Software Engineer - AI Platform

As a Software Engineer - AI Platform at Medior level, you build the software, tooling and cloud platform that enable our data scientists, analytics engineers and software developers to deliver solutions faster and more reliably. Using modern software engineering practices, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and cloud technologies, you help create a scalable platform that accelerates innovation across PostNL.

Daarom kies je als Software Engineer - AI Platform voor PostNL

Visible work: Your work and our platform is used every day by all PostNL data specialists. You develop reusable platform services, internal developer tooling and automation that simplify how data teams provision environments, deploy applications and manage cloud resources. By improving developer experience and reducing operational complexity, you help teams move from experimentation to production more efficiently to support analytics, machine learning and AI applications across logistics, sorting, customer contact and planning.

Challenge: You help develop PostNL’s new Databricks platform while keeping existing AWS-based solutions running. The challenge is to evolve platform capabilities while enabling AI and data teams to develop, deploy and operate their solutions consistently and at scale. Drawing on your understanding of the software lifecycle, you translate platform users’ needs into reusable software, platform services and automation, and explore and integrate new capabilities.

Good atmosphere: You work with colleagues who are eager to improve, help each other and enjoy trying new things. You can bring your ideas, learn from others and grow in a supportive team.

Flexibility: You work hybrid: partly from home and partly from our modern office in the historic Stationspostgebouw next to The Hague Hollands Spoor. This gives you freedom to organise your week in a way that works for you.

Development opportunities: Technology evolves quickly—and so do we. You'll work with modern cloud technologies, Infrastructure as Code, Databricks, AWS, GitHub Actions, AI development tooling and developer platform engineering practices. Through the PostNL Academy, conferences and collaboration with experienced colleagues, you'll continue developing both your technical and engineering skills.

Dit is jouw rol

You develop platform services, internal tooling and automation that make it easier for teams to build, deploy and operate reusable data and AI components. Your focus is on writing high-quality software, improving developer experience and creating reusable platform capabilities. Infrastructure as Code is a key part of your work. Using AWS CDK with typescript you automate the provisioning of cloud infrastructure and platform resources. You contribute to deployment pipelines, project templates and platform components that enable engineers to work consistently and efficiently. Using those insights, you translate engineering best practices into reusable platform capabilities, templates and automation. While you are not responsible for building AI and machine learning models yourself, you understand the lifecycle of Data Science & AI solutions and continuously improve the platform that supports them.

Using (IaC) technologies such as AWS CDK and Terraform, you help create the platforms (on AWS and Databricks) that allow engineers to focus on solving business problems instead of managing infrastructure. You work closely with the users of the platform to understand their needs and translate them into scalable platform capabilities.

Jouw collega's

You join the Data Analytics Services team within the Data Center of Excellence. The team includes Platform Software Engineers and Solution Consultants. You work closely with them, as well as with the data scientists and AI engineers who use your platforms every day. The team works in an open, collaborative and innovative way. Wednesday is our office day, when the team comes together in person to collaborate, share knowledge, and connect. Together, we combine engineering excellence, data expertise, and collaboration to make data and AI innovation accessible across PostNL.
