We are driven by impact, and so is our vision on Machine Learning. We don’t want a data scientists’ laptop to be a graveyard for brilliant models. That’s why we use these four principles to actually implement Machine Learning that realises business value.
Our vision on Machine Learning

Entrepreneurial
We love to work with entrepreneurs, from scale-ups to SMEs. We believe every use case starts with a business case, roadmap and a technical blueprint to deliver ML solutions.

Engineering
No Machine Learning without engineering. We believe in the combination of data science and engineering. Not just a theoretical model, but an ML engine in production.

Explainable models
We believe ML should always be explainable, accountable and transparent. We’re one of the proud founders of Deeploy, a platform to keep ML explainable and accountable.

Human involvement
We involve content experts in the process of creation and feedback. We distinguish ourselves by going quickly to a working solution including a continuous feedback loop.
Our story
The journey of Enjins itself started in 2018 but the ideas that were the fundament for Enjins were shaped over many years and projects before. We saw the growing need for a company that did not just create data science models but that realizes lasting Machine Learning solutions with business impact.
The journey starts
The journey starts in the basement of this beautiful building, with our first scale-up customers.
Official company launch
Nick, Maarten and Bastiaan found Enjins with a clear ambition: Become thé go-to partner for tech scale-ups.
Bijlmer becomes the new home of Enjins
Close to both Utrecht CS and Amsterdam CS, Bijlmer seems to be the ideal place to attract ML engineering talents.
The squad is growing
The yearly Enjins Christmas dinner now seats 11 people.
Going abroad
The ambition to further scale Enjins leads to international projects in European tech-hubs like Berlin and Tel-Aviv.
Deeploy is launched
The launch of our product company Deeploy! We saw the need for manageable and explainable AI.

Business development intern
Background
Bachelors Degree International business // Marketing & Sales
Why Enjins
During my bachelor’s in international business, I had to choose a specialization. I shifted my educational focus to marketing & sales, as this specialization interested me the most. I continued learning more and more about marketing & sales, and eventually, the third year was in sight. This year I must do an internship with a company that fits within my bachelor’s. I started looking for internships with the title digital marketing. I found out that these tasks and responsibilities were not like I imagined, so I decided to broaden my criteria. Enjins came up on LinkedIn with a business development internship position, the job description was exactly how I wanted it to be. I had a great first meeting with one of the Senior machine learning engineers, which was followed up by a meeting with the marketing & sales team. After these meetings, I was sure that I wanted to do the internship at Enjins. An exciting tech company, with a young and ambitious team, that offers freedom but also responsibility.

Machine Learning Engineer
Background
I have received my Bachelor AI as well as my Master AI & Data Science from Radboud University Nijmegen. In my free time, I am an avid musical theatre enthusiast and therefore do like to spend my time going to the theatre or dancing and singing myself. And although I’m not a student anymore, I’m also active within the Vegan Student Association organizing fun events.
Why Enjins
I like to work in a small-scaled social environment where there is enough room to learn as I am quite curious to know more about the complete process of ML implementation at clients.

Machine learning engineer
Background
Computer scientist located in Eindhoven. Recently graduated in Data Science in Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven. Code enthusiast who likes to create mobile apps. Sports fanatic who likes to read all types of literature.
Why Enjins
Right from the get-go, I knew I wanted to start my career as a consultant. I wanted to enter the field of consultancy as I wanted to expose myself to many projects that differ in nature and application. In other words, I want to broaden my skill set whilst exploring the possibilities of creating value through data science. The most important reason for choosing Enjins over other consultancy firms is that Enjins is a relatively small firm that’s entrusts its engineers with full ownership over projects, including the handling of client relations. The responsibilities given motivate me to do my utmost best in delivering successful machine engines. Furthermore, it enables my creativity in creating specific and customized solutions.
