The energy transition is impossible without you as an AI Engineer
The energy transition requires new ways of thinking-and building. At ENTRNCE you start with a market question, idea or customer challenge and quickly translate it into a working prototype. You are not a developer at arm’s length, but someone right in the middle of the problem.
Working within the proposition team, you collaborate closely with IT, business and market design colleagues. Together, you take successful prototypes further into production and contribute directly to solutions for grid congestion and flexibility markets. And as an AI Engineer, you will contribute by:
Turning market questions and ideas into working prototypes—from first sketch to testable results in short iterations;
Designing and building AI agents that can execute multi-step tasks reliably, using frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph;
Applying LLM techniques like prompt engineering, RAG and structured output to solve real-world problems;
Iteratively testing and refining prototypes based on feedback from customers and market participants;
Translating insights directly into improvements in your solutions;
Thinking along about UX and usability—you build solutions that people actually understand and use;
Contributing to the development of AI knowledge, tooling and best practices within ENTRNCE.
