Job description

Principal Machine Learning Engineer | €700/day

Build greenfield AI from the ground upOwn the technical direction of a next-generation AI platformWork hands-on with cutting-edge Agentic AI

A global reinsurance company is investing heavily in the next phase of its AI transformation, moving beyond experimentation to build AI capabilities that can operate reliably at enterprise scale.

With Agentic AI becoming a core part of its technology strategy, this is an opportunity to join at a pivotal point and help turn ambitious AI concepts into production-ready platforms that deliver genuine business impact.

You will become the most senior engineering voice within the AI function and the technical owner of the agent platform, setting the architecture and engineering standards for how agentic and conventional ML systems are built, deployed, monitored and operated.

Why You'll Love This Role

Build from the ground up: Take technical ownership of a greenfield AI platform and shape how it evolves from early-stage innovation into a production-grade capability.Make a genuine impact: Your decisions will directly shape architecture, engineering standards and the future direction of the wider AI function.Stay close to the technology: Lead from the front, solving complex engineering problems while remaining hands-on with code, architecture and production systems.Build for real-world impact: Apply cutting-edge AI to meaningful business problems within a global reinsurance environment, balancing innovation with enterprise-scale delivery.

What You'll Do

Architect and evolve the production AI platform, covering deployment, reliability, observability and lifecycle management across agentic and conventional ML systems.Engineer and standardise CI/CD, environment management and release processes for ML models and agentic services.Design and integrate MCP servers and A2A-based agent communication to enable reliable, scalable agent orchestration.Drive production excellence through MLOps/LLMOps, observability, evaluation, monitoring, alerting, drift detection and rollback strategies.Lead technical direction across the AI engineering function and partner with data science leadership on major architectural decisions.
