AI Techlead
ABN AMRO Bank · Amsterdam
What they look for
We don't hire on CV titles. We hire on what you've shipped and what you've led. The team includes people who came through software engineering, data science, infra — what they share is proven AI expertise and a bias for building over theorising. As a tech lead, you bring the same plus the ability to take an ambiguous problem and a group of strong engineers and turn it into something running in production.
What you've done:
- Led the technical side of AI or software initiatives end-to-end: you've owned the architecture, made the hard calls, and shipped.
- Built and deployed AI applications using LLMs, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, voice AI, or equivalent (at production scale, with real users).
- Written Python that runs in production: you're a developer, not a notebook user, and you still enjoy writing the code.
- Worked with cloud infrastructure: Azure preferred, AWS or GCP also fine.
- Operated inside a complex organisation (or built the muscle elsewhere) and got things done across teams, not just within one.
How you work:
- You take ambiguous problems, set a direction, and bring people with you (without waiting for permission).
- You have strong technical opinions, formed through experience, and you're willing to defend them and change them.
- You're as interested in the business problem as in the technical solution.
- You explain your decisions clearly to people who don't share your context (engineers, business, leadership).
- You follow the GenAI field closely because you're genuinely curious, not because you have to.
- You've built something on the side (a tool, a project, a contribution) that shows you don't wait to be told what to learn.
