AI Engineers - building and scaling AI solutions

At PA Consulting, we are expanding our AI team in Utrecht. We are currently looking for AI Engineers who are motivated by hands-on work with AI solutions and who want to ensure that AI creates real value for organisations across a variety of industries. 

We are looking both for AI Engineers with a few years of experience who are ready to take the next step in their careers, and for more experienced AI specialists who want to apply and further develop their technical capabilities in business-critical client projects. We are seeking colleagues with a practical, implementation-focused approach to AI and a passion for turning ideas and experiments into demonstrations and production-ready solutions for our clients. You thrive in ambiguous environments where innovation is encouraged, bringing a builder mindset and strong software engineering foundations to translate client requirements into practical technical solutions.  

You will work in multidisciplinary teams alongside data scientists, software engineers, business specialists and leaders. In this role, you will have the opportunity to: 

• Implement AI solutions in real-world settings 

• Advise clients on how AI tools can be technically matured and scaled 

• Help bridge the gap between business needs and technical solutions 

You will become part of an ambitious and curious team where learning, enthusiasm for technology and a strong sense of community are highly valued. AI is a strategic growth area for PA, and there will be significant interest in your expertise, both in client engagements and across the wider organisation. We expect you to actively share your knowledge and be able to communicate complex technical topics in a clear and accessible way, including to colleagues and clients without a technical background. 

At PA, we work across the entire AI lifecycle, from ideation and experimentation to fully implemented solutions, with a strong focus on quality, responsible AI and scalability. Projects vary, but they all share one common principle: AI is not a goal in itself, but a means of solving real business challenges for our clients. 

Your work will include: 

• Designing, developing and testing AI and Generative AI solutions to address specific business needs 

• Experimenting with and applying modern AI technologies, including LLMs, RAG architectures and agent-based solutions 

• Integrating AI models with data, APIs and existing technology landscapes, designing cloud-native solutions on major cloud service providers (such as Azure, GCP) 

• Contributing to AI architecture, quality assurance, evaluation and the responsible use of AI 

• Sharing knowledge and learning collaboratively within PA’s active AI community 

• Developing production-grade software using modern engineering practices and agile delivery methodologies 

• Designing and building robust data pipelines and data engineering architectures to support AI/LLM applications. 

You will join a supportive and highly skilled environment where you are not expected to know everything from day one, but where you will be given the opportunity to develop quickly through real projects, coaching and hands-on learning.
