Are you a driven Medior/Senior Al Engineer who wants to make an impact in primary and secondary education and enjoys building scalable, innovative content generation solutions? At FutureWhiz, you’ll shape the future of our platform by leading the development of intelligent tools and features that empower content creators to deliver high-quality, engaging educational materials at scale. Want to contribute to the future of digital learning? Apply now!

For nearly 15 years, Futurewhiz has been the market leader in EdTech in the Netherlands. Our brands – including Squla and StudyGo – help children and teenagers aged 3 to 18 learn and grow at their own level and pace. Our mission is clear: "Empowering every child to grow." We’ve been a certified B Corp since 2020, which means we strive for a strong balance between purpose and profit.

As a Medior/Senior AI Engineer for FutureWhiz’s content creation team, you’ll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend services and supporting tools that enable both automated and human-in-the-loop generation of high-quality educational content. You will work closely with content creators to help them develop production-ready versions of their vibecoded apps and set up robust backend infrastructure to support their needs. You’ll work in a team of developers and content creators, collaborating more broadly with product managers, educational specialists, and other cross-functional teams.

Specifically, you will:

• Build and maintain backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines to support content creation at scale

• Assist content creators in developing, refining, and deploying their applications, ensuring production readiness

• Develop both frontend and backend code as needed, with a primary focus on backend development (Python required; React is a plus)

• Apply software architecture principles to design robust, maintainable systems; experience with CI/CD and functional programming is a plus

• Act as a coach and mentor, supporting colleagues and content creators experimenting with building their own apps for minor tasks

• Ensure code quality through best practices, tools integration, and code reviews

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, delivering effective, scalable solutions

We’re looking for a Medior/Senior AI Engineer who can think strategically and act practically. You should also resonate with the following qualities:

• Collaborative mindset, working closely with both technical and non-technical colleagues

• Proactive problem solver, able to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues efficiently

• Strong communicator, comfortable mentoring and coaching others, including non-developers

• Adaptable and eager to learn new technologies and approaches

• Passionate about building reliable, scalable systems that support educational impact

• A gross monthly salary of €4500 to €5800 (based on 40 hours, depending on experience)

• 24 vacation days, + 3 assigned days off + 1 skipping school day

• Collective pension and health insurance

• A €600 annual learning budget for your professional development

• Unlimited access to external coaches through Inuka Coaching

• Unlimited access to Goodhabitz training programs for professional and personal growth

Additionally:

• Lifetime access to StudyGo and Squla accounts

• Office next to Bijlmer Arena station

• OV business card (if you live over 7km from the office), or an electric Swapfiets

• A MacBook for work

• Payroll Giving option to contribute to a good cause

• Healthy lunches at the office, unlimited good coffee, fresh fruit, and snacks

• A Culture Crew that organizes fun activities like outings, pub quizzes, ski trips, and laser tag

We’re a passionate and diverse team, brought together by a shared mission: helping children thrive in their learning journey, and empowering them to grow through personalised education.
