Als AI Platform Engineer word jij de spin in het web die ervoor zorgt dat onze software engineers en systemen veilig gebruik kunnen maken van lokale taalmodellen, geavanceerde multi-agent netwerken en systemen voor contextgebaseerde informatie-ophaling. Omdat we geen gebruik kunnen maken van publieke cloud-API's, bouwen, hosten en beheren we alles zélf on-premise op onze eigen high-performance GPU-clusters.\nKey Responsibilities\nBeheer van AI-Containerapplicaties: Je bent verantwoordelijk voor het deployen, updaten en onderhouden van cruciale AI-hulpprogramma's en developer-tools binnen de on-premise container-orkestratieplatforms. Je zorgt voor optimale performance, resource-allocatie en hoge beschikbaarheid voor de development teams.\n Air-Gapped RAG & Codebase Infrastructure: Je bouwt en onderhoudt de on-premise Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) infrastructuur. Je zorgt dat applicaties via lokale data-pijplijnen, tekst-segmentatie (chunking) en vector-indexering veilig en razendsnel context kunnen ophalen uit onze interne codebases.\nOn-Premise Model Routing & Lifecycle: Je richt de tooling in voor lokale model-serving en helpt bij het bouwen van een flexibele routing-laag. Hierdoor kunnen applicaties binnen het afgesloten netwerk dynamisch schakelen tussen verschillende lokale modellen op basis van de complexiteit van de specifieke taak.\n Agent Orchestration & Tooling: Je ondersteunt het opzetten van lokale raamwerken voor multi-agent systemen (zoals gespecialiseerde code-, architectuur- en debugging-agents). Je helpt bij het integreren van lokale geheugensystemen en interfaces waarmee agents externe tools kunnen aanroepen.\n Air-Gapped Observability: Je implementeert monitoring- en tracing-dashboards die volledig lokaal binnen het netwerk draaien. Je meet hiermee het token-verbruik, de verwerkingstijd (latency) en infrastructuurkosten per team of gebruiker, zonder dat er data naar buiten lekt.\n Strikte AI Safety & Security Rails: Samen met onze security-experts implementeer je harde vangrails en beveiligingsinfrastructuren om kwaadwillige invoer (prompt-injecties) te voorkomen en te garanderen dat agents zich strikt houden aan datacompartimentering en autorisatieniveaus.\nRequired Skills & Qualifications\nErvaring met On-Premise & DevOps: Goede ervaring met Linux-omgevingen, containerisatie en container-orkestratie in een on-premise datacenter-setting.\n Software Engineering: Sterke programmeervaardigheden in Python (ervaring met andere systeemtalen of scripting is een pre) en ervaring met het bouwen en integreren van lokale API's.\n GenAI Interesse & Conceptuele Kennis: Je begrijpt de theorie achter vector-indexering, embeddings en de werking van grote taalmodellen (LLM's). Je hebt hier bij voorkeur al op hobbymatige of projectmatige basis mee geëxperimenteerd met open-source middelen.\nTalen: Uitstekende beheersing van zowel de Nederlandse als Engelse taal in woord en geschrift.\n Veiligheidsonderzoek: Aangezien je werkt aan defensie-gerelateerde projecten, is het succesvol doorlopen van een nationale veiligheidsscreening (Verklaring van Geen Bezwaar) een vereiste.\nWat Thales biedt\nEen unieke kans om te pionieren met state-of-the-art GenAI-technologie in een high-security enterprise-omgeving.\nEen flexibele hybride werkomgeving met een gezonde balans tussen thuiswerken en samenwerken op het High Tech Systems Park in Hengelo.\nUitstekende arbeidsvoorwaarden volgens de CAO Metalelektro, waaronder een zeer competitief salaris en 40 vakantiedagen per jaar (27 vakantiedagen + 13 ADV-dagen).\nRuimte en budget om jezelf verder te ontwikkelen tot een expert in AI-infrastructuur.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4187,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Identity Management","Satellite Manufacturing","Electronic Warfare","Avionics & Flight Control"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T12:27:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":48,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/thales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/thales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T09:16:03Z","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":20110,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":143},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=143"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fthales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fthales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2"},{"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/thales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthales-group-ai-platform-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3803249}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"thalesgroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3803249},"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.
