Senior AI Engineer, Agent Runtime Platform

Datasnipper; Netherlands; On-site; EUR 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Datasnipper seeks a Senior Applied AI Engineer to join the Agent Runtime team behind Alwin, our audit and finance automation platform. You will own the base agents, strategy, and tool integration, shaping how agents reason, manage memory, and interact with the document layer.

This hands-on role demands experience with production-grade AI systems and a focus on reliability and cost efficiency. You will work in a small team with a large blast radius, driving end-to-end development from prototype

Qualifications

• Strong fundamentals in software architecture and system design, with a track record of reliable, well-tested delivery.
• Proficient with AI-assisted engineering and excited about working with coding agents daily.
• Experience shipping and operating an LLM-powered product in production with handling hallucinations, latency spikes, tool failures and cost explosions.
• Hands-on experience building agentic systems: control loops, tool selection, planning vs execution, retries and fallbacks.
• Fluency with LLM APIs and agent frameworks across more than one model provider.
• Experience with evaluation: datasets, offline and online experiments, resulting in measurable AI improvements.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong, production-grade Python.
• Familiarity with OWASP GenAI security practices and working in a regulated, privacy-sensitive environment.
• Sandboxed code execution, MCP, or multi-agent orchestration in production.
• Domain experience in audit, accounting or fintech.
• Experience with RAG and retrieval pipelines over large, messy document corpora.
• Document AI: VLMs, OCR, structured extraction and their metrics.

Responsibilities

• Own the base agents: system prompts, context engineering, memory and state management for long-running tasks.
• Design how agents use the tool layer, including document extraction, retrieval, code and file sandboxes, and MCP integrations.
• Ship end-to-end: from prototype with domain experts, through evaluation, to production on Alwin.
• Define and build automatic processes that improve the agent continuously over time.
• Stay on the frontier: evaluate new models, techniques and agent patterns for production use.
• Partner with Agent Experience, Document Intelligence and AI Platform teams to turn needs into runtime capabilities.
• Keep costs under control and implement cost-efficient AI-centric workflows.
