Ready to Train a Mind That’s Not (Yet) Human?
Imagine being called in for a secret mission. A confidential client has entrusted us with something ambitious, strange, and thrilling: building a conversational AI that listens like a human, learns like a scholar, and speaks with purpose. This isn’t a product. It’s a presence. And it’s your chance to help shape it—right at the point where it all begins.
We’re assembling a select team of brilliant minds to work on a newly commissioned, stealth-mode project. The brief? Discreet. The data? One of a kind. The potential? Enormous. We can’t reveal the client’s name (yet), but trust us—when the curtains open, you’ll want to say you were there from the start.
If you’re excited by the unknown, passionate about intelligence (artificial and otherwise), and eager to leave your mark on something world-class and whisper-quiet (for now), then read on.
This isn’t just a job. It’s an origin story.
Role: Machine Learning / NLP Engineer
The Mind behind the Machine
This is where it gets electric.
You won’t be fine-tuning a chatbot. You’ll be shaping the very thought patterns of a new intelligence. As our Machine Learning / NLP Engineer, you’re not just training a model—you’re designing a personality. A mind. A presence that can engage, interpret, reason, and respond.
You’ll work at the edge of LLMs, grounded reasoning, retrieval augmentation, fine-tuning pipelines, and intelligent prompt engineering. Every token it speaks—every pause, every subtle shift in tone—will trace back to your fingerprints.
This isn’t prompt monkey work. This is consciousness crafting.
What You’ll Do
– Fine-tune and optimize large language models using proprietary, high-quality human conversation data
– Architect and test RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using embeddings and vector stores
– Design safe, controllable, aligned prompts that generate rich, human-like interaction
– Implement evaluation metrics that go beyond accuracy—measuring nuance, tone, and utility
– Build tooling for fast experimentation, iteration, and interpretability
– Work closely with speech, backend, and data teams to ensure true end-to-end intelligence
– Drive our model’s ability to reason, reflect, and hold meaningful dialogue
Who You Are
– Deep experience with NLP, LLMs, and transformer-based architectures
– Hands-on experience with fine-tuning (LoRA, PEFT, QLoRA, or full fine-tuning)
– You’ve worked with vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines
– You’re fluent in Python, PyTorch, HuggingFace, and the latest model trends (open-source + academic)
– You think beyond benchmarks—you think in terms of intelligence, empathy, and real-world utility
– Bonus: You’ve played with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or open-source agents
– Bonus: You’ve contributed to open-source or published research—and it shows
Our Culture & Core Beliefs
This is not a job for the average ML engineer.
This is for the mind shapers—those who don’t just study intelligence but crave the chance to recreate it.
We believe in:
– No rank in the debrief — feedback flows freely, ego stays at the door
– Precision execution — hacky is okay, sloppy is not
– High-trust collaboration — we move fast, and we rely on each other
– Mission before pride — we own the mistakes, and we improve together
– Elite mindset — curiosity, clarity, and the courage to go deeper than most dare
We don’t build code.
We build capability.
Our Selection Process
To work on this mind, we’ll need to understand yours.
Our selection process is rigorous—and personal:
– Values & vision interview
– Pattern recognition and reasoning tests
– Personality & leadership profiling
– Technical assessment (a real-world fine-tuning + inference pipeline task)
– Final deep-dive with our founders: alignment, energy, and truth
We’re not hiring for a role.
We’re inviting you into a legacy.
Location & Compensation
– Based in our Almere headquarters, The Netherlands
– No remote islands—we build this together, like the Blue Angels, shoulder to shoulder
– Compensation: top-tier
– Because if you want Messi or Ronaldo, you don’t negotiate down—you pay up
– We reward brilliance, precision, and commitment—period
If you’re ready to shape the thoughts of a new kind of mind—step in.
It will learn because of you. It will speak because of you. And one day, it might even surprise you.
