Working at RankmyAI
RankmyAI is the independent research platform for the AI tool ecosystem. We rank and classify 63,000+ AI tools across traffic, investment, and user reviews, and publish monthly insights for an audience that wants signal over hype.
We are a small team in Amsterdam, working at the intersection of applied research and product. We hire when we find people who care about the questions we are asking, either in response to a specific role we have posted or through a cold introduction from someone who finds our work interesting. Both routes are equally welcome.
Open applications
We grow when we meet the right people, not on a fixed hiring calendar. Open applications are how a lot of those introductions begin.
We are particularly interested in people whose work could connect to ours in one of the following areas:
- Research and data: classification, taxonomy, data engineering, applied ML, especially with LLMs
- Editorial: writing, market analysis, insight production for a technical audience
- Product and design: information architecture, frontend, design systems
- Business and partnerships: working with policy makers, national AI hubs, and research clients
If you do not fit any of those neatly but think your work could still touch ours, write anyway. We have met people who arrived through routes nobody had drawn yet.
What to send:
- A short note (max one page) on why our work caught your attention and what you would want to do here
- Your CV
- Optional: links to anything that shows how you think, such as code, writing, projects, or talks
Send your application to [email protected], or message Wilco Verdoold directly on LinkedIn.

What our interns say
"Instead of a top-down hierarchy, there's a real culture of collaboration where even as an intern, you're encouraged to jump in, share your perspective, and build things together."
Jule Dannecker, Erasmus+ intern researching the German AI market
"I am given a lot of independence and freedom in my work, and I like that the team is small because it makes it easy to communicate and quickly feel part of it."
Liselot Aartsen, intern in business development
"I was quite surprised by the level of transparency. I think that sharing what they do and how they do it with the public is a major contributing factor to their success."
Cem Canbolat, intern working on our classification engine
