Does this sound like you?
You help turn ambitious AI ideas into production systems that deliver measurable business value. You enjoy working in crossfunctional teams on real-world problems — from scalable ML pipelines and model deployment to cuttingedge GenAI applications — using modern cloud, CI/CD, and MLOps practices. You like to code and you know how to leverage the latest AI coding tools (like Copilot, Cursor, or Claude) to be more effective without compromising on quality. You excel at bridging the gap between data scientists and data engineers, and you manage to keep your stakeholders involved along the way.
We're hiring for multiple specialized roles depending on your experience and interests:
Senior ML Engineer
You combine ML knowledge with software engineering rigor to build robust solutions. You're responsible for taking AI solutions into production to generate value, ensuring applications are scalable, testable, robust, and extendable. When working in a larger team, you take a leading role regarding technical decisions and you coach (junior) engineers to grow their technical expertise. To do this you work closely with engineers, data scientists and business stakeholders.
Senior AI Engineer
You develop cutting-edge AI applications, from GenAI solutions to agentic AI systems that transform how businesses operate. You know how to rigorously evaluate your solutions to ensure they deliver real business value, not just impressive demos. When working in a larger team, you take a leading role regarding technical decisions and you coach (junior) engineers to grow their technical expertise.
How you will help in creating value with Data & AI?
At Xebia Data, we solve real business problems with AI. Over the past decade, our team has predicted daily demand for millions of loaves of bread, built advanced energy-saving algorithms at a nationwide scale, automated video labeling with GenAI for TV programs, and set up data innovation labs at large multinational corporations.
You'll be part of a team that transforms promising concepts into production-ready solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. Whether you're deploying ML models at scale, building the platforms that enable AI teams to work efficiently, or creating cutting-edge GenAI applications, your work will directly contribute to making our clients truly AI-driven.
Some examples of solutions that ML Engineers and AI Engineers from the Eindhoven team delivered in the past year for customers in the region: an agent that is used in practise and already resulted in actual business value for the client, a solution to classify the quality of flower bouquets using vision, a LLM-based data extraction solution to save unstructured information from historical documents.
We've already enjoyed great success – just think of what more we can achieve when YOU join our team!
What you will do to make AI - driven applications
You collaborate closely with data scientists and business users on your team to understand the problem being addressed and their approach. Your communication skills help find the shortest path from Data to value. Your Engineering skills enable you to build scalable AI solutions that are robust and easy to maintain.
During on-site client engagements, you may encounter challenging problems. Fortunately, Xebia organizes regular knowledge sharing sessions and remote work sessions where you can discuss and find solutions with the collective intelligence of the entire team. If immediate assistance is needed, every Xebia member is just a quick message away, always ready to provide support.

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A CONSULTANT AT XEBIA DATA
As a consultant at Xebia Data, you will have projects of varying lengths. Some are 2 weeks, some are 1 year, most are in between. Every project is different, as is every client. We, however, always deliver the best quality possible. It is not always easy, but it is always rewarding. You will be exposed to different companies, problems, systems, and solutions. Join our dynamic team and collaborate with industry leaders such as Ahold, ASML, and Sligro! Explore the exciting projects we've undertaken by diving into our inspiring customer stories.
You will be surrounded by experts in different fields, and you will learn so many new things in a short time. Xebia Data offers the perfect environment to shine as a data professional.
You will never be alone on this journey. We have all experienced imposter syndrome, had a difficult project, or felt down at times. We know what it takes, we know it is difficult sometimes, and we will be there for you when you need it. We say People First, and we mean it.
Xebia Data offers you great benefits too, of course!
We work in a hybrid model – at client sites, in our own office in Eindhoven (Willemstraat 1K – just around the corner of de Kleine Berg!), and from home. While flexibility is important, coming to the office is essential for building the close-knit team we are. We value team cohesion, knowledge and personal development, innovation, and fun. We strive for authority in everything we do. At most companies, you'll see similar statements, but at Xebia Data, we back this up with concrete benefits:
Full-day innovation on company time. You can choose to work on whatever and with whomever. Want to invite a friend from outside? No problem. These days mostly take place in our Amsterdam Oostenburg office, but some will be in Eindhoven as well.
€5,000 per year and 6 days of dedicated development time – it's your obligation to spend it on anything that will make you a better data professional.
Attending and speaking at relevant conferences doesn't come out of your vacation time. And speaking at conferences also does not come out of your development budget.
Bi-weekly knowledge sharing events on Tuesdays with your Xebia colleagues that include dinner.
Office days on Fridays for hackathons or working from the office for your client. Always with good coffee and a tasty lunch that you enjoy together with your colleagues.
Sandbox Environments
Build, test, and experiment with anything you want in our GCP, AWS, and Azure sandbox environments.
We're heavily involved in our community by sponsoring, hosting, and organizing events. We organize and sponsor the Eindhoven Data Community Meetups that take place on a regular basis.

Great benefits for your physical and mental health, plus free healthy lunches and not-so-healthy drinks/snacks at our offices.
A generous tech budget, plus a monthly mobility budget to spend on leasing a car, leasing the e-bike of your dreams, or getting an NS Business Card.
Feed your curiosity and keep learning – order any books you want, on us.
We've got your future covered with a solid pension plan.
Fun events and activities like ski trips, BBQs, cooking workshops and more!
