col-wideJob Description:
Are you obsessed with the possibilities of the emerging fields of artificial intelligence? Do you believe we can design & develop our own futures? Are you proactive and passionate?
We're looking for an experiencedData Engineer (medior)who has a talent for problem solving, a keen interest in technology, and wants to help deliver real world solutions.
Who are we?
We are theDEUS initiative, and we are all about exploring AI in the service of humanity. No, we are not calling ourselves gods(!), but our name is a reference to 'deus ex machina' (or god from the machine in Latin). We believe that artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, computer vision and natural language processing will have a massive impact on the way we live, and we want to make sure that we create a positive impact on the world with these AI services.
As a happy coincidence,DEUSis also an acronym representing the quadrivium of key disciplines we believe are important to building successful AI-powered services:Data /Engineering /User-experience design /Strategy.
DEUS is a new initiative, but the founders have been working together very successfully for years, so there is a comfortable family feel to the company. We have an amazing set of international client partnerships (and projects/challenges). Our headquarters is located in the heart of the city centre of Amsterdam at the Brouwersgracht. We also have a team in Portugal that is based out of the beautiful city of Porto with an office close to the beach, and our Spanish team is based out of the charming center of A Coruña!

Together with the data science team we look to optimise existing processes and setup new ones.
You'll join a small but fast-growing engineering team (the E in DEUS), responsible for the technical aspects of various AI projects. Some examples of tasks would be setting up a data warehouse, extracting, transforming and loading data, and above all task automation. You will also collaborate closely with the other teams to conceptualise, and most of all to make things happen.

We are dedicated to making a friendly and inclusive workplace.

We fundamentally believe in flexibility, and you will be given a lot of freedom while translating complicated problems into easy-to-use products.
