📋 Description

• The Role: WeTravel is launching its AI Lab, a fast-moving, experiment-driven team focused on discovering and validating new AI-powered solutions for our customers. As our first AI Engineer in the AI Lab, you will work hand-in-hand with a Product Manager to ideate, prototype, and test Agentic AI workflows that solve high-impact problems for travel organizers and our internal teams. • This role is not about maintaining existing systems, it’s about rapid experimentation, building proof-of-concepts, validating them in the real world, and handing them off to product teams for full-scale rollout. • You’ll be at the forefront of shaping WeTravel’s AI portfolio, working across all business domains, with immediate visibility into the impact of your work. • We know that AI-enabled and Agentic systems can greatly improve the work of our customers - you’ll help us find out what are the most impactful ways we can do that. • What you’ll do: • Partner with the AI Lab Product Manager to design, build, and iterate on AI prototypes — from concept to working MVPs. • Architect and deliver Agentic AI solutions such as: • Fully or partially automated Itinerary builder workflows. • AI-powered sales agents for organizers. • Automation of the top 3 most time-consuming organizer tasks. • Work autonomously to build working prototypes in isolation from the main system, enabling high-speed iteration without blocking core product teams. • Run rapid experiments — validating or disproving product hypotheses in days, not weeks. • Ensure smooth handover of validated projects to product engineering teams, including documentation, training, and technical guidance. • Stay ahead of AI trends, frameworks, and tooling to continuously improve our experimentation velocity. • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, designers, and product teams to explore and evaluate AI opportunities across the company. • Maintain a “move fast without breaking things” mindset — balancing speed with quality, stability, and compliance. • What Success Looks Like: • Delivering a steady cadence of AI experiments per quarter (launched, validated, or disproven). • Successful handover of proven AI prototypes to product teams. • Building solutions that measurably save time, increase efficiency, or improve customer experience.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience building production systems. • Strong engineering skills and proven experience in GenAI / LLM applications (i.e. built and launched LLM-enabled products to customers). • Demonstrated ability to design, build, and ship working prototypes independently. • Proven track record of rapid iteration and experimentation. • Proficiency with LLM providers and SDKs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta). • Experience with AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.) or custom-built solutions. • Ability to design and implement RAG pipelines end-to-end (ingestion, embeddings, vector stores, search, evaluation). • Knowledge of performance and cost optimization for AI workloads. • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization, and CI/CD. • Strong written and verbal communication skills. • Cross-functional collaboration experience. • Ability to mentor and train others on AI concepts. • Understanding of model training, fine-tuning, and when to apply different approaches. • Prior work on agentic AI systems. • Experience with small language models (SLMs) for latency-sensitive workloads.

🏖️ Benefits

• Full-time - Fixed Term Contract (as International Contractor). • Generous "Time to Recharge" policy — enjoy unlimited paid time off to rest, recharge, and show up as your best self. • Amsterdam Program – visit us in Amsterdam (HQ) for 2-4 weeks every year, staying in one of our WeTravel apartments. • Work remotely for a maximum of 4 weeks per calendar year. • Annual team off-site (often somewhere sunny 🌊). • Extensive paid family leave. • Three paid volunteer days per year — take time to give back to causes you care about, on us. • 2-week cross-functional onboarding program. • Cutting-edge equipment and tools to set you up for success. Coverage for certain work-from-home (WFH) equipment. • Cambly for colleagues for whom English is not their first language. • Join an international, travel-loving team with a passion for adventure and innovation.
