Artificial Intelligence Engineer
About the Role
The AI Engineer designs, builds, and operates scalable, secure AI solutions for JCDecaux UK, with a focus on Copilot implementations and agentic AI that augment users and automate complex workflows. The role converts business and data requirements into production-grade AI assistants, copilots, and intelligent agents embedded into products, processes, and decision-making. Working closely with technology and business teams, the AI Engineer oversees solutions from experimentation through to deployment, optimization, and support, ensuring they integrate with JCDecaux UK’s digital, data, and technology landscape.
The role supports JCDecaux UK’s vision and mission by using advanced AI to pioneer real-world communications and enhance client and consumer understanding.
Reports to: Chief Innovation and Technology Officer
What you'll be doing...
- Design and implement AI copilots and agentic AI solutions that assist users, automate multi-step tasks, and orchestrate calls to internal tools and systems.
- Translate business use cases into Copilot scenarios, prompt flows, connectors, and agent behaviors, defining secure, scalable solution architectures.
- Build and maintain AI components (e.g., RAG, classification, recommendation, summarisation) using Python and modern ML/LLM frameworks.
- Implement end-to-end MLOps pipelines for development, testing, deployment, and monitoring of Copilot and AI solutions, and deploy them into production environments (e.g., Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure, internal apps).
- Integrate AI agents with enterprise systems (e.g., CRM, ERP, scheduling, inventory, data platforms) via APIs and microservices.
- Collaborate with data engineers to design data pipelines, retrieval layers (vector stores, search indices), and large-scale processing using big data frameworks.
- Implement monitoring, logging, and analytics to track usage, performance, quality, and user satisfaction, and lead optimization to address issues such as drift, hallucinations, and latency.
- Contribute to AI engineering standards, guardrails, and best practices, and support incident investigation and resolution with Service Delivery.
- Ensure solutions comply with security, privacy, compliance, and ethical AI requirements, including access controls, data protection, and risk assessments.
- Share knowledge and mentor colleagues to build AI literacy and capability across IT and the wider business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
