Senior AI Engineer
Worldwide | Nov. 4, 2026
Company: adesso Netherlands
Country: Worldwide
Type: Onsite
Employment: Experienced
Description: You set up AI projects from the content and lead them to a satisfied customer. Building a strong model is one thing. Showing a customer what AI can do for them, coming up with the right solution and getting it into production reliably: that is your job. As a Senior AI Engineer, you combine depth in machine learning and MLOps with depth in generative AI, LLMs and agents. You are there from the first customer conversation and, as a delivery lead, you are ultimately responsible for delivery. What will you do? Setting up new projects: from first conversation to proposal, with support from sales. You inspire the customer from the content, come up with the solution and set up a solid project plan. Lead the delivery: As a delivery lead you do the project management, you supervise the implementation on a daily basis and carry out the stakeholder management. Technical making choices and helping to build: You design the architecture of data, ML and agent systems and help build them yourself. With an FDE in the team, you work out the agentic design together. To production and keeping it running: MLOps, monitoring, security and maintainability are not an afterthought for you. Lifting the team: you guides colleagues and helps develop standards. Projects that go beyond the model We focus on retail and e-commerce, finance and utilities. Consider: Forecasts that planners dare to manage, from retail assortment to grid load. Intelligent document processing, such as KYC files or inspection reports, with traceable sources. Agents who prepare work in customer service and back office, with evals and guardrails. Computer vision, such as in the fitness industry, where we recognize unsafe situations in unmanned 24/7 locations. The challenge is not only in the model, but also in reliability, integration and operation in practice. What do you bring? Depth in ML engineering and MLOps and in GenAI, LLMs and agents, with solutions that you have put into production and maintained yourself. You design the architecture of data, ML and agent systems, with an eye for evals, monitoring, security and the EU AI Act. Strong in Python and SQL, and hands-on with at least one cloud (Azure, AWS or GCP) and a data platform such as Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric. Experience with business development and as a delivery lead or project leader. You work with coding agents on a daily basis and critically assess what they deliver. You speak and write Dutch and English fluently. What this is not No individual secondment. You work on projects on behalf of adesso, with a team behind you. Not a notebook graveyard. A model is only complete when it is in production and used. No GenAI because it is possible. Sometimes a classic model is better, sometimes an LLM; you choose what fits. No work on demand. You think along from the customer's request, not only once the design has already been determined. The team You will become part of our AI Engineering team: AI engineering consultants in two roles. The Forward Deployed AI Engineer (FDE) owns the customer problem and designs the solution, including the agentic architecture. The AI Engineer delves into construction, data, MLOps and scale, and thinks about the right approach based on the customer's request. You are given the space to shape your own work, but you are never solely responsible for all specialisms. Are you unsure which role is best for you? you fit? Then just apply; we watch together. Why adesso? Because you can really help build with us. At adesso Nederland it is about more than just technology. We build smart solutions that actually add value for our customers. No endless experiments or AI because it's hip, but technology that works and makes an impact. We are part of the international adesso Group, with more than 11,500 colleagues at more than 60 locations. At the same time, we are a relatively small and personal team in the Netherlands, with short lines of communication, a lot of freedom and room for our own initiative. Big enough to make an impact, small enough to feel the difference. AI-native: we embrace AI, including in our own work We believe that AI fundamentally changes how we build software, work with data and help customers. That is why we do not build individual experiments, but data platforms, AI-first applications and agentic solutions that really become part of business processes. This also applies to how we work ourselves. With our Agentic Delivery approach and proprietary tools you can really fly: Context and knowledge base: agents work with what is really going on with the customer, and knowledge and decisions remain traceable to people and agent. AgentOps and governance: visibility into what agents do and control over what they are allowed to do, so they work safely and within the rules. adSCAILE: our proprietary framework that lets you build together with AI agents, integrated, secure and traceable, in cycles of two to four days instead of sprints of weeks. You use these tools daily and help to develop them further. adesso is also a Select Partner in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network. And we remain critical: not everything has to be done with AI. The best solution always comes first. And perhaps most importantly: the people. You will end up in a team where craftsmanship, entrepreneurship and knowledge sharing are central. You work with experienced specialists and grow in technical vision and responsibility for customer relationships. We like colleagues who are curious, share knowledge and help each other. People who are good at their profession, but also enjoy working together. With us you get trust, responsibility and the freedom to actually implement ideas. What do you get from us? €5,850–€7,150 gross per month based on 40 hours 8% holiday pay Contract for 32 to 40 hours per week A lease car or mobility allowance of your choice, on top of your salary.

Shall we get acquainted?
You do not have to comply with every technical point. We are especially curious about what you have built, what choices you have made and where you want to grow.
A CV or LinkedIn profile is enough to start the conversation. This is followed by an introduction, a technical discussion and a practical case.
At adesso you don't just work on the technology of tomorrow. You will also be given the opportunity to help determine how we build it.
