Résumé du poste

Lorien in Manchester is seeking a Lead AI Engineer to boost developer productivity. This hands-on role uses LLMs and coding agents to improve software delivery, in a hybrid setup with 2 days in the office weekly.

You will build tooling and workflows, measure results honestly, and work with real codebases, CI/CD, testing and observability. Strong Python/SQL skills and the ability to influence without authority are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong professional software engineering experience, including building and operating production software.
• Excellent programming and software design skills, with a solid grasp of testing, CI/CD and code review.
• Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs, including tool calling and agentic workflows.
• Day-to-day use of AI coding tools and agents on real codebases, with an evidence-based view of where they help and where they hurt.
• A practical understanding of how LLMs and agents fail: plausible but wrong code, fixes that mask symptoms, tests gamed to pass, context limits and cost growth.
• Experience integrating with Git platforms, CI/CD, issue trackers and observability tooling.
• Experience designing evaluations for AI outputs, or comparable experimental rigour.
• Python (or similar) and SQL for preparing code, documents and tickets for retrieval.

Responsabilités

• Hands-on role building tooling and workflows to enable AI in real codebases.
• Measure results honestly and report evidence to guide engineering decisions.
• Use LLMs and coding agents to improve software delivery without focusing on model-building.
• Work with modern tooling, open-source models, and secure, observable pipelines.
