Job description

Forget advising on what AI could do. This is your chance to build it — and watch it go live.

We're looking for an exceptional AI Solutions Engineer to turn cutting-edge AI into real commercial and operational firepower. Working alongside the AI Automation Lead and senior business stakeholders, you'll design, prototype and deploy intelligent, agentic AI solutions right across the organisation.

You'll sit at the sharp end of AI engineering, business transformation and automation — taking ideas from a whiteboard sketch to a production system delivering measurable impact.

This is a genuinely hands‑on role for someone who wants to build, challenge, experiment and ship. No PowerPoint theorising — just real solutions doing real work.

Key responsibilities include:

• AI Architecture & Engineering: Design, build and deploy production‑grade AI agents, RAG systems and multi‑agent solutions for complex enterprise use cases.
• AI Experimentation & Innovation: Get your hands on the newest LLMs, tools and architectures, rapidly prototype bold ideas and pinpoint where AI can move the needle most.
• Workflow Automation: Team up with business units to map processes, hunt down bottlenecks and build AI‑powered solutions that slash manual effort and boost accuracy and efficiency.
• Evaluation, Governance & Monitoring: Build robust evaluation, safety, compliance, audit and monitoring frameworks so your AI solutions are reliable, measurable and genuinely production‑ready.
• Business Transformation: Partner with senior stakeholders to spot high‑value AI opportunities, translate gnarly business problems into practical solutions and drive adoption across the business.
• Continuous Improvement & Enablement: Analyse performance and feedback, keep iterating your AI products, and build reusable frameworks, prompt libraries and playbooks that supercharge AI adoption company‑wide.

About You

You're a hands‑on AI builder with sharp commercial instincts — someone who turns real business problems into practical AI solutions, not just proofs of concept. You're comfortable deep in LLMs, AI agents, RAG and automation, and just as comfortable explaining it all to senior stakeholders and non‑technical teams alike.

Experience & Skills

• Hands‑on experience building and deploying LLM applications, AI agents or automation solutions
• Strong knowledge of prompt engineering, RAG, agentic workflows and LLM orchestration
• Sharp understanding of LLM limitations
• A track record of spotting business processes ripe for AI and automation
• Solid grasp of AI evaluation, monitoring and quality
• Strong commercial mindset, laser‑focused on measurable business impact
• Excellent communication skills with technical and non‑technical stakeholders alike
• Ideally educated to degree level from a top university
