Job description

Your job:

In this position, you will join our AI team! The team currently consists of two AI Engineers, a Product Manager, and a Team Lead. We collaborate closely with a dedicated UI/UX Designer, a Frontend Engineer, and a QA Engineer. The team is part of a group with three other teams who also work on the core features of our product, and with whom we also collaborate closely.

Our work focuses on building machine learning solutions that directly power exciting new product features, such as turning messy product data into structured attributes, categorizing products, and detecting and resolving data quality issues for our customers.

We do a mix of experimentation and implementation work, resulting in a varied workload where there is ample room for creativity.

To do this successfully, we deeply value ownership, growth, and collaboration. We foster a supportive environment where everyone actively helps one another to learn and succeed, and we are looking for someone who shares these values.

Your challenges:

• Develop AI features end-to-end.
• Lead projects in close collaboration with our Product and other Engineering teams.
• Leverage our proprietary training data to develop or improve AI models.
• Maintain our model training and serving infrastructure using both internal and external tools.

Who are you?

• You are an AI/ML engineer or a software engineer with an affinity for machine learning.
• You are a great communicator who can bridge the gap between customer demands and technical solutions.
• You have at least 4 years of working experience in a similar role.
• You like working in a team, learning from each other and actively sharing your knowledge with others.
• You like to take ownership of your projects and have strong stakeholder management skills.
• You have a solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and concepts, and have experience applying these concepts using PyTorch.
• You have knowledge of Python libraries for web development such as FastAPI, Pydantic, asyncio, requests, SQLAlchemy, etc.
• You are familiar with databases and data processing libraries such as PostgreSQL, Polars, DuckDB.
• You have good working knowledge of Linux, Git, and the command-line.
• You have high engineering standards. You like to leave your code cleaner than you found it.
• Some practical things we expect from you:
  • You’re available for at least 32 hours per week.
  • You’re willing to come to our Utrecht office for two days per week.
  • You have a valid work permit.

What success looks like:

• Ship exciting AI features to customers.
