How we work
We build AI for our customers, not for its own sake. Every project starts from a clear benefit to the people using Gain, and ideas without one don't get built, however interesting the technology. If that's how you like to work, you'll fit in well. Model choices follow the evals. We don't commit to one LLM provider; we measure, and use whichever model gives our customers the best results.
What will you do?
The work is roughly half LLM agents and half custom ML, leaning slightly toward agents.
- Build and improve agents that find company data points on the web using search, page navigation and structured extraction tools, and that weigh conflicting sources before committing to an answer.
- Develop, improve and retrain the models that predict company financials such as revenue and EBITDA, and the likelihood and timing of buy and sell events.
- Design and maintain evaluation suites, both offline against reference sets and live in production, so we can measure quality and switch between LLM providers to balance output quality and cost.
- Ship your work into our production services, trace where pipelines fail, and fix the weakest links first.
- Design with resources in mind. Our engineering team runs the infrastructure, but you choose solutions with their compute, memory, bandwidth and model costs in view.
By month six you'll know each of our agent pipelines end to end, how to evaluate them and where they most need improving. You'll also know our custom ML models well enough to improve them or retrain them on new data.
Who are you?
- At least 3 years of building both custom ML models and LLM-based pipelines or agents, with work that ran in production rather than only in demos.
- Solid modelling fundamentals: feature engineering, validation that holds up on new data, and knowing when a model needs retraining.
- A habit of measuring before claiming. You can build an evaluation set and tell an honest improvement from a lucky one.
- Strong Python, including async code.
Nice to have: experience with noisy or conflicting data sources and financial or private-company data.
The stack
- Core: Python (async, fully typed with Pydantic) and FastAPI
- LLMs: multiple providers behind our own provider-agnostic layer, with Pydantic AI for typed agents. We add new models when they prove themselves on our evals.
- Web data: agents that gather data points through web search, page navigation and structured extraction tools
- Database: PostgreSQL with pgvector
- Evals and observability: Pydantic Evals and Logfire
- Cloud and tooling: GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Tasks), Docker, GitHub Actions
What do we offer?
- Competitive base salary and annual bonus linked to your performance / OKRs
- Attractive benefits including health & wellbeing allowance, work-from-home budget, learning & coaching benefits, etc.
- Flexible hybrid working model with 3 days per week in our Amsterdam office

- Tremendous learning and career progression opportunities
- International environment with hubs in New York, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Warsaw, and Bangalore
- Culture of trust, ownership and standard of excellence and a fun working atmosphere with regular outings and events
