Startup Accelerator offers Data & AI consultants a kickstart to become independent freelance consultants.
Since 2014, they have helped DataOps, MLOps, and GitOps professionals find enjoyable consultancy projects with companies like Heineken, KLM, ING, Vattenfall, and Randstad Group.
Each project is carefully selected based on the technical challenge, team expertise, and mutual fit.
If you specialize in another area within Data & AI besides Cloud Engineering, you are encouraged to apply.
You will be matched with your first project at a company of your choice and guided through every step of setting up your freelance consultancy career before your current employment contract ends.
Instead of a fixed salary, you can earn 75% of the hourly rate, which amounts to approximately €10,000 per month, depending on your ideal work-life balance and how you wish to work as a freelancer.
There are two freelancing options: one with all the risks of starting your own business and one without risks, where you remain on the payroll with all secondary benefits.
After one year, you will be ready to start on your own without Startup Accelerator.
Cloud Engineering projects focus on robotics and sustainability, professionalizing the cloud platform and applications, with both batch and streaming data from various data sources and products.
You will collaborate within a Data & AI Competence Centre with Data Scientists, Machine Learning/MLOps Engineers, Data Engineers, and other Cloud/Platform Engineers.
Existing products will be transformed or rebuilt into more data-driven cloud solutions, and the data platform will be further developed with advanced data-driven technologies.
New use cases will continuously be defined to stimulate innovation within the company, and you will be part of this process.
Requirements:
You must have at least 3 years of relevant work experience.

Benefits:
You will have the opportunity to choose your project.
