AI / Machine Learning Engineer

You build models that go live, and you stay the owner once they run. Here you also build the platform underneath them, from scratch. For my client, a Dutch scale-up that is moving its entire platform to AI-first, I am looking for an AI / ML engineer who sets the foundation and takes people along. Salary: up to to 9,500 gross per month. What you do - Set up the ML platform from the ground up: infrastructure, pipelines, deployment and retraining - Decide how models and infrastructure are measured in production, with monitoring that shows drift before the business does - Start from the data: filter large volumes of data, form a hypothesis and prepare the dataset - Bring LLMs and AI APIs in where that is the fastest route to impact You work with data engineering, product and software engineering, and you talk directly to the business. Your manager leads the AI project, backs you and expects you to find your own path. What you bring - At least 5 years as an ML/AI engineer, MLOps engineer or similar - Bachelor or master in a technical field, with solid ML fundamentals: you know how to build a hypothesis and prepare a dataset, beyond calling LLM APIs - Strong in Python, with a high-code mindset - Models you brought to production yourself and owned afterwards, ideally on a platform you set up from scratch - DevOps experience: cloud, CI/CD and infrastructure as code - You enjoy going to the business yourself and can explain a technical choice to a non-technical stakeholder You do not need to tick every box. If you come close, I would like to hear from you. Why here You build the AI foundation instead of maintaining one. The organisation is at the start of this transition, so your choices decide what it looks like two years from now. Plenty of autonomy, short lines, and models that show up directly in commercial results. - Salary: up to 9.500 euro gross per month. - Travel allowance up to 300 euro per month, or an NS business card for your route - Working from home allowance per day, at the maximum tax-free rate - One-off home office budget of 500 euro net - Pension scheme with no employee contribution - 25 holiday days per year (fulltime) - 8% holiday pay - Laptop for business use - Collective profit sharing, plus growth within the salary scale - An internal training academy and external trainers, with real room to develop Recognise yourself in this?
