About us At Xelix, we work with some of the world’s largest companies to automate and strengthen their financial controls. Our AI solutions redefine how Accounts Payable teams operate – moving from manual processes to automated, intelligent workflows. Xelix is a fast-paced scale-up – things move fast and expectations are high. We raised our Series B with Insight Partners in June 2025 and are expanding aggressively. We have a team 150 talented people pulling together to achieve our goals. Everyone is trusted to take ownership, move fast and have a meaningful impact. We prioritise personal and professional growth, keep things fun, and love to celebrate a milestone together. In this role you’ll grow, be challenged and help shape the future of Xelix. If you’re excited about building something special with us, we’d love to hear from you. About the role We are hiring an AI Engineer to join our growing AI Engineering team. You’ll design and build production AI systems — combining machine learning, large language models, and strong engineering — to solve real problems across documents, email, and financial data. We focus on building systems that work reliably in production, not just prototypes. We use modern AI tools extensively in our workflow, enabling engineers to operate at a higher level — focusing on system design, product thinking, and solving complex problems. What you'll be doing AI Systems & Agents: design and build production AI systems — including agent-based workflows, tool use, and multi-step reasoning. Model Development & Adaptation: develop and improve models across text, vision, and structured data, including fine-tuning and hybrid ML + LLM approaches. LLM Platform Work: work with hosted and self-hosted models, contributing to decisions around model selection, performance, and cost. Production Engineering: write clean, maintainable Python and contribute to scalable, observable systems. Evaluation & Iteration: design evals, measure performance rigorously, and improve systems using real-world feedback. AI-Assisted Development: use modern AI coding tools to move faster while maintaining high standards. Collaboration: work closely with product and engineering teams to deliver high-impact features. What you’ll bring Experience: 2–5 years building and shipping ML or AI-powered systems into production. Strong Engineering Skills: clean, testable Python; solid software design; experience working in production environments. AI/ML Breadth: experience with either traditional ML (e.g. gradient boosting) and/or LLM systems (prompting, tool use, evals, agents). Systems Thinking: ability to reason about trade-offs (accuracy, latency, cost, reliability) and design accordingly. Data Skills: SQL, pandas, and experience working with messy real-world data. AI-Native Workflow: comfortable using AI-assisted coding tools effectively. Curiosity & Ownership: proactive in exploring new approaches and improving existing systems. Collaboration: strong cross-functional working style.
