Description
As trusted partners of AWS and Databricks, we help organisations design, build and scale intelligent systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. We lead from the front in Generative and Applied AI adoption — guiding clients from uncertainty to confident, production-grade delivery.
We are looking for a talented Senior Applied AI Engineer where you will own the outcomes of an engagement or workstream: defining success, measuring business impact, and managing delivery and technical risk.
You will design AI and GenAI systems end-to-end, guide other engineers, and act as a trusted technical contact for clients.
The role is remote based in UK with the occasional travel to company events.
Key Responsibilities
- Delivery & impact: Own workstream and engagement outcomes; define success, measure business impact, and balance technical debt, speed and scalability.
- AI & engineering craft: Design AI systems end-to-end across the lifecycle; make and justify key trade-offs; evaluate model performance beyond simple accuracy.
- Collaboration: Explain AI concepts, trade-offs and limitations to technical and non-technical clients; lead code reviews; resolve technical disagreements constructively.
- Growth & capability: Mentor engineers; contribute reusable components, accelerators and best practice; continuously improve how the team delivers.
