Job description

About The Role

Applied AI solution engineers are expected to work in small teams of Tomoro and client engineers to design, build and deploy AI applications, such as agents built around Large Language Models. As your experience and expertise in the role grows, this may extend to leading these teams, owning solutions end-to-end and advising clients in this space. The typical applications we build use existing closed or open-source foundational models, potentially with some fine tuning. We generally do not need to train our own foundational models from scratch.

We do not expect every successful candidate to have experience in all of these areas. We encourage you to apply if the role excites you and you believe you can demonstrate a combination of the following capabilities.

Responsibilities and Capabilities

• AI Solution Development — Building AI-powered solutions, particularly those involving large language models with client partners. You'll be hands-on and will own design and build of such solutions.
• Client Consultation and Communication — Regularly interacting with clients to understand their business challenges, goals, and requirements, and effectively communicating how AI solutions can address their needs.
• Technical Leadership — Providing technical guidance and leadership within the team, including mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team skill development.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration — Working collaboratively with other teams within the company, including non-technical teams, to ensure an integrated approach to AI solution development and implementation.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation — Staying updated with the latest developments in AI, machine learning, and related technologies to continually enhance the quality of solutions offered.
• Client Relationships — Building robust, trusted relationships with senior business and technical clients. We constructively challenge our clients to help them become AI leaders in their field.
• Quality Assurance and Testing — Ensuring the reliability, effectiveness, and safety of AI solutions through rigorous testing and quality assurance practices.
• Ethical Consideration and Compliance — Upholding and contributing to ethical standards in AI development, including data privacy, bias minimization, and regulatory compliance.
• Client Training and Support — Assisting clients in understanding and effectively using AI solutions, and providing ongoing support and maintenance as needed.

Requirements

• Indicators you'll be a good fit — Strong hands-on experience of developing production-grade solutions involving:
  • Building Microservices (including scalable data pipelines using frameworks like Spark)
  • Data technologies (Python, SQL)
  • Large language models, fine tuning (closed & open source, OpenAI API)
  • Solution design (mainly data applications using Python, SQL and other allied tech stack)
  • Analytical problem solving
• We are not restricted to the technologies we use to solve client challenges and are looking for people who are able to adapt to a new stack when needed.
• Comfortable being client-facing — Our business is helping other businesses transform with AI. Our Technical team is front of house and client ambassadors. This includes:
  • Communication & translation: Excellent communication skills to interact with clients and explain AI concepts
  • Business acumen: Understanding of business processes and how AI solutions can improve efficiency, reduce costs, or create new opportunities
• Adaptable and self-sufficient — Ability to operate independently in a growing, fast-paced organisation with limited handholding.
• Passionate and positive — Shared commitment to AI-driven transformative change across industries.
• Creative and curious — Proactive self-learning and openness to new ideas; staying at the forefront of AI developments.
• Ethical and responsible — Awareness of data privacy, bias, and societal impact of AI; contributing to ethical practices.
