Principal AI Scientist -
Are you an experienced AI Scientist looking to lead cutting-edge research and develop next-generation AI solutions? We're partnering with an innovative organisation that is transforming how AI is applied within psychometrics and human assessment. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of the AI research roadmap, influence technical strategy, and build intelligent systems that have real-world impact. Working remotely within the UK, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop and deploy advanced AI models, with a particular focus on Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents and machine learning technologies.
The Role
As Principal AI Scientist, you will be the technical authority for AI research and innovation. You'll define the research direction, lead experimentation, and translate cutting-edge research into production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll balance strategic thinking with practical implementation.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the AI research and development roadmap.
- Lead the design, development and evaluation of advanced AI and machine learning solutions.
- Build and optimise Large Language Model (LLM) applications and autonomous AI agent frameworks.
- Develop robust evaluation methodologies to ensure AI systems are accurate, reliable and measurable.
- Work closely with product, engineering and research teams to translate complex ideas into scalable products.
- Stay at the forefront of emerging AI research and identify opportunities to incorporate new techniques.
- Mentor senior technical colleagues and help establish AI best practices across the organisation.
