AI Solution Engineer

HEMA is reshaping work using AI. Many great ideas are emerging from this, and you ensure they actually become a reality. In your first year, you will primarily work with the Product Owners and IT analysts of our Digital team, and with the planners from Supply Chain Planning. You build skills and agents in Claude, apps in Lovable, and flows in Power Automate. Quickly moving from idea to first working version, and then improving it until colleagues use it every day. You are not just building, but working closely with colleagues to clarify what we need to build and in what way to make as much impact as possible. Building is one side; keeping it manageable is the other. You work according to clear standards (documentation, testing, version control) and you hand over applications to the team so that they own them. You create reusable building blocks so that the next application goes faster. And you choose for yourself what takes priority, based on what it delivers. That also means saying no occasionally: after six months, quite a few applications will already be running, and you won't become a helpdesk. You are also the go-to person for other builders at HEMA. The AI Transformation Specialists in the departments and our 'AI Champions' can come to you for a review or to build something together. Does an application become too large or business-critical? Then you hand it over to colleagues from Digital. You work in the central AI team, together with the AI Lead, several AI Business Consultants, and an AI Adoption Specialist.

You have a technical foundation. Perhaps you studied software engineering, but you consciously chose work closer to the business. You are pragmatic and sound: preferring a simple solution that is used over a beautiful one that sits on a shelf, but built in such a way that someone else can manage it. You dare to say no and set priorities, and you seek alignment when there is friction. You are curious about new tools, without chasing every hype. And you explain technology without jargon.Furthermore, you bring:
