TomTom
Software Engineering, Data Science
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Posted on Nov 11, 2025
We are searching for a senior / mid-senior Machine Learning Engineer, with a very strong foundation in MLOPs and demonstratable expertise in setting up unstructured data pipelines. In this role, you will support the development of perception models by driving their efficient data, training and inference lifecycles. This includes setting up frameworks, pipelines for large scale data ingestion, curation, rapid model training iterations, setting up model zoo and productionization of models that initially run off-line in the cloud and transition on-line in dedicated hardware on TomTom vehicles. These models will transform diverse sensor data into road feature observations that power TomTom maps.
What you'll do:
- Develop and implement scalable data pipelines and infrastructure for computer vision and machine learning workflows.
- Build distributed training and evaluation pipelines that streamline the end-to-end model development lifecycle.
- Optimize and improve the performance of existing CV and/or ML solutions, making them performant and production ready.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams of Applied Scientists to integrate perception algorithms into production systems.
- Implement CI/CD processes for training, testing, and deployment of machine learning models.
- Evaluate and recommend frameworks, libraries, and tools suitable for embedded deployment of perception models.
- Drive the technical decisions to improve engineering, test, and operational excellence best practices.
- Be involved in every phase of the project lifecycle, from gathering requirements to designing, coding, testing, and integrating solutions.
What you'll need:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, and 5 years of experience in modern programming languages such as Python.
- Strong understanding of cloud computing platforms such as Azure and DataBricks.
- Proficient in deploying applications using containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and tooling.
- Solid understanding of computer science principles, including object-oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, and complexity analysis.
- In-depth knowledge of professional software engineering practices across the full software development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and operations.
- Experience designing detailed component-level system architectures and evaluating technical trade-offs.
- 1-2 years of experience in image processing and/or machine learning, preferably in geospatial applications.
- Preferred (not mandatory): familiarity with embedded ML deployment frameworks and accelerators such as TensorRT, TFLite, or NVIDIA SDK Manager.
- Comfortable with both written and verbal communication in English.
- This position is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Therefore, we can only accept candidates that already live in or are in the process of relocating to this area.
