# AI Researcher - Agentic AI Systems
We are looking for an AI Researcher based in the Netherlands to join our partner company. This role focuses on building next-generation agentic AI systems trained on real-world interaction data at scale.
## Key Responsibilities
- Conduct advanced research on agentic AI systems trained on real-world interaction data, focusing on improving reasoning, planning, and tool use
- Design and experiment with learning frameworks such as RAG, fine-tuning, RLHF, DPO, and GRPO to enhance large-scale model performance
- Develop multimodal representation learning approaches, including joint embedding spaces across text, audio, logs, and structured data
- Improve speech and audio intelligence systems, including STT, ASR, and audio-driven learning pipelines
- Define evaluation methodologies to measure agent performance in real-world and domain-specific environments
- Translate complex behavioral and interaction signals into structured training objectives for large-scale models
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to bring research into production and iterate based on live system feedback
## Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in applied AI research or ML systems with production-level impact
- Strong expertise in large-scale machine learning, LLMs, or multimodal AI systems
- Hands-on experience with RAG systems, LLM fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning methods such as RLHF, DPO, or GRPO
- Strong background in representation learning, embeddings, and joint multimodal spaces
- Experience with speech and audio modeling, including STT, ASR, or audio signal processing
- Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch and Hugging Face
- Experience designing evaluation frameworks for LLMs or agentic systems
- Strong ability to define research hypotheses from ambiguous real-world problems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
## Benefits
- Fully remote position within a global AI research organization
- Opportunity to shape cutting-edge agentic and multimodal AI systems
- High-impact research with direct production deployment
- Collaboration with top-tier engineering and product teams
- Strong ownership over research direction and technical strategy
- Access to large-scale proprietary datasets and AI infrastructure
- Competitive compensation aligned with experience and expertise
