Senior AI Engineer
AI in this role
Stop building AI that never makes it to production. Build solutions that make a real impact. Most AI jobs stop at fine-tuning models or working on proof-of-concepts. Not this one.
At ML6, you design, build, and deploy AI solutions that are used in production at companies such as ASML, Bolt Energie, and Randstad.

Assume the role of Tech Lead on a project basis
Work end-to-end: from data to production
See your solutions go live in real business environments.
Combine AI, software engineering, and business impact
High degree of ownership and autonomy in your work
Collaborating with smart, driven engineers
THE IMPACT YOU MAKE
You are more than an engineer. You are a Tech Lead, builder, and consultant all in one.
Design and build end-to-end AI solutions
Bring systems from ideation to production
Make decisions about the architecture and ensure scalability
Manage teams of engineers
Translate business challenges into technical solutions
Work with Python, ML frameworks, GenAI and cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
Build scalable systems using MLOps and CI/CD
Leverage your technical expertise during client meetings to successfully launch new opportunities.
Time allocation: 70% project work for clients + 30% research, internal (domain) tasks, and more. Please note: ML6 is not an outsourcing company: our people work together with a team of colleagues at the ML6 office on projects where autonomy is highly valued.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- Walk me through fine-tuning a model: what data did you use, and how did you check the result?
- How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
- How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
- Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Fine Tuning and Ml Ops. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
