Togetherwe build one platform: contract management plus AI that reads and analyses legaldocuments. It runs in production and is used daily by hundreds of customers.\nWe are looking for an AI/ML Engineer to own the AI layer of that platform: retrieval,orchestration, the prompts and models behind document comparison, clause extraction,redrafting and anonymisation, and the evaluation that tells us whether it works. Much ofthat knowledge sits with external partners today. Your job is to bring it in-house and buildon it.\nWhy this role\nOur users make decisions based on what the system returns. A hallucination is a risk. Amissed clause is a problem for a lawyer.\nThe foundations are there: multi-tenant setup, RAG, document comparison,anonymisation, a growing customer base. What is missing is one person who understandsevery pipeline end to end, measures quality, and decides when a new model or approachis worth it. You work in one product and development team across Contractify and Legile,with one backlog, next to the full-stack engineers who take your work to production.\nWhat does your day look like?\nRetrieval: how the platform finds the right passages in large volumes of legal text:chunking and embedding strategies, vector and hybrid search that handles cross-references and defined terms. Target: recall above 85% and latency under 500 ms onmore than 10,000 Belgian legal documents.\n\nOrchestration and agents: the workflows that chain LLM steps for documentcomparison, clause extraction, redrafting and anonymisation, plus a multi-agent setupthat monitors legal and regulatory changes and alerts only when it matters.\n\nDomain-specific models: build annotated legal datasets with our in-house legalexperts, using as little of their time as possible, and use them to test and adapt modelsfor clause comparison, citation accuracy and multi-turn Q&A. Decide with data whenfine-tuning beats prompting.\n\nPrompts and models: version and test the prompts and model settings behind each pipeline. Evaluate new models and decide when to switch.\n\nEvaluation: build the evaluation setup for retrieval quality, hallucination detection and regression testing on real documents, so \"is the AI getting better?\" has a number behind it.\n\nDocument understanding and integrations: OCR and layout analysis, structured extraction, anonymisation of personal data before it reaches a model, and a plugin architecture that connects the AI layer to several document management systems.\n\nPredictive compliance (R&D): explore whether contract data, a graph database and time-series models can flag compliance risks early.\n\nInternal AI agents: we are building agents and automations for our own sales, marketing and customer success teams with an external partner. You are the technical owner on our side: where they run, how they are secured, and how they keep running once the partner steps back.\n\nKnowledge: take over the AI/ML knowledge from our external partners, document it, and be the person the team turns to for LLM, retrieval and evaluation questions.\n\nAI-native development: you use AI coding tools daily for coding, requirements and tests. The team is being coached on this; you help build the shared assets (skills,guardrails, agent workflows) and keep them up to date afterwards.\n\nWhat do we offer you?\nA competitive salary package\n\nReal R&D, partly funded by Flemish innovation grants (VLAIO)\n\nA live product with real users: your work is visible from day one\n\nOwnership of the AI core: your choices on retrieval, orchestration and evaluation\n\nshape the roadmap\n\nIn-house legal experts who validate what the AI produces\n\nHybrid work from our Ghent offices and home work\n\nLearning budget: conferences, courses, certifications\n\nPart of a larger technology group, with the network and career options that come with it.\n\nRequirements\nWhat are we looking for?\nYour technical skills\n3+ years building LLM-based applications, retrieval systems or NLP for real users, with strong Python\n\nHands-on RAG experience: chunking, embeddings, vector search (pgvector or similar),\n\nhybrid search, re-ranking\n\nAn LLM orchestration or agent framework, and a view on when not to use one\n\nExperience evaluating AI systems: retrieval metrics, hallucination detection, regression sets\n\nAt home in a production codebase: Git, PR reviews, tests, Docker, cloud\n\nYou use AI coding tools daily and can show how they make you faster without lowering quality\n\nYour soft skills\nYou are pragmatic about AI. You can read a paper on retrieval and have a working version running the same week, then measure whether it helped.\n\nWhen someone says \"the AI sometimes gets this wrong\", you build the test set before youbtouch the prompt. You have opinions on prompts, models and evaluation, and changebthem when the data says so.\n\nYou don't need to be a lawyer, but legal text should interest you rather than put you off.\n\nYour degree\nMaster's in Computer Science or AI, or equivalent experience\n\nYour language skills\nEnglish\n\nNederlands","description_format":"text","description_chars":5074,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Custom Software Development","Investment Holding Companies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T13:16:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/anchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/anchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T14:52:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30965,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":697264},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=697264"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fanchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fanchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fanchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/anchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fanchr-aiml-engineer-contractify-legile"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3964053}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"anchrsoftware.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3964053},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
