Job description

About us

Since 2018, we've been engineering AI systems designed to deliver long-term, meaningful value. Operating from Utrecht and Berlin, we partner with innovative tech companies across Northwest Europe - including Groendus, SnappCar, Next Sense, Crisp and Beyond Weather - and actively prioritise partnerships in Climate Tech where our technology delivers measurable positive impact.

We build data & AI solutions. At Enjins, we operate with a product mindset, meaning we take full ownership of the technical lifecycle - from initial discovery to a scaling, production-grade engine that lives within our partners' infrastructure. At our core, we are engineers first: clean code, MLOps best practices, and system reliability. Our team is a growth-oriented group of engineers from diverse cultural, academic, and professional backgrounds.

What? [You'll be doing]

You will act as a hands-on engineer embedded within client teams, designing and deploying end-to-end AI/ML systems from proof-of-concept to production. Technical mastery meets high-impact client engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own a feature or deployment pipeline on client projects, demonstrating technical mastery and end-to-end responsibility.
• Spearhead the adoption of MLOps/LLMOps best practices - feature stores, model monitoring, pipeline orchestration — to ensure client systems are scalable and reliable.
• Collaborate with Data Scientists and Software Engineers to design and implement robust data pipelines and model APIs.
• Bridge the gap between data science and business value by translating technical findings into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders

What success looks like (within 6 Months)

A concrete example of what this could mean in practice: within your first months, you might build a predictive energy-demand model for a Climate Tech client - going from raw sensor data all the way to a monitored, production API. That's the kind of real-world impact we're after.

Within 1 Month

• Complete the Enjins AI Leap onboarding programme, understanding our approach and becoming a certified cloud practitioner (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Start your first client project — always alongside an experienced Enjins engineer who acts as your technical buddy and mentor.
• Get introduced to your dedicated Lead and Buddy, who will support your first two months of onboarding.

Within 3 Months

• Develop and implement robust AI/ML applications for your client, building new solutions and resolving integration challenges — laying the foundation of your AI engineering skills.
• Receive multiple feedback moments with your project team before and after client meetings to sharpen your consulting and project management skills.

Within 6 Months

• Identify new tools, methods, and processes that work best — and share them with the team.
• Help in the interview process for additional AI Engineers joining Enjins' growing team.
• Have meaningfully accelerated your client's velocity.

We're looking for engineers who are curious, growth-minded, and eager to learn. If you're willing to expand your technical skills, we want to hear from you.

Expertise & Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a relevant technical or quantitative field (data science, econometrics, mathematics, etc.).
• Solid experience with Python, SQL, and Git; familiarity with other languages and frameworks is a plus.
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and its data engineering components.
• Ability to bring AI/ML models or LLMs into production — whether that's your first time or you've done it before.
• Exposure to or curiosity about LLM-based and Agentic architectures (e.g. RAG, tool-use, multi-agent systems).
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), ETL/ELT tools, and the basics of LLMOps/MLOps.

Mindset & Approach

• Driven by curiosity and a strong desire to grow towards becoming a Senior AI Engineer.
• Comfortable engaging with clients - including executive-level stakeholders - with a genuine interest in driving results.
• A passionate builder who wants to make a positive impact and continuously discover new technologies.
• Able to communicate clearly with non-technical people, translating complex concepts into practical language.

Requirements

Fluent in English and eligible to work in the Netherlands. Dutch is not required.

We invest heavily in your growth, ensuring you become an industry-leading expert with an interesting career-path within Enjins.

Accelerate your growth & Development

• A personalised, structured AI-Leap learning journey (mentoring, learning, and practice) with dedicated time and personal budget for courses and certifications.
• Bi-weekly 1-on-1 coaching/mentoring sessions focused on both technical growth and professional development.
• Semi-annual reviews with a 360-degree feedback process - transparent, continuous improvement.
• Three career tracks to choose from as you grow: technical deepening, strategic expert or engineering leadership. The path is yours to define.

Innovation & Work environment

• Join a dynamic team working at the forefront of Data & AI technology in a European setting.
• Work from our office centrally located in Utrecht along the Oudegracht. (Note: our office is not yet fully accessible for individuals with physical disabilities.)
• Receive an Apple MacBook Pro and the freedom of a scale-up role.
• Competitive salary: €3,800 – €4,800 per month gross (excl. holiday allowance, pension, and AI-Leap benefits).

Work-life balance & Culture

• 28 vacation days - including the flexibility to use 3 national holidays (Easter Monday, Whit Monday & Ascension Day) as part of your allowance.
• Become part of a diverse and driven team —-engineers from varied backgrounds, enjoying monthly social events from themed parties and sports tournaments to board game nights and pub quizzes.
• Yearly Enjins Summer Summit: 2-day event deep diving into the intersection of AI x Climate
• OV-First (Public Transport) travel policy, fully covering your commute.
• Meat-free catering during internal and external events.
