This allows teams to ship in weeks what conventional teams ship in a quarter. - **Dual Research/Applied Model**: The company does frontier AI alignment research alongside production AI work, allowing engineers to move between research and applied projects. This creates a unique learning environment. - **Internal Startup Incubation**: When client work or internal research surfaces a real opportunity, AE team members can found startups internally with founder-level equity, often with a first customer already lined up. - **Senior-First Culture**: Described as ~150 senior professionals — not a junior-heavy consultancy — which means high-caliber peer learning and less hand-holding. ## Strategic Focus - **Generative AI & Hyperautomation**: The clear strategic priority is leading the GenAI transformation for Belgian enterprises, building intelligent workflows, agents, and AI-first applications. - **Product Mindset**: Moving beyond traditional consulting toward building and shipping real products, with AE QuietLoud as the product engineering arm. - **Client Embedding**: Consultants work directly within client teams through discovery, architecture, and release — not just delivering decks. - **Equity & Ownership**: Team members hold equity across client MVPs, incubated Skunkworks, and spun-out startups, aligning long-term incentives. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as having a "start-up mentality" with a focus on ownership, innovation, and speed. The company values "meebouwers" (co-builders) — people who actively think, build, and drive solutions. - **Work Model**: Strongly hybrid — 94% of roles are hybrid, 6% on-site, 0% fully remote. Offices in Heverlee, Berchem, Gent, Hasselt, and Groot-Bijgaarden. - **Engineering Environment**: - "No token caps, no access tiers, no IT queues" — engineers get the best AI tools and compute they need. - AI is embedded in the engineering workflow, not just a side project. - Real production systems for airlines, biotech companies, school systems, and enterprises. - **Career Growth**: Opportunity to move between frontier AI research and applied client work. Internal startup incubation offers a unique path to founding a company with support. - **Notable Perks**: Equity in client MVPs and internal startups; working software every Friday (applied side); direct impact on real users. ## Sources 1.
