Senior Forward Deployed Engineer Sia • Full-time • Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands • 7h geleden Company Description Sia is a next-generation, global management consulting group. Founded in 1999, we were born digital. Today our strategy and management capabilities are augmented by data science, enhanced by creativity and driven by responsibility. We're optimists for change and we help clients initiate, navigate and benefit from transformation. We believe optimism is a force multiplier, helping clients to mitigate downside and maximize opportunity. With expertise across a broad range of sectors and services, our 3,000 consultants serve clients worldwide from 48 locations in 19 countries. Our expertise delivers results. Our optimism transforms outcomes. Job Description Most GenAI never leaves the demo. We hire for the people who get it into production, and into daily use.

You quickly grasp a client's operational challenges, design a tailored response, deploy it, and bring teams along in the transformation. You will operate at the intersection of Data Science, ML/Platform Engineering, and client delivery, helping customers find the right level of sophistication, semantic search, RAG, agents, or fine-tuning, deliver measurable ROI in the most cost-effective way. Beyond crafting prompts, you will design and build robust, scalable products: benchmarking candidate Foundation Models across the model stack (from GPT-x, Claude, and Gemini to edge models like Mistral), rapidly iterating prototypes, and validating ideas directly with users using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and pgvector. We work closely with leading technology partners including Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Databricks, and AWS. In practice ...
