The posting

Position Overview:

This is a vacancy with monthly visits to our HQ in Tutzing or Amsterdam. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of gender identity.

As we continue to expand and evolve our Supply-Chain-focused Data Integration Platform, we're looking for a Senior Python Software Engineer with a strong affinity for AI/ML to join our Product & Engineering team.

We launched Pathfinder, which brings AI into the world of EDI and Data Integration – it’s already live in production and proven stable. What we need now is a skilled software engineer to expand its scope with clean, production-grade code. In this role, you’ll build additional AI agents within this established framework, taking them from blueprint to production. These agents leverage both LLMs and hybrid AI/ML systems.

Our mission is to connect people, data and intelligence (human & artificial) to optimise processes across the supply chain, always choosing the right tool for the right challenge. Ready to make an impact?

You’ll get to take ownership of:

  • Developing Pathfinder, a multi-agent AI system built on protocol-driven, microservice-oriented architecture – where specialised agents are dynamically orchestrated to assist users in navigating the complexities of data integration, automating routine tasks and proactively solving problems to make them significantly more productive.
  • Defining and implementing scalable microservices that drive data mapping, transformation, and intelligent integration.
  • Developing and maintaining RESTful APIs to ensure seamless communication between services and systems.
  • Creating and optimising event-driven data pipelines to enable real-time processing, automation, and decision-making across our products.
  • Evaluating, selecting, and implementing the best-fit tools and technologies to solve complex engineering and data challenges effectively.
  • Collaborating directly with key customers and internal stakeholders to validate solution performance and ensure product impact and usability.

We’d love to meet someone with:

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering with Python as your primary language, and a track record of building and running production-grade software – including being the person who fixed it when it broke.
  • Python craft: strictly typed, well-structured code that goes well beyond scripting or notebooks. You model your data at every boundary – Pydantic, attrs or similar – and you're comfortable working within an established framework.
  • A production mindset: you think about maintainability, testing, telemetry, and debugging, and you’re comfortable handling production issues and contributing to root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Deep, practical async Python: you have built services on asyncio and you know what it buys you and what it doesn't – async generators, cancellation, and why a single blocking call inside a coroutine stalls everything around it. Micro-services and event-driven architectures on top of that.
  • A feel for what goes wrong across a network boundary: timeouts, bounded retries with backoff, idempotency. You read an outbound call with no deadline on it as a defect rather than a detail.
  • Proficiency in designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
  • An affinity for AI/ML: curiosity about or hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic systems is a strong plus, though neither is required – we care more that you engineer well than that you already know this stack. Deep ML specialism is not needed.
  • Strong communication skills in English.

Nice to have:

  • Supply chain or logistics domain knowledge – the cherry on top, not a requirement.
  • Willingness to dig into the Java codebase of our core product to understand what functionality is already available, even before it’s exposed via an API.
  • Experience with CI/CD (GitHub Enterprise) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi).
  • Familiarity with cloud AI services (e.g., SageMaker, Bedrock, Azure ML).

You can look forward to:

  • Opportunity to work flexibly from home
  • Modern offices in Germany and the Netherlands
  • A personal Learning & Development budget
  • Up to 30 days of remote work per year from any EU country
  • Company Pension plan
  • 30 vacation days a year
  • 2 additional paid days off on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve
  • Location-specific benefits packages (your recruiter will be happy to provide more details during your first chat)
  • Company-sponsored business travel

For this role, we are open to working with specialists based in Germany or the Netherlands. Whether you prefer working on-site at our offices in Tutzing, Amsterdam, or remotely from a location within one of these countries, we’re happy to accommodate your preferred working style.

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply!

Lobster is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where empathy and respect guide our interactions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
