🤖 AI/ML Engineer

🤖 The Job

At Dataroots, we deliver end-to-end data and AI solutions, from strategy and platform design to data engineering and AI-enabled systems. That broad scope is reflected in our team: AI/ML engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and data strategists. Each discipline brings its own expertise, but we share knowledge, perspectives, and a common way of thinking across disciplines.

Within that team, you design, build and deploy AI solutions that deliver tangible business value for our clients across a variety of industries, spanning classical ML, modern GenAI, and Agentic AI use cases. Your work goes beyond getting the models to work; you help bring AI systems into production in a robust and scalable way, applying best practices in MLOps and LLMOps to ensure they are reliable, maintainable, and adaptable over time.

💼 What we’re looking for
You bring the following qualities & experiences to the role:

• A deep passion for Artificial Intelligence and its applications.

• A minimum of 2 years of experience developing AI-driven applications or systems.

• Strong foundation in software design principles; Proficiency in Python & SQL is a must.

• A solid understanding of core machine learning techniques and how to apply them pragmatically in production settings.

• Familiarity with modern generative AI and agentic approaches, including retrieval-based systems and LLM orchestration patterns.

• Experience deploying AI systems into production, with a solid grasp of model lifecycle management and cloud-native deployment practices.

• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and a solid understanding of cloud-based AI and data workflows.

• Front-end experience is considered a plus.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for clients.

• A pragmatic, business-oriented mindset: able to translate business problems into technical scopes and help AI solutions land, with a focus on product thinking and real business value.

• Fluency in English and Dutch.

Not every box needs to be ticked to be a great fit. If you’re excited about the role and eager to grow, we’d still love to hear from you.
