Your job:
In this position, you will join our newly established AI team. The team will be focused on training and building machine learning models that directly power amazing new product features for all of our customers. You will get to take advantage of the latest breakthroughs in machine learning, such as large language models, fine-tuning of models, and reinforcement learning from human feedback. You will also be working on setting up and optimizing data pipelines which we use to train our models.
Your challenges:
- Develop machine learning models with PyTorch, to power new features in our tool
- Optimize accuracy, precision, and recall of our existing models
- Set up and maintain data pipelines to build high-quality data sets
- Develop internal services that host our ML models and make them available to other teams via an API
- Evaluate new open-source models for their suitability for our use cases
- Fine-tune our models using our proprietary training data
- Maintain our machine learning infrastructure using both internal and external tools
- Scale up our model-serving infrastructure
- Work together with our product and engineering teams to deliver larger projects

- Excellent programming skills in Python
- Previous experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or another machine learning framework
- Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and concepts (supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, etc.)
- Experience with preprocessing data, and setting up data pipelines to create training data sets
- Familiarity with SQL and relational databases, preferably Postgres
- Good working knowledge of Linux, git, and the command-line
- Committed to high engineering standards
- Living in The Netherlands (or willing to relocate) and in possession of a valid work permit (if you’re a non-EU citizen)
Nice to have

- Knowledge of natural language processing (NLP) techniques and libraries like e.g. NLTK or SpaCy
- Understanding of computer vision concepts and frameworks (OpenCV, ImageNet, etc.)
- Knowledge of Python libraries like flask, asyncio, requests, sqlalchemy, FastAPI, Pydantic
- Familiarity with cloud platforms and technologies (like e.g. GCP) for deploying machine learning models
- Familiar with Haskell, Nix or other functional languages
- Having worked with distributed systems before
What will the new AI team be focusing on?
The new team’s mission is to develop and train machine learning models that will power advanced features for our users. The team will make use of the latest breakthroughs in machine learning, and apply them to our problem domain. It will also be responsible for setting up and maintaining data pipelines that are used to build our training data sets, and for automating the training pipelines for our models.
