Job description

Want to build AI agents that thousands of patent professionals rely on every day? We're a fast-growing, Series B startup putting state-of-the-art AI in the hands of legal teams across 6 continents, looking for engineers who want real ownership and real impact.

This is your chance to join a rocket ship!

The Role: AI Engineer

• Developing production-ready AI agents. We've built proprietary agents and tools for drafting, analysing, and evaluating patents. You'll improve these agents and ship new ones that directly move product quality and customer adoption.

• Context management, tools and prompt engineering. You'll ensure our AI manages its context effectively at scale, reliably handling thousands of documents while producing the highest-quality output. You'll build the specialist tools and integrations that make this possible, and engineer prompts alongside our IP experts to maximise performance.

• Building a state-of-the-art evaluation pipeline. Robust evals keep AI output high-quality and objectively steer our R&D. You'll build this pipeline and benchmark performance across large datasets.

About you

As an AI engineer, you will have extensive experience building AI agents and products to solve impressively difficult problems through past projects, designs, or GitHub contributions.

Essential requirements

• Expert in Python.

• Industry experience of shipping agents and/or evaluation pipelines into production.

• Experience with context engineering and prompt engineering

• Familiarity with back-end development and Postgres databases.

• Experience with front-end development (Typescript/React).

• Extremely clear writer and communicator.

Nice to have:

• Publications at top machine learning conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) or in adjacent fields.
