Hardware, software, models, spatial, presence and data. No black boxes.
CAREERS / SIMULATINGMACHINES + SIMLABS
Build AI people walk up to.
SimulatingMachines is a small Amsterdam team putting agentic representatives on real floors: airports, stores, stadiums, clinics and events. We are hiring five senior people to own whole layers of the chain, from the models and the machines to the customers they serve.

WHY THIS TEAM / WHY NOW
Small team. Whole machine.
Most AI teams own a slice. Here you own a layer: the models, the data, the mobile surfaces, the commercial motion or the experience itself. We build our own hardware, train our own models, reconstruct venues in 3D and ship digital humans people actually talk to. Your work stands in public within weeks, and you get to watch strangers use it.
€7,500 to €11,000 per month, depending on experience, plus founding-team equity and profit sharing. We are a startup; you own part of what you build.
You work with both founders directly. Decisions take a conversation, not a committee.
Hybrid by default, on real venue floors when the work needs it.
OPEN ROLES / FIVE SEATS
Own a layer of the machine.
Every role is senior, hands-on and accountable for a visible part of the product. Every role pays €7,500 to €11,000 per month, depending on experience, with founding-team equity and profit sharing on top. Open the role for the full brief: the work, the stack and the bar.
