AI-native custom solutions and MLOps platforms for enterprise process automation
Clockworks builds production AI systems for mid-market enterprises, with a stack rooted in Python + FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Azure/AWS. The company is actively shaping go-to-market motion and ICP definition while working on product-line commercialization—suggesting a transition from pure services toward repeatable platform offerings (MLOps governance, annotation tooling, 3D LiDAR analysis). The engineering-forward hiring mix (5 engineers, 1 sales role) reflects this product-infrastructure focus over top-of-funnel sales expansion.
Clockworks is a 34-person AI services and platform company based in Rotterdam, founded in 2017.

The company operates across two main surfaces: custom AI solution design for enterprises (data science, deep learning, predictive analytics) and internal platform products (MLOps governance, annotation tools, 3D analysis).
