Senior Artificial Intelligence Engineer / Data scientist in Amsterdam

At a time of rapid technological change and changing customer demands, ABN AMRO is fully focused on innovation that continuously adds value for our customers. One of the driving forces and enablers behind these changes is AI. With the help of AI systems that can autonomously perform complex tasks, it becomes possible to create increasingly intelligent and personalised solutions for our customers. As ABN AMRO is expanding its use of AI, we're looking for experienced AI Developers to help build the next generation of AI use cases and products within the bank. To strengthen our team we are looking for creative and passionate AI developers with a “go get it” mentality. Our AI developers are multi-skilled and have strong machine learning, system design and coding skills that they put to use within the context of AI.

In the AI team our primary objective is to develop and deliver value adding AI solutions. We create AI enabled solutions across ABN AMRO. Our work ranges from answer suggestions for employees working in our live-chat desk (using dual-BERT models) to improved transaction reporting, document classification, information extraction and fraud detection. Our way of working is a combination of projects – where we deliver a use-case in 2-3 months – as well as creating and improving our own AI products, where we create and run central AI products long term. We are also part of Group Innovation, which means that another part of our work is focused on disruptive business model innovation. We work with our innovation ‘ventures’ to launch new business propositions along the themes of ‘sustainable innovation’, ‘digital assets’, and ‘platforms’. Within these ventures we take a broad role beyond AI, also supporting with e.g. advanced analytics.

As a AI Developer, your main goal is to develop AI systems and solutions for our initiatives and for our business lines. We take care of the full development cycle from exploring and identifying opportunities, experimenting and creating prototypes, to developing scalable products. Your activities include:

You’ll work intensively together with our ventures, and during development you’ll sometimes function as part of the team. We bring in knowledge from other departments within the bank such as product experts, legal, marketing intelligence and information security when necessary.
