in LLM-based solution design, implementation, and deployment.
8. Agile Delivery: Work in an agile environment, planning and executing sprints, meeting deadlines, and handling production issues across time zones.
9. CI / CD & Version Control: Employ CI / CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) and maintain code versioning in GitHub for seamless releases.

Key Result Areas

1. LLM Solutions Delivery: Launch production-ready LLM-based applications on schedule, ensuring quality and scalability.
2. Quality & Automation: Achieve high-quality daily releases with extensive automated testing.
3. Risk Management & Reporting: Proactively identify risks and communicate them effectively. Maintain transparent reporting of progress and metrics.
