Working at SPAIK
You build. You do not talk about building.
SPAIK is ten people who put AI into the daily work of Dutch mid-market companies. Not slide decks about what AI could do, but automations that run on Monday morning. If that is the work you want, read on.
How it is to work here
You build, you do not present
You sit on the front line, at the client, hands on the controls. No slides, no talk.
You work with the best tools
The newest AI tools, and time to learn them. You stay sharp in a field that changes weekly.
Small and sharp
Little overhead, a lot of autonomy. We do not grow for the sake of growing, and we share the profit.
A week, more or less
Not a template. But this is the shape most weeks take once an engagement is running: Monday together in the office, then two to three days on site, a demo every two weeks, and the AI lead building their own automation next to you.
What we expect
High agency is the entry requirement, not the exception. You do not just bring problems, you bring direction. The difference between “there is a problem” and “I saw a problem, found the cause and fixed it, just so you know” is the difference between someone who fits here and someone who does not.
What you can hold us to
Evidence, not promises
We show that something works before we talk about it. What it costs you: your claim does not count until you have shown it, even when you are right. If something does not work, you say so with the evidence attached, not with a summary.
Honesty is care
Clarity is a form of care. Hard on the substance, gentle on the person. What it costs you: if an arrangement costs you something, we say so. You get bad news immediately, and you get feedback with you in the room rather than afterwards through someone else.
What you get
We do not compete on the highest fixed costs. We compete on the things that matter to someone who wants to build with AI.
- Every AI tool you need for the work: Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, and more when there is a reason
- One build day a month, to build and to learn
- 25 holidays at full time, MacBook Pro with a second screen, phone plan
- A sports allowance, and a mobility choice: your own car per kilometre, a car from budget, or a mobility pass
- Result over presence. Hybrid, and working from home is always fine
Open roles
We are looking for an AI Automation Engineer who can carry a client engagement on their own, from design to delivery. The full description, including what it pays, is on its own page. Open until 1 November.
