Functieomschrijving

This role is for a Research Engineer specialising in AI systems powered by Large Language Models. The goal is to design and build multi-agent AI systems, essentially, AI "teams" that can collaborate, debate, and solve complex problems together.

The engineer will:


  • Develop and test AI agents that can handle reasoning, teamwork, and creativity.

  • Use frameworks like LangChain to develop, test, and deploy AI agents.

  • Improve how agents use knowledge (through tools like RAG - Retrieval Augmented Generation) so they stay accurate and avoid "hallucinations"

  • Keep up with the latest AI research and bring new ideas into the company.

  • Work with data scientists and engineers to integrate these systems into real products.

  • Measure how well the AI agents work and continuously refine them.




Overall, the role combines research, software development, and applied machine learning, with a strong emphasis on LLMs and agent-based systems.


Education & Background for the Research Engineer LLM :




  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or NLP.



  • Strong academic foundation in deep learning, computational linguistics, or applied ML.




Technical ExperienceLLM & Multi-Agent Systems :


  • Direct, hands-on experience in building agents or multi-agent AI systems using Large Language Models (LLMs).

  • Knowledge of agent orchestration frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex.

  • Familiarity with agent collaboration methods (debate, cooperative reasoning, creative problem-solving)




Programming & Frameworks :


  • Proficiency in Python

  • Experience with ML/DL libraries such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.

  • Skilled in debugging, model prototyping, and performance optimisation




Deep Learning & NLP Knowledge :


  • Strong grasp of Transformers, GPT models, and BERT-like architectures.

  • Understanding of model fine-tuning, transfer learning, and prompt engineering.

  • Familiarity with NLP tasks: information retrieval, summarisation, question-answering.




Data & Knowledge Systems :


  • Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS).

  • Knowledge graphs for reasoning and structured data use.

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to ground LLMs in factual data.




Research & Innovation :


  • Academic publications, conference presentations

  • Ability to evaluate, benchmark, and iteratively optimise AI systems.
