(About us)

Your AI
Partner

You don’t need an AI partner because you lack ambition, but because AI isn’t your core focus. We bridge the gap where internal bandwidth and specialized expertise fall short.
Latitude partners with you to build the people, processes and infrastructure necessary to move beyond loose experiments and achieve true AI maturity.

(Our Value)
Core Principles
We operate on six core principles that guide everything we do, from strategy to deployment.
Business Impact First
We focus on measurable outcomes that solve real problems and move your business forward. No AI for the sake of AI. We are radical in pushing for business impact.
Fundamental Data & AI Expertise
We’re obsessed with fundamentals: data, AI, engineering, and how they serve business needs. We explain every choice in clear language.
Pragmatic for the Long Term
We keep solutions straightforward and evidence-driven. No unnecessary complexity. We build systems that are robust, scalable, and explainable, and evolve with your business instead of creating technical debt.
Strategic Understanding
We challenge assumptions and push you to define a clear AI vision. No isolated tools or ad-hoc pilots, only coherent progress toward a future-proof AI roadmap.
Fast, Focused & Iterative
We move quickly from idea to working solution, so you can learn, test, and iterate in the real world. In a space full of unknowns, you need to get your hands on something quick.
Adoption by Design
We build AI with people, not just for them. From day one, we involve end users, validate assumptions, and design for trust and usability.

Working at Latitude Amsterdam

Latitude is a strategic Data & AI consultancy that builds AI solutions for leading Dutch organizations. Our goal is to integrate AI into the core processes, systems, and decisions that define the businesses of our clients.

This means that, in addition to building solutions, we consider how they fit into our clients’ workflows, what the actual business impact is, and how we can achieve measurable ROI. Depending on the use case, this involves building RAG knowledge systems, designing agent workflows to automate internal tasks, or developing new AI-driven products. We combine this with classic analytics and data solutions where necessary. We do this for organizations such as NPO, Banijay, Talpa, the City of Amsterdam, Dayes, and Eurocommercial Properties.

We are not a recruitment or “body-shopping” agency. We build real solutions with a product mindset—sustainable for the long term, well-thought-out, and often managed by us. From the right data infrastructure to AI applications in production.

  • Experience with Agile/Scrum or similar project management methodologies.
  • Proactive and results-driven: You focus on delivering real business impact, not just ticking off deliverables.
  • Fluent in Dutch (written and spoken).

Nice-to-haves

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP).
  • Hands-on experience with code, such as data analysis, data science, or data engineering.
  • A background as a top-tier management or strategy consultant.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary & bonus structure
  • The opportunity to build challenging AI projects for top-tier clients.
  • A high-impact role where you will be challenged to influence both business and strategy.

Who is Latitude?

Latitude is a strategic Data & AI consultancy that builds AI solutions for leading Dutch organizations. Our goal is to integrate AI into the core processes, systems, and decisions that define the businesses of our client.

We combine this with classic analytics and data solutions where necessary. We do this for organizations such as NPO, Banijay, Talpa, the City of Amsterdam, Dayes, and Eurocommercial Properties.

We are not a recruitment or “body-shopping” agency. We build real solutions with a product mindset—sustainable for the long term, well-thought-out, and often managed by us. From the right data infrastructure to AI applications in production.

A few examples of use cases:

  • An advanced RAG solution used by 100+ FTE.
  • An AI/LLM solution for a daily TV talk show.
  • A project for the City of Amsterdam that will reach all residents.
  • Marketing impact/ROI analytics for one of the largest Dutch streaming platforms.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior/Staff AI Engineer who thinks about how AI solutions should be built and then actually realizes them together with colleagues. You take ownership from architecture to deployment, while supporting our engineers with technical guidance, code reviews, and architectural discussions.

Additionally, you will work directly with our business team, using your technical lens to consider how solutions fit into the client’s workflows, what the business value is, and how we can maximize ROI.

This is not a management role. You will remain hands-on in building. However, you are the technical anchor who helps make decisions, ensures quality, and elevates the team to the next level.

  • You will primarily work on client projects where you make an impact by:
  • Designing and building solutions architecture for complex AI applications.
  • Thinking strategically about how solutions add value to the business.
  • Providing technical leadership within project teams.
  • Collaborating on the best approach for new use cases, with an eye for ROI and feasibility.
  • Leading code reviews and architectural discussions with other engineers.
  • Taking end-to-end responsibility—from design to production.

What do you bring?

Must-haves:

  • 5+ years of experience in MLOps, data engineering, or similar roles.
  • At least 1 year of direct hands-on experience with LLMs or GenAI applications.
  • Strong Python development skills, especially in frameworks like FastAPI, LangChain, or similar.
  • Experience building production-grade LLM pipelines (RAG, embeddings, vector stores, multi-agent systems) and a basic familiarity with agentic AI tools and workflow orchestration.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud deployment (Azure preferred, AWS is also good), including containers or serverless services.
  • Experience setting up data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows.
  • Ability to make architectural decisions and explain/defend them.
  • Startup mindset: resourceful, curious, iterative, and willing to wear multiple hats.

Fluent in Dutch.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with multimodal AI (vision, audio)—though text-based LLMs are our primary focus.
  • MLOps experience: CI/CD for ML, model monitoring, experiment tracking.
  • Understanding of LLM behavior evaluation and guardrail implementation.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, AWS CDK).
  • Previous experience in consultancy or client-facing environments.

What makes you successful?

  • You are enthusiastic about LLMs and AI and actively stay up to date with new developments.
  • You have a product mindset and think about long-term sustainability and maintainability.
  • You can explain technical concepts clearly to both engineers and clients.
  • You think in terms of business value and ROI—not just “what is technically possible” but “what does this deliver.”
  • You understand how technology fits into work processes and can brainstorm impact with stakeholders.
  • You enjoy helping other engineers grow and are not afraid to share your knowledge.
  • You are pragmatic; you know when something is “good enough” and when further optimization is required.
  • There is a strong cultural fit, and you complement our team and way of working.

What does the job look like?

  • Working on impactful client projects at industry-leading organizations.
  • Technical and strategic leadership—from architecture to business impact.
  • Helping shape the technical direction of Latitude.
  • Direct collaboration with co-founders, engineers, and clients.
  • Hybrid setup: at least 2 days per week at our office in Amsterdam Oost.
  • A fast-moving, educational environment with real responsibility and room to grow.

What do you get in return?

  • Competitive salary & bonus structure
  • 25 vacation days.
  • We encourage and facilitate continuous learning—with a budget for conferences, courses, or other relevant development.
  • Working with a small, driven team with significant responsibility and growth opportunities.
  • The opportunity to grow alongside the technical development of the company.
