Senior AI Engineer

Overview

We’re hiring a Senior Applied AI Engineer to join a global AI Innovation and R&D team focused on building production-ready Generative and Agentic AI systems. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys shipping real AI products — not demos — and working at the intersection of software engineering, agentic workflows and applied GenAI.

The role
• Design, build and own production-grade agentic AI systems end to end
• Develop stateful, reliable agent workflows with planning, tool use, memory and human-in-the-loop controls
• Implement advanced retrieval and grounding (hybrid search, reranking, context assembly)
• Build secure tool integrations and expose internal and external services to agents
• Treat evaluation as an engineering discipline with regression tests, metrics and release gates
• Instrument LLMOps and AgentOps for cost, latency, quality and failure monitoring
• Optimise systems for performance, cost and reliability across models and providers
• Build and operate backend services (Python APIs, workflows, event-driven systems)
• Collaborate closely with data science, backend and delivery teams to ship scalable AI solutions

Experience
• 5+ years experience in software engineering, applied ML or applied AI
• Strong Python skills and solid software engineering fundamentals
• Hands-on experience building and productionising LLM-powered applications
• Experience with agentic frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, CrewAI or similar)
• Familiarity with agent patterns such as planning, tool use, ReAct and multi-agent systems
• Experience deploying production services on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD and production operations
