Job description

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you collaborate with Data Scientists and Data Engineers to develop scalable, production-ready applications powered by data and AI. You are a Scientist or Engineer who embraces mathematics and understands the process of taking models from development to production. You possess the necessary skills and courage to bring ideas from your laptop to a cluster.

How you will help in creating value with Data & AI

At Xebia, we establish robust Data & AI practices to bring value to our clients and their customers. Our team of data professionals has successfully predicted daily bread demand, implemented energy-saving algorithms at a national scale, and established data innovation labs in large multinational corporations. By joining our team, you can contribute to even greater achievements in making top companies AI-driven.

As a machine learning engineer, your responsibility is to take AI solutions into production to generate value. You ensure that applications are scalable, testable, robust, and extendable through your expertise in engineering and machine learning.

What you will do to make AI-driven applications

You collaborate closely with data scientists on your team to understand the problem being addressed and their approach. You review their code, modularise it, identify areas for testing, and even challenge their solutions to enhance their effectiveness. Your proficiency in Python enables you to improve code quality or potentially translate it to other languages like Scala or Java.

• During on-site client engagements, you may encounter challenging problems. Fortunately, Xebia organizes regular remote work sessions where you can discuss and find solutions with the collective intelligence of the entire team. If immediate assistance is needed, every Xebia member is just a quick message away, always ready to provide support.

• You like working on the overlap between AI and software or data engineering.
• You like building your solutions with services on public clouds or want to learn how to do that.
• You like working for different clients and enjoy the excitement of regularly getting to learn new environments and know new people.
• You speak Dutch fluently.
• You only want to build models from data and are not interested in doing the work involved in taking these models into production.
• You are just fine with spaghetti code or do not understand what that is.
• You do not like coding, scripting, or templating.
• If you do not live in North Brabant, Limburg, or Gelderland.

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A CONSULTANT AT XEBIA DATA

As a consultant at Xebia Data, you will have projects of varying lengths. Some are 2 weeks, some are 1 year, most are in between. Every project is different, as is every client. We, however, always deliver the best quality possible. It is not always easy, but it is always rewarding. You will be exposed to different companies, problems, systems, and solutions. Join our dynamic team and collaborate with industry leaders such as Ahold, ASML, and Sligro! Explore the exciting projects we've undertaken by diving into our inspiring customer stories.

You will be surrounded by experts in different fields, and you will learn so many new things in a short time. Xebia Data offers the perfect environment to shine as a data professional.

You will never be alone on this journey. We have all experienced imposter syndrome, had a difficult project, or felt down at times. We know what it takes, we know it is difficult sometimes, and we will be there for you when you need it. We say People First, and we mean it.

Xebia Data offers you great benefits too, of course!

• You can enjoy, for free, healthy lunches and not-so-healthy drinks/snacks at our offices.
• You can use the great benefits we offer for your physical and mental well-being.
• You get a generous tech budget.
• You can build/test/experiment anything you want in our sandbox environments in GCP, AWS and Azure.
• You can work on that innovative idea of yours during the monthly Xebia Data Fridays.
• You have 5.000 Euros and 6 days of development budget per year which you can spend on anything that will make you a better data professional.
• You also have a monthly mobility budget to spend on leasing a car, leasing the e-bike of your dreams, or getting an NS Business Card.

Please note we don't provide relocation at the moment.
