Medior Fullstack Engineer

Amsterdam – As a Medior Full-Stack Engineer, you create impact every day by building the foundations of our innovative Generative AI platform. You bring value behind the scenes by developing reliable, scalable and secure AI technology. Read on for more information! 

What will you be doing?
You develop the core services of DPG Media’s GenAI Platform — APIs, data pipelines and integrations that enable teams across the company to safely and effectively use Generative AI at scale. You work mainly in Python, while bridging into TypeScript when needed, connecting backend services and API layers. You think in data: embeddings, retrieval quality, structured data integration and data lineage are part of your mindset, because the platform’s value comes from linking AI to DPG’s own content and knowledge.
Without your work, our AI innovation cannot scale reliably across DPG Media.

You will:

• 4+ years experience in a similar role 

• Build core services in Python (FastAPI or equivalent) with robust data validation (Pydantic or similar)

• Work with TypeScript (NestJS, Express or equivalent) to integrate backend services and API layers

• Design and deliver REST APIs for consumption by multiple teams

• Work with PostgreSQL/SQL using both ORMs and raw queries

• Create and maintain data pipelines, ETL processes and structured data integrations

Who are we?
We are the GenAI & Innovation team at DPG Media. We make Generative AI accessible, reliable and compliant for all teams within our organisation. We work openly, inclusively and collaboratively, with documentation-first practices and room for practical pairing. We think in data, not just in code.

What makes you the ideal candidate?
We are looking for a driven full-stack engineer with strong data affinity and an interest in AI innovation. You are analytical, precise and collaborative. You also bring:

• Strong Python skills (FastAPI or equivalent) and experience with data validation frameworks such as Pydantic

• Proficiency in TypeScript (NestJS, Express or equivalent) – able to read, contribute and extract

• Solid SQL knowledge – capable of writing raw queries and working with ORMs

• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs

• Experience with data pipelines, ETL or integration

Nice to have:

• Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines

• Familiarity with vector databases (Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate or equivalent)

• Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Airflow or equivalent)

• Experience with AWS services (S3, Bedrock or other AI services)

• Understanding of embeddings, chunking strategies or NLP fundamentals

At DPG Media we welcome talent from all parts of society. Regardless of your background, we encourage you to apply for this role. The differences between colleagues lead to surprising insights and innovative solutions – something that suits us perfectly as an organisation. We look forward to hearing who you are, and which qualities and experience you bring.
