Conditions and benefits

Attractive salary package, and excellent employment terms

Excellent work/life balance. Freedom to work from home or anywhere you like (and any time you like). We only have a few touchpoints

We have a strong engineering culture: think of CI/CD, experiment management, auto-scaling of clusters, well-defined coding guidelines, and more.

Dedicated time for hackathons and growth, to explore new ideas of your own. Every quarter we have a hackathon week where you can work on anything you like to expand your skill set!

Staying up to date with the latest happening in the ML field can be hard. That is why we organize monthly paper review sessions, where we discuss the latest developments in the field to stay up to date with the current state-of-the-art. Next to that we regularly hold "ML Sparring Sessions" where you can spar with other MLRs in the company on potential directions for projects you are working on.

Real training budget for books and conferences or anything else you need to grow

Work with the latest technology, at the forefront of a rapidly developing field in medical imaging AI

Loads of responsibility and autonomy (we hate micromanagement) and a chance to make a real impact

Awesome yearly company retreat, and quarterly team events

️ 32 days of annual leave

Top-notch gear, and even bigger servers to play with

️ Promaton is funded for many years to come, meaning you can have the impact you only get at a startup, but with the job security of an established company

For international engineers, based in the NL (already relocated to the Netherlands) we are able to offer visa sponsorship

Inclusive environment, we value and celebrate diversity
