Better Trips for travelers. Better Trips for the World

Since Evaneos was founded in 2009, we’ve been building a greener, fairer future for travel. By connecting travelers with the world’s best local experts, we provide trips that are better for them and better for the places they visit. For us, it’s all about quality and impact. That means fighting mass tourism and impersonal experiences at the expense of local communities and the environment. Instead, we offer tailor‑made trips, lovingly crafted by those passionate about sharing and protecting the destinations they call home.

Thanks to our network of more than 600 local agencies in more than 160 destinations, we’ve helped more than 800,000 travelers plan extraordinary trips worldwide. The adventure doesn’t stop here. We invest a percentage of every trip we sell in our Better Trips Fund and have committed to spend at least 3 million € by 2025 on projects that reduce the negative impacts of travel and drive positive change within our industry. Think: creating new opportunities for woman‑owned businesses, guiding small businesses through sustainability training and certification, and much more.

Our values are just as important within Evaneos. Our strength is in our diversity, made up of a multitude of languages, backgrounds, and experiences. We believe in building the best teams by creating an environment where everyone can be authentic, trust each other, and thrive.

We hope you’ll join us on our mission

At Evaneos, our mission is simple: to help travelers experience trips that are more local, more responsible, and more human, all around the world.

Within the Innovation Department, the Pathfinder team is reinventing how travelers design their tailor‑made trips, with AI as the central lever of the experience.

We are hiring an AI Product Engineer to ship AI‑native travel experiences used by real travelers in production. You’ll design, build, and operate AI products powered by agentic architectures, working end‑to‑end from problem framing to live monitoring, always in service of real user and business needs.

Your impact: you'll build traveler‑facing AI products that move metrics on conversion, experience, and cost. Two are already live and serving traffic: an AI trip designer that helps travelers explore and customize itineraries and a conversational experience that turns their intent into a structured travel project local agencies can act on. Real products, not internal tools.

The innovation Department

Within the Innovation Department, AI runs on two complementary fronts:

• Pathfinder: we design and build AI‑native products to unlock new growth opportunities and keep Evaneos at the forefront of its market.
• AI Company: we solve real team problems to improve internal efficiency, accelerate execution, and build a practical AI‑native culture.

The team reports to Romain Quilliot (Head of Innovation), who leads strategy, operations, and execution. By design, the team member owns its direction and proposes initiatives — with direct exposure to C‑level leadership on product and business strategy.

Our stack, at a glance

• Languages: Python, TypeScript
• AI/LLM: LiteLLM Gateway, Langfuse, Langsmith, multi‑provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral), Langchain DeepAgents, Claude Agent SDK
• Design agent architectures: runtime, tool systems, orchestration patterns, middleware, state management, RAG. Choose the right pattern for the right problem
• Own context engineering: shape what the models see and find ways to better steer the model and system, raising quality while controlling cost.
• Make quality measurable: build evaluation pipelines (offline benchmarks plus online metrics) and observability to catch hallucinations, drift, and regressions before users do.
• Own the economic viability: once something is live, find the right balance of quality, speed, and cost.
• Keep it running: debug production issues on non‑deterministic systems, handle model migrations when providers change their APIs, and deal with structured output failures and tool call errors.
• Own the infra: You build it, you ship it. Keep the dev environment fast and the deployment pipeline reliable.
• Own problems end‑to‑end: from framing to resolution, in collaboration with product, design, and business stakeholders.
