About the Role
We’re seeking to partner with a cutting-edge organisation that is investing heavily in next-generation AI systems to underpin intelligent, data-driven applications.
This is a high-impact Senior Engineer role within a growing engineering function. You will be responsible for designing and delivering scalable AI-driven systems across the full lifecycle—from architecture to deployment and optimisation in production.
If you enjoy building from first principles, experimenting with modern LLM frameworks, and shaping AI’s role in real-world products, this is an exciting opportunity to have a tangible business impact.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and optimising AI-driven architectures
- Implementing vector and graph database solutions
- Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines
- Developing agentic reasoning workflows (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex)
- Managing the end-to-end AI lifecycle — ingestion, embeddings, extraction, synthesis, prompt engineering, and orchestration
- Deploying and maintaining containerised models in Docker-based environments
- Collaborating closely with product and business stakeholders
- Mentoring junior engineers
