Hire MLOps Engineers in the Netherlands & Belgium.
MLOps engineers industrialise machine learning: CI/CD for models, monitoring, drift detection and retraining loops. As Dutch and Belgian companies move from pilots to portfolios of models, this is the role that keeps them alive. Noordt & Co. recruits MLOps engineers from Amsterdam.
How do we recruit MLOps engineers in the Netherlands and Belgium?
Every search is led by a consultant who understands the role technically. We qualify for Kubernetes-based model serving, pipeline orchestration, feature stores, monitoring and drift detection, cost control on inference, and the platform mindset to serve many teams at once. You receive a calibrated shortlist, not a resume feed, and we share our market read either way. Engagements run as permanent search, secondment or contract, and under the Dutch DBA rules secondment is often the cleanest route to senior flexible capacity.
What does the market look like in 2026?
Model industrialisation is where Benelux enterprises are stuck, so MLOps profiles trade at a clear premium over classic DevOps. LLMOps skills, evaluation pipelines and GPU cost control widen that gap further. Figures above are indicative base ranges for medior to senior profiles and shift with stage, sector and equity.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to hire a senior MLOps engineer in the Netherlands?
For a well-scoped senior role, we typically present a qualified shortlist within two weeks and complete placements in 21–35 days. Timelines depend on interview discipline on the client side more than on candidate supply.
What does a MLOps engineer earn in the Netherlands in 2026?
Indicative base salaries run €75,000–€120,000 for senior profiles in the Randstad. Belgium runs slightly lower at €70,000–€110,000. Equity and the 30% ruling materially change the calculus for international hires.
Do you recruit MLOps engineers for both permanent and secondment engagements?
Yes. Permanent search, secondment and contract are all standard. Under the Dutch DBA rules, secondment is often the cleanest way to bring in senior capacity without compliance risk.
What is the difference between DevOps and MLOps hiring?
The artefact. DevOps ships deterministic code; MLOps ships models that degrade silently. We qualify for monitoring, drift and retraining experience, which is exactly what generic DevOps CVs lack.
