As a Data Engineer, you will develop AI functionalities that transform large amounts of greenhouse cultivation data into concrete, actionable insights for growers. You will design scalable LLM solutions, bring them into production, and support the data science team in transitioning from predictive analytics to Generative AI. In doing so, you will work closely with product and software development teams and contribute to further professionalizing AI and MLOps at LetsGrow.com. Your key responsibilities will include:

• 
  
• Collaborating on Generative AI and LLM solutions, such as conversational interfaces and advisory features.

• Assisting in deploying and monitoring models in production and applying MLOps principles.
  
• Working together with product, software development, and data scientists on practical AI features.
  
• Learning from the experienced team and helping to further professionalize AI within LetsGrow.com.
  

LetsGrow.com has been the independent platform for over 20 years, providing growers, cultivation advisors, and suppliers worldwide with real-time insight into cultivation data. What does this mean in practice? Modern greenhouses are full of sensors producing huge amounts of valuable data on temperature, CO2, humidity, and more. We make this data understandable and actionable so that growers can optimize plant growth. Our work helps them make the right decisions for profitable and sustainable cultivation, resulting in delicious, eco-friendly, and affordable tomatoes on your plate.

You will join a young, dynamic, international team where English is the working language. Colleagues actively support each other across projects, bringing a mix of skills and experience. With talent from diverse backgrounds, genders, and cultures, we are an energetic and balanced team where collaboration, learning, and growth are central. LetsGrow.com also organizes team outings to ensure everyone feels at home – last year, for example, we took a boat trip to London and host a monthly paddle competition. Personal development is important to us, and you will have opportunities to attend courses and training to expand your knowledge.

You are a true team player and communicate openly. You also recognize yourself in the following:

• 
  
• Around 2 years of experience with Python and working with LLMs.
  
• Experience with data engineering concepts (ETL, data pipelines) is a plus.
  
• Willingness to learn new tools and technologies (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face, Azure AI).
  
• Analytical, eager to learn, and collaborative.
  
• Interest in data-driven solutions and the horticulture sector; prior experience in horticulture is not required;
  
• A valid work permit for the Netherlands is required; LetsGrow.com is not a sponsoring company.
