Senior AI Engineer (Tech Lead)

Ready to go beyond code and create real-world impact?

Stop building AI that never meets production. Build systems that actually make impact. Most AI roles stop at tweaking models or working on proof-of-concepts. Yours won’t.

At ML6, you design, build, and deploy AI solutions that are used in production at companies like ASML, Bolt Energie and Randstad.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

  • Take up a tech lead role on a per-project basis

  • Work end-to-end: from data to production

  • See your solutions live in real-world environments

  • Combine AI, software engineering, and business impact

  • High ownership and autonomy in your work

  • Collaborate with smart, driven engineers

THE IMPACT YOU MAKE

You are more than an engineer. You are a Tech Lead, builder, and consultant in one.

  • Design and build end-to-end AI solutions

  • Take systems from idea to production deployment

  • Make architecture decisions and ensure scalability

  • Lead 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

  • Lend your technical expertise to client conversations to succesful start new opportunities

Time allocation: 70% client project work + 30% research, internal (domain) work and more
Note that ML6 is not an outsourcing firm, Our agents work on projects together with a team of colleagues.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 4+ years of working experience as a software, ML or AI engineer

  • Proven track record in delivering end-to-end solutions (to production)

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
