What's the role?
We are looking for a Principal AI/ML Engineer to drive the architecture and hands-on delivery of HERE’s Agentic AI Framework. In this role, you will define technical direction, build and evolve core agentic capabilities, and help product teams deliver reliable, scalable, customer-facing agent-based systems that combine HERE Location & Navigation intelligence with modern Agentic AI techniques. You will operate with a broad scope, influencing multiple teams through technical leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional alignment.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the reference architecture for HERE Agentic AI Framework (runtime, orchestration, and integration patterns)
Design, implement, and productionize agentic components (planning, tool-use, memory/state, evaluation, and safety/guardrails) that can be re-used at scale
Translate ambiguous problem statements into end-to-end technical solutions
Drive framework adoption by providing high-quality SDKs/APIs, documentation, reference implementations, and support for product teams
Lead technical reviews and decision-making forums; identify and retire architectural risks and tech debt across multiple initiatives
Mentor engineers and act as a force multiplier through coaching, design guidance, and pragmatic engineering standards
Who are you?
Extensive experience as a senior/principal engineer delivering production-grade AI/ML systems (including ownership of design, implementation, rollout, and operations)
Proficiency in architecting extensible software frameworks (specifically designed for autonomous agents or complex distributed systems). Be an adept at designing modular architectures that leverage reusable software components, abstraction layers, and standardized APIs to enable rapid agent deployment (by implementing scalable, decoupled logic that integrates diverse toolsets, memory modules, and LLM-orchestration patterns)
Strong hands-on skills in modern ML/LLM engineering (prompting and orchestration patterns, RAG, tool/function calling, fine-tuning/adaptation where appropriate)
Experience building and operating agentic systems, including evaluation strategies, reliability patterns, and safety/guardrails
Solid software engineering fundamentals: system design, distributed systems, API design, observability, and performance optimization
Proven MLOps experience (data/model versioning, CI/CD, automated testing, online/offline evaluation, monitoring, and incident response)
Ability to lead through influence: drive alignment across teams, communicate trade-offs, and make high-quality technical decisions
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex topics to engineering, product, and executive stakeholders
Mandatory hands-on experience using AI tools in day-to-day engineering activities to increase productivity and effectiveness
Ability to embed AI-assisted workflows into engineering practices (coding, design reviews, testing, documentation, and operations)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building customer-facing AI platforms/frameworks used by multiple teams, with clear patterns for reuse and governance
Experience with cost-aware LLM serving, caching, and latency optimization at scale
Familiarity with location-based services, navigation, or geospatial data products
Contributions to open-source, publications, patents, or recognized technical leadership in the AI/ML community
