About the Job

Requirements

  • Good experience with Linux environments, containerization, and container orchestration in an on-premise data-center setting.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience building and integrating local application programming interfaces.
  • Understand the theory behind vector indexing, embeddings, and how large language models work.
  • Have excellent spoken and written proficiency in both Dutch and English.
  • Successfully complete a national security screening (Verklaring van Geen Bezwaar).

Responsibilities

  • Deploy, update, and maintain critical AI utilities and developer tools within on-premise container orchestration platforms, ensuring optimal performance, resource allocation, and high availability for development teams.
  • Build and maintain on-premise Retrieval-Augmented Generation infrastructure, using local data pipelines, text chunking, and vector indexing to enable applications to retrieve context from internal codebases securely and quickly.
  • Configure tooling for local model serving and help build a flexible routing layer that allows applications to switch dynamically between local models based on task complexity.
  • Support the setup of local frameworks for multi-agent systems, including specialized coding, architecture, and debugging agents; help integrate local memory systems and interfaces for agents to invoke external tools.
  • Implement locally hosted monitoring and tracing dashboards to measure token consumption, latency, and infrastructure costs per team or user without transmitting data externally.
  • Work with security experts to implement safeguards and security infrastructure against malicious inputs such as prompt injection, ensuring agents comply with data compartmentalization and authorization levels.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with other system programming languages or scripting languages.
  • Prior hobby or project experimentation with open-source generative AI tools and concepts.
