Role : AI Engineer for Venture fund
Location : Work from offices in Ghent (at least 3 days a week)
Competitive salary
Design the systems behind the next generation of venture investing
With Fortino Ventures, you’ll build systems that remove friction, surface real signal, and quietly change how venture decisions get made - in service of founders building breakout B2B SaaS and AI companies.
You’ll sit inside a vibrant and international Ventures team. Their mantra is being authentic, bold, and conscious. Your work won’t live in slides. It will shape live investment decisions from day one, using automation, data, and AI to create real edge.
High trust. High standards. Real ownership.
The mandate
* You engineer how investing gets done
* Unlock AI use cases across sourcing, selection, and portfolio management
* Build and prototype AI-assisted workflows
* Scrape and structure data across fragmented markets
* Automate company screening and early signal generation
* Build tooling for competitive analysis and focused diligence
* Turn internal data into repeatable decision advantage
What works becomes infrastructure.
What doesn’t gets killed fast.
Why this role is different
* Real trust: you ship directly into live investment workflows
* Direct exposure: front-row seat to how investors think
* High leverage: one system influences dozens of decisions
* Compounding impact: you redesign the machine, not the output
No hand-holding. No busywork. Just ownership.
Could this be you?
* Comfortable building agentic AI systems (OpenAI / Anthropic, LangChain/LangGraph, LlamaIndex, RAG, evaluation tooling)
* Strong at scraping and data acquisition (APIs, crawlers, messy sources. You get signal where others see noise)
* Move comfortably across back-end and front-end (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL; React or similar on the front)
* Think in systems, incentives, and second-order effects, not isolated tasks
* Operate autonomously at a strategic level: you anticipate what’s needed, act without waiting, and are already three steps ahead
* Deeply curious about technology, AI, and how exceptional companies actually win
We’re looking for someone who creates momentum without being asked. Decisive, resilient, and relentlessly curious.
If you need guardrails, this won’t work. If you want autonomy and real responsibility early, it will.
