Descrizione del lavoro

Koos is a strategic design agency combining service design, UX design and human-centered AI to accelerate change. We design for people, accelerated by tech, delivering for business.

At Koos we believe design powered by tech can transform systems and services for people. Our teams combine empathy, craft and pragmatism. We move fast, build stuff that actually work and stay human-centred. We value honesty, collaboration and continuous learning.

About you

You combine deep AI expertise with a creative mindset. As a hands-on builder, you turn the latest AI developments into practical, end-to-end applications alongside our team. You bridge robust backend logic with seamless design.

What you will do

As an AI Design Technologist, you turn AI potential into real, practical tools.

• You act as the technical anchor for our creative teams. You translate design into complex engineering. You partner with teams to show what is technically feasible without killing creativity.
• You lead technical implementation for client projects. You advise clients on their tech stack and design their AI roadmaps. You like to help them scale their tech infrastructure.
• You are a hands-on builder at heart. You architect and engineer complete solutions from scratch, turning simple scripts into reliable, full-stack research assistants, agents, and dashboards.
• You define the baseline for AI governance, security, and data privacy across all builds.

What we expect from you

• Creative Engineer: You are a developer first, but you speak the language of design and thrive in a creative environment.
• You have a foundational understanding of modern AI architecture. You’ve been building in this space deeply, not just playing with APIs for a few months.
• A relevant university (WO) or applied sciences (HBO) degree.
• 5+ years of relevant work experience.
• Fluency in English; Dutch is a plus.
• 'Let's go' Mindset: You don't wait for orders. You explore, prototype, and build solutions independently.

We care more about your underlying engineering fundamentals than vendor lock-in. If you know AWS, we trust you can learn Azure.

• Backend: Python, FastAPI (or Flask, Django, or similar).
• AI: LLM orchestration (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex), strict output validation (Pydantic), and modern AI paradigms (Agentic RAG, Knowledge Graphs, multi-agent frameworks, and evaluation tools).
• Frontend: TypeScript, React, Vue.js, or similar.
• Deployment: Docker and strong familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Technical fluency

• End-to-End Execution: You write production-ready code. You can spin up a rapid React/Vue frontend and wire it securely to a robust Python backend.
• Applied AI: You build beyond basic wrappers. You design complex, multi-agent systems and advanced retrieval pipelines, knowing exactly how to enforce structured, reliable AI outputs.
• System Integration: You act as the glue, securely connecting models to internal databases, enterprise microservices, and third-party APIs.
• Delivery: You ship. Taking a raw proof-of-concept and guiding it all the way into a robust, deployed cloud application is exactly the kind of challenge that excites you.

Design and product mindset

• Strong familiarity with the design process: Understand the workflows from research, through strategy and design to delivery
• Ability to understand designers’ needs and turn them into usable tools
• Product thinking: able to own small internal tools end to end, balancing experimentation with stability
• Working directly with design teams to create client proof of concepts and prototypes.

Ways of working

• Pragmatic problem-solver with a focus on reliability and value
• Clear communicator who enjoys working in multidisciplinary teams
• Independent, proactive and comfortable working without designersCurious, experimental and driven to learn

Why this role matters

AI accelerates our craft. With you building the tech, our team can focus time and energy on what humans do best: empathy, insight, creativity and impact. If you enjoy building things people actually use and you want to push the design field and our clients' projects forward with AI, we’d like to meet you.
