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.
Candidates specialized in other areas within Data & AI, besides MLE-MLOps, are also encouraged to apply.
The process involves matching you with your first project at a company of your choice and guiding you through each step of establishing your freelance consultancy career, all 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 desired work-life balance and freelance working style.
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 employment benefits.
After one year, you will be ready to start on your own without Startup Accelerator.
The role involves cloud engineering projects focused on robotics and sustainability, professionalizing the data platform and data science applications, utilizing both batch and streaming data from various data sources and products.
You will work within a Data & AI Competence Centre alongside Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Cloud/Platform Engineers, and other Machine Learning/MLOps Engineers.
The position includes transforming existing products into more data-driven cloud solutions and further developing the data platform with advanced automated data-driven technologies.
New use cases are continuously defined to stimulate innovation within the company, and you will be a part of this process.
