Job description

Build intelligent, enterprise-grade systems that actually make impact

Join us at ML6 to design AI solutions that move beyond slide decks and into production for industry leaders like ASML, Bolt Energie, and Actief Interim. At ML6, you will map out and design AI solutions that are deployed in production.

What's in it for you

• Take up an Architecture Lead role on a per-project basis, navigating deep technical terrain and client expectations.
• Work and advise on our largest projects by focusing on designing complex, custom AI solutions in production.
• Bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI, robust software engineering, and strategic business impact.
• High ownership and autonomy in a fast-paced, technology-focused environment.
• Collaborate with smart, driven engineers.

The impact you make

You are more than an architect. You are a strategic advisor and a designer in one.

• Architect software components, cloud infrastructures, and complex migrations, such as monolith to microservices, legacy to cloud, or integrating cutting-edge GenAI and agentic systems, with a focus on security, reliability, scalability, and testability.
• Take an active part in the discovery phase and roadmapping. Analyze functional and non-functional requirements to plan, scope, and define projects so high-quality solutions can be delivered.
• Explore and experiment with cutting-edge tools and frameworks.
• Lead regular technical and C-level discussions with customers. Translate complex business challenges into clear, high-level technical visions and roadmaps.

ML6 is not an outsourcing firm; teams work on projects together with colleagues where autonomy is highly valued.

What you bring

• Extensive experience in the tech industry, typically 8–10 years, with at least 4–5 years actively designing, modeling, and making critical decisions regarding solution architecture and infrastructure.
• Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• A rock-solid understanding of modern architectural patterns such as microservices, event-driven design, serverless, Lambda/Kappa, and designing for failure.
• Demonstrable experience developing AI solutions, from traditional ML to agentic AI.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with local language proficiency in Dutch and/or German depending on office location.
• You can comfortably talk strategy with a CTO and drill down into tactical engineering solutions with the team.
• You thrive in dynamic environments and can translate high-level uncertainty into clear, pragmatic release strategies, whether staged, iterative, or phased modernizations.

Why joining ML6

• Driving seat: Whether you want to specialize more in your role or join the Office of the CTO at one point, we shape the path together and provide support to accelerate your career.
• Take ownership from day one: We want you to act like a shareholder—so we make you one. We provide stock options, ensuring you truly share in our collective success.
• Value driven innovation: Our work is guided by a commitment to Do Good and Excellence in Delivery. You’ll work on challenging, diverse projects where your passion for technology creates real-world impact.
