Senior AI Engineer (Agentic Systems)
UK Based
Role
At StarCompliance, we build software that supports critical compliance needs for global clients. We are now embedding AI as a core capability across the entire software development lifecycle.
We are seeking a Lead AI Engineer to lead the practical adoption and scaling of AI-assisted and agentic engineering across our teams.
This is not a research or experimentation role. You will work hands-on within real codebases, using modern AI-native development environments (Cursor preferred) to fundamentally change how software is built, tested, and delivered. Your focus is to turn AI from a tool into a system. Repeatable, scalable, and embedded.
You will define and implement playbooks, patterns, and workflows that enable teams to operate with parallel AI agents, autonomous code review, and AI-driven delivery pipelines. You will also help bootstrap new initiatives, ensuring they start with the right architecture, tooling, and AI-enabled engineering practices from day one.
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.
This role sits within R&D Engineering and partners closely with Platform, QA, and Product Engineering. Influence is earned through delivery, not hierarchy.
How We Think About AI
AI is not an assistant. It is part of the engineering system. We expect engineers in this role to:
- Embed AI directly into development workflows, not use it as a separate tool
- Design repeatable, production-grade AI workflows, not one-off prompts
- Leverage agentic patterns such as multi-step execution, tool chaining, and parallelization
- Apply AI across the lifecycle: coding, testing, review, and delivery
- Balance speed with control, operating safely within a regulated SaaS environment
- Deliver measurable improvements in throughput, quality, and developer experience

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
