Requirements
  • A degree in computer science, data science, engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience designing maintainable, agent-ready engineering environments, including repository structures, coding standards, automated test suites, CI/CD workflows, documentation patterns, and feedback mechanisms that allow software engineering agents to safely generate, modify, review, and maintain code.
  • Experience with knowledge graphs, graph-based retrieval, semantic modelling, or ontology-driven knowledge representation is a plus.
  • Strong coding skills in Python and experience with robust software engineering practices.
  • Practical experience with RAG pipelines, vector databases, embeddings, or fine-tuning workflows.
  • Strong understanding of common challenges in AI development (ground-truth evaluation data, monitoring, integration complexity, model drift).
  • Experience deploying AI systems in a cloud environment and working with modern ML stacks.
  • Familiarity with MLOps, prompt engineering, or LLM-based application design.
  • Ability to explain complex AI topics in clear and actionable language to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • High motivation, ownership mentality, and a strong drive to build impactful AI products.
  • Fluency in English; German is a plus.
Responsibilities
  • Design and build agentic GenAI systems using modern frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen or Atomic Agents, taking the lead on translating product needs into scalable AI solutions and delivering production-ready implementations.
  • Drive harness engineering practices across Data Science projects, creating agent-ready repositories, workflows, standards, and feedback loops that enable software engineering agents to generate, test, maintain, and review code reliably across AI, ML, and data products.
  • Develop and maintain knowledge integration pipelines, including RAG architectures, custom model fine-tuning, vector search, and other grounding methods to ensure our AI systems have the right context for accurate, relevant outputs.
  • Define evaluation strategies, build ground-truth datasets, and create automated test and monitoring setups to ensure stable long-term model performance and proactively detect issues such as drift or hallucination.
  • Collaborate with engineering, data, and product teams to integrate AI components into platforms, workflows, and customer-facing products, designing clean APIs, robust pipelines, and scalable deployment patterns.
  • Act as a hands-on expert for GenAI and agentic software engineering topics, mentoring peers, guiding solution architecture, and driving best practices in coding, testing, repository design, documentation, observability, and harness engineering across the team and beyond.
  • Experiment with new tools, models, and architectures, identify high-impact AI opportunities, and build prototypes that can scale into production-ready solutions.

AutoScout24 operates an online car marketplace across 18 European countries with a catalog of over 2.4 million vehicles and about 10 million monthly visitors. Users browse and search listings to buy or sell cars; dealers and private sellers pay listing fees or advertising and value-added services, and the platform offers marketing tools to help reach buyers. It differentiates itself by offering a large, pan-European inventory combined with dealer marketing solutions and a dual channel for private and professional sellers, supported by an ecosystem of related automotive platforms. Its goal is to enable efficient, large-scale vehicle transactions online by giving buyers broad choice and giving sellers a strong channel to connect with customers while generating revenue from listings, advertising, and services.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Trader acquisition adds 26 million Canadian monthly visits and 5,000 dealer partners outside Europe.
  • Post-Trader integration, 70% of revenues from number-one market positions versus 50% previously.
  • €250 million debt add-on strengthens Dutch market position without impacting B+ credit ratings.

What critics are saying

  • Leverage exceeds 7.0x EBITDA; covenant breaches likely if EBITDA growth falters in 12–18 months.
  • EU Digital Markets Act forces AutoScout24 to share 2.4 million listings with competitors by 2027.
  • Trader integration failures from cultural clashes erode synergies and dealer retention within 6–12 months.

What makes AutoScout24 unique

  • Pan-European marketplace with 30 million monthly users across 19 countries post-Trader acquisition.
  • Integrated dealer software and lender solutions from Trader expand beyond classifieds into B2B services.
  • Bot Factory AI framework standardizes agent development for operational efficiency across organization.

AS24's EUR250mn Add-On Neutral to Ratings

Fitch Ratings reports that Speedster Bidco GmbH (AutoScout24; AS24) has added a €250 million fully fungible add-on to its first-lien senior secured debt, raising leverage above the 7.0x EBITDA threshold. Despite this, the Issuer Default Rating and ‘B+' senior secured debt rating remain unchanged, as leverage is expected to return to acceptable levels by 2027. The funds will repay the revolving credit facility used to acquire AutoTrack and Gaspedaal in the Netherlands.
