Job description

About Tomoro

Tomoro enables organisations to realise competitive advantage with the power of Generative AI. We work with large corporate clients to create meaningful AI strategies, build production-ready AI solutions and effectively integrate those solutions in their businesses.

Our alliance with OpenAI and NVIDIA (among others) enables us to lead the industry in building valuable, scalable, enterprise-ready solutions for businesses. We’re driven by applied R&D, prototyping and AI innovation. Our client teams are focused on tackling the most challenging aspects of applied AI in the enterprise sector directly with clients.

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.

Requirements

Visionary Leadership in Solution Development

As a Senior AI Solution Engineer, you’ll be setting the vision for cutting‑edge AI solutions and products. You'll own the delivery process from idea generation to deployment, ensuring that our AI‑powered solutions are not only innovative but also aligned with our clients' strategic objectives.

Advanced Analytical Problem‑Solving

Your role involves a deep analytical approach to problem‑solving. You will be responsible for breaking down complex challenges into manageable plans, making critical decisions that shape the direction of projects.

Expertise in AI Application Development

With your strong background in designing, developing, testing, and deploying data and AI applications at an enterprise scale, you will provide technical leadership in building robust, efficient solutions that drive business transformation.

Hands‑on Development and Team Oversight

You will be comfortable with being both hands‑on with coding and providing technical leadership and delivery oversight to teams of engineers. Your role balances the technical aspects of AI solution engineering with the leadership and guidance necessary to drive team success.

Code Review and Mentorship

As a senior figure, you will manage and coach teams of engineers, fostering an environment of learning and growth, while providing critical feedback and ensuring the highest quality of code. Your guidance will be instrumental in developing the next generation of AI talent within Tomoro.

Technical Stewardship across a Portfolio of Projects

You will work across multiple accounts or projects simultaneously, amplifying your impact through effective team leadership. Your ability to juggle various responsibilities will be key to the success of our projects.

Contribution to Tomoro R&D product & asset development

Your role involves working within our R&D team contributing reusable assets to our core code repositories, thereby enhancing our collective knowledge base and technical capabilities.

Senior Client Communication

Communicating with senior business and technical clients is a key part of your role. You will be responsible for explaining complex AI approaches, demonstrating solutions, and building strong, trusting relationships with our clients.
