About this role
Applied AI / Agentic Engineer Crunch Analytics Software Engineering, Data Science Rotterdam, Netherlands Posted on Jul 12, 2026 Job description Are you an engineer who's seen enough agent demos and wants to put one to work? Crunch builds the data-driven companies of tomorrow. And tomorrow, a fair chunk of the analytical work in those companies gets done by agents: answering questions, monitoring operations, flagging problems before a human would have spotted them. We are looking for the person who builds those agents. The ones that survive contact with real data, real users, and real Mondays. That means engineering discipline first, and hype tolerance of exactly zero. As an Applied AI / Agentic Engineer , you build AI systems on top of the data platforms we run for our clients. Think conversational BI that doesn't just answer questions but knows which questions to keep asking. Think agents that watch a supply chain across sales, planning, and operations, and speak up when something drifts. You know that a good agent is 20% model and 80% engineering: tools, context, evaluation, guardrails. You also know when the honest answer is "this shouldn't be an agent, it should be a query." In your role, you work at the sharpest edge of what we sell, which means what you build one month becomes what we demo the next. What will be part of your responsibilities? - Design and build LLM-powered applications and agents on client data: conversational BI, monitoring agents, decision-support tools; - Connect agents to the data layer properly: semantic layers, tool interfaces, structured context. No prompt-and-pray; - Build evaluation and monitoring so we know an agent works, instead of hoping it does; - Turn prototypes into production systems together with our data engineers; - Keep up with a field that changes monthly, separate signal from noise, and share what actually matters with the team; - Demo your work to clients and prospects.
