Machine Learning Placement

Every hire so far has been referred by someone already on the team. Funding comes from a Series A and two government grants. We started in 1979 and have grown to about 38 people.

Overview:

Remote ML internship focused on real company data, not Kaggle datasets. Most of the time goes into cleaning data and checking whether a model actually helps. You can work from home anywhere in Belgium. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you'll do:

• Run exploratory analysis and write up what you find in a Jupyter notebook
• Engineer features from transaction, text or event data
• Pull data from BigQuery or PostgreSQL with SQL queries
• Package a trained model behind a simple FastAPI endpoint for testing
• Train baseline models with scikit-learn and compare them against simple rules
• Label and review samples of training data to check quality

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period
• Based in Belgium for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027
• Eligible to work in Belgium
• Laptop with 8 GB RAM or more and a stable internet connection (no GPU needed, we provide cloud compute)
• A GitHub repo or Kaggle notebook showing at least one ML project end to end
• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science or a related field, graduating in 2026 or 2027
• Clear written English, since most discussions happen in docs and Slack threads
• Strong Python, including pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib
• Coursework or projects in machine learning, such as regression, classification and clustering

Preferred:

• Knowledge of NLP or computer vision basics
• Some work with LLM APIs, embeddings or retrieval
• Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow

Duration: 5 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: €1,700 - €1,800 monthly

What we offer:

• Possibility of a full-time offer
• Flexible hours
• Letter of recommendation

Let us know your current notice period and salary expectations.

Duration: 5 months. Start: Immediately.
