In this role you will work closely with the team and cross‑functionally across the organisation to design, build, and deliver high‑impact AI‑powered software solutions. This is an opportunity for a self‑motivated, creative engineer who enjoys taking ideas from early exploration through technical planning, implementation, deployment and iteration in production. The role is software engineering first, with a strong emphasis on applying AI thoughtfully and effectively to real business problems.
- Drive the full lifecycle of AI/ML solutions, from research and prototyping through production deployment, evaluation and monitoring.
- Design and implement scalable, maintainable systems with strong software engineering fundamentals, using sound architecture, infrastructure and design patterns.
- Help shape the AI team’s software engineering practices by contributing to technical direction, improving implementation approaches and ensuring solutions are built in a reliable, maintainable and scalable way.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally to develop and optimise AI‑powered product features and internal tools.
- Build, orchestrate and integrate LLM‑based systems into production applications.
- Apply AI patterns and frameworks such as RAG, skills, document extraction and workflow orchestration where they are the right fit.
- Refine AI use cases through prompt engineering, evaluation, guardrails and orchestration strategies.
- Assess where AI can streamline or improve existing processes, and identify cases where conventional software solutions are a better choice.
- Support AI adoption across the organisation by helping teams understand, use, and implement AI effectively in their day‑to‑day work.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 2–3+ years of professional experience shipping production software, with strong engineering fundamentals.
- Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to deliver full‑stack changes across backend services, web applications and Python‑based systems.
- Experience building and shipping production‑quality software with attention to reliability, maintainability, testing and performance.
- Experience delivering AI features into production, including working with LLM APIs and building reliable AI workflows with considerations such as latency, streaming, retries, fallbacks and error handling.
- Strong understanding of the capabilities, trade‑offs and limitations of modern AI systems.
- Clear communication, strong ownership and the ability to operate effectively in a small team.
- A growth mindset, with a willingness to learn, adapt and continuously improve technical and product skills.
- Strong background in software development, with experience contributing across the product and engineering lifecycle.
- Experience integrating and implementing AI features, automations or products in a professional environment.
- Comfort working with LLM provider SDKs, APIs and common abstractions such as PydanticAI, LangChain or LiteLLM.
- Experience collaborating with cross‑functional stakeholders to gather requirements and develop practical solutions.
- Experience leading projects, mentoring teammates or helping raise engineering standards.
