Are you curious about AI and ready to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and production-ready code? Do you want to use your (Gen)AI knowledge and ML engineering skills to help fast-growing Climate Tech scale-ups build solutions that genuinely matter? At Enjins, you'll have the freedom to work with the latest technologies while creating real, lasting business value - all within a growth-oriented team that values collaboration, celebrates together, and includes everyone.
About us
Since 2018, we've been engineering AI systems designed to deliver long-term, meaningful value. Operating from Utrecht and Berlin, we partner with innovative tech companies across Northwest Europe - including Groendus, SnappCar, Next Sense, Crisp and Beyond Weather - and actively prioritise partnerships in Climate Tech where our technology delivers measurable positive impact.
We build data & AI solutions. At Enjins, we operate with a product mindset, meaning we take full ownership of the technical lifecycle - from initial discovery to a scaling, production-grade engine that lives within our partners' infrastructure. At our core, we are engineers first: clean code, MLOps best practices, and system reliability. Our team is a growth-oriented group of engineers from diverse cultural, academic, and professional backgrounds.
What? [You'll be doing]
As a Senior AI Engineer, you will work at the intersection of technical excellence and project leadership within our team of 20+ engineers. You will act as a hands-on technical lead in a consultancy context, ensuring the impact of AI applications for innovative Dutch and international clients.
Key responsibilities:
-
Own the full development and implementation of robust AI/ML applications, ensuring systems are scalable and production-ready.
-
Support the growth of our engineering team by sharing knowledge on technologies like Kubernetes, Airflow, and Kafka — and by mentoring more junior engineers.
-
Act as a technical partner for stakeholders, translating complex AI architectures into clear business value and human-centric impact.
-
Play an active role in building Enjins: participating in interviews and identifying new tools and methods that increase team velocity.
What success looks like
A concrete example: within your first months you might lead the deployment of a renewable-energy forecasting model for a Climate Tech client - end-to-end, from data pipeline to production API with full MLOps coverage. That's the kind of work we do.
