Role: AI Engineer - Generative and Agentic AI
hackajob is collaborating with Version 1 to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.
As an AI Engineer focused on Generative and Agentic AI, you will design, build, deploy, and operate production-ready AI systems, taking ideas from early prototypes through to reliable, enterprise-grade solutions. You will work hands-on with real customer and internal use cases, owning the full lifecycle from design and orchestration to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
The role emphasizes building intelligent systems that can reason, plan, use tools, and make decisions, rather than standalone models or simple chatbots. You will apply modern Generative AI techniques and strong software engineering practices to deliver real-world AI outcomes on a scale.
Key Responsibilities
Experience needed: 5-7 years
Generative & Agentic AI Development
- Design and build LLM-based systems using:
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Embeddings and vector search
- Prompt engineering and prompt optimization
- Function calling and tool usage
- Agentic and multi-agent workflows
- Develop AI systems that integrate LLMs with REST APIs, enterprise systems, data platforms, and workflows
- Apply LLM evaluation techniques to assess quality, reliability, safety, and performance
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
