The Opportunity
You’ll join the Prosus AI Team where we're building AI systems that solve real problems at scale. As Staff Engineer for AI development at our Amsterdam headquarters, you'll develop platforms that serve our global portfolio companies.
Your main project: creating a platform for AI employees that lets people across our network build and deploy their own AI tools. This is new territory—we need someone who enjoys solving complex, unprecedented challenges.
This role focuses on building practical, reliable solutions, not demos. You'll work in a fast-paced team, reporting to the Director of AI, to accelerate platform development.
Who You Are
You're creative, practically minded, and take ownership of your work. You build AI agents that solve user problems at scale. You work well with others, communicate openly, and welcome constructive feedback. If you're excited about advancing AI, we want to talk.
Your Typical Day
At Prosus, we’re building businesses that empower communities on a global scale. Guided by our core values, Innovation, Results, People, Impact, and Entrepreneurship, we push boundaries, encourage collaboration, and create an environment where diversity and inclusion thrive.
We improve the everyday lives of 2 billion people through the best talent: 30,000 across our owned companies and 200,000 across our group. Our brands, like iFood, OLX, PayU, Stack Overflow, and Tencent, are changing the way people live and work.
Looking ahead, we believe AI has the power to transform lives, solve real-world challenges, and unlock opportunities on an unparalleled scale. That’s why our mission is clear: to build an AI-first world that benefits billions.
We value curiosity, ownership, and resilience. We hire people who take initiative, embrace change, and bring fresh perspectives to everything they do.
