DevOps & AI Engineer: Shaping the Future of Customer Service at Rabobank

Are you passionate about the intersection of data quality and conversational AI? At Rabobank in Utrecht, we’re on a mission to redefine how customers interact with financial services, and we’re looking for a talented AI Engineer to help us build the next generation of GenAI assistants.

About the Role

We believe that the future of banking lies in AI agents that provide personalized, accurate, and reliable support. To make this happen, we need to bridge the gap between complex enterprise data and seamless AI interactions. You will be a key player in our Conversational AI team, ensuring our assistants aren't just smart, but truly grounded and trustworthy.

You’ll work in a hybrid setup where we prioritize collaboration and team spirit. While we coordinate our work-from-home schedule throughout the week, we gather every Monday in our Utrecht office to brainstorm, innovate, and enjoy the collaborative energy of our Digital & Customer Interaction Tribe.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Data Stewardship: You’ll work within a scrum team to curate, structure, and validate enterprise data, turning it into the high-quality fuel our AI models need.
  • Pipeline Engineering: You’ll build and maintain robust Databricks pipelines to process both structured and unstructured data.
  • Rigorous Testing: You’ll implement evaluation frameworks—from simple single-turn checks to complex, agentic scenarios—to ensure our bots are ready for prime time.
  • Infrastructure Ownership: Using Azure Bicep and CI/CD pipelines, you’ll manage cloud infrastructure with a "you build it, you run it" mentality.
  • Continuous Improvement: By analyzing evaluation results, you’ll identify areas to refine knowledge, retrieval strategies, and prompt engineering.

Practical Details

  • Duration: Starting as soon as possible through August 31, 2027 (with an option to extend).
  • Location: Utrecht (Hybrid).
  • Note: We are looking for 1 FTE. Please note that this role is not open to ZZP (freelance) candidates.
  • Application Requirements: Please ensure your motivation clearly highlights how your experience aligns with our needs. Be sure to mention any planned vacations, and if you have a history with Rabobank, include an internal reference (name and job title of your previous lead).

We move fast—we may close the vacancy early if we find the right match, so we look forward to receiving your application by November 13, 2026, at 10:00.

  • The AI Mindset: You understand the nuances of RAG applications, Agentic AI, and Context Engineering.
