Head of Artificial Intelligence
AI Team Lead Remote | ~£120,000 | Flexible hours Location: UK or Europe
About the Company
My client is a specialist services firm focused on DevOps, Data, and AI, holding one of only the top 4% off all AWS Premier Partner designations.
Originally a DevOps-focused business, it has since expanded into Data and AI, currently comprising ~80 employees globally. Self-funded (not VC-backed), they prioritise expertise and disciplined growth over rapid headcount expansion. Their vision is to become one of the top 5 service providers in their sector within five years.
Tackling complex, unsolved AI agentic challenges for clients that couldn’t resolve them internally, they are hiring an AI Team Lead to spearhead this work and cultivate the dedicated team.
About the Role
This hands-on leadership position demands someone comfortable driving innovation from the front. Responsibilities include:
- Designing and executing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) tailored to client needs, selecting optimal architectures over rigid one-size-fits-all approaches.
- Building a team of AI Engineers, maintaining rigorous technical standards while fostering growth.
- Mentoring and hiring as the team scales, ensuring skilled recruitment.
- Architecting memory & context systems (user preferences, semantic recall, sliding attentional windows) for long-term agent coherence.
- Establishing safety, reliability, and performance benchmarks for production deployments.
- Bridging technical gaps for clients, translating complex requirements into robust AI systems.
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.
Ideal for veterans who take pride in problem-solving and prefer building over administering. Ambitious impact, accountability, and autonomy are core to this role.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end development of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), adapting structures to problem specificity.
- Lead and mentor a team of 15 AI Engineers, upholding high-quality standards.
- Guide the hiring process, actively shaping team composition.
- Design systems for memory & state to maintain agentic contextual adaptability over time.
- Implement evaluation metrics ensuring production-ready, secure, and efficient outputs.
- Collaborate directly with clients, translating requirements into architecture and maintaining alignment throughout projects.
What They’re Looking For
(Critical Essentials)
- Proven hands-on expertise in agentic AI architecture—design and build, not merely oversight.
- 7+ years in engineering, with 2+ years dedicated to generative AI or agentic systems.
- Python proficiency (5+ years) with a strong preference for clean, modular code.
- Team Leadership/Technical Mentorship experience (even at Team Lead-level). Management credentials outweighed by technical acumen.
- Production experience with AWS Bedrock &/or GCP Vertex AI.
- Production-grade experience with agentic systems—proven demos alone insufficient.
- Customer-facing & commercially aware—excellence in communication, stakeholder management, and collaboration. Low ego, high dedication to outcomes.

- Self-funded growth permits speedy expansion without compromising culture or quality.
- High-impact client challenges—challenging, technologically demanding, and client-conscious.
- Full ownership to shape agentic innovation direction from conception to scaled implementation.
