They are building next-generation AI products that deliver personalised, real-time learning experiences at scale and are looking for a Principal AI Engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of their AI platform.

You'll have the opportunity to build sophisticated LLM-based applications, experiment with emerging AI capabilities and contribute to products that have a genuine impact on end users.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build and evolve complex AI systems using Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt architectures and agentic workflows.
- Develop real-time, adaptive AI capabilities that deliver personalised and intelligent user experiences.
- Create custom evaluation frameworks and metrics to measure model performance, reliability and product effectiveness.
- Design scalable, maintainable software solutions using Python and modern cloud technologies.
- Integrate AI capabilities across platform systems, content pipelines and user-facing products.
- Prototype and productionise novel AI interactions by leveraging the latest developments in AI research.
- Implement testing, monitoring and guardrails to ensure quality, safety and observability across AI systems.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate customer and business requirements into impactful AI products.
- Mentor others and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
