Accountable for results and best in class outcomes

Visionary in future focused problem-solving

Exceptional in execution and impact

We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to architect and ship production-grade AI systems end-to-end. You'll own the design of complex agentic AI systems, multi-model pipelines, and intelligent workflow automation — from technical architecture through production deployment and continuous iteration. This is a deep technical role: you write production code, make system-level design decisions, define engineering standards, and mentor junior engineers, while partnering directly with business leaders to turn ambiguous problems into scalable solutions.

Responsibilities: - Architect and build production-grade AI-powered applications and agentic systems end-to-end, including front-end, back-end, data pipelines, APIs, and multi-model AI integrations. - Design and operate agentic AI systems — including multi-agent orchestration, tool/function calling pipelines, memory and context management strategies, and dynamic intent routing — with a strong grasp of how these systems behave and fail in production. - Own the full lifecycle of complex AI systems: requirements, architecture design, implementation, evaluation harness construction, deployment, observability, and post-launch iteration. - Drive technical decision-making on model selection, retrieval architectures (RAG, vector search, hybrid), prompt engineering strategies, and LLM API integrations — with clear communication of tradeoffs to engineering and business stakeholders. - Design for scale and reliability: apply software engineering fundamentals including system design principles, data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems thinking to AI application architecture. - Build evaluation and observability infrastructure — including automated eval harnesses, LLM-as-judge pipelines, latency/cost monitoring, and regression frameworks — to continuously measure and improve system quality. - Define and maintain engineering standards for AI development: reusable patterns, integration abstractions, documentation, and testing practices adopted across the team. - Mentor and technically guide junior engineers; conduct code and design reviews, and actively raise the technical bar of the team.

Qualifications Required: - 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with at least 3 years building and shipping production AI/ML systems with real users and measurable business impact. - Deep proficiency in Go, Python and strong familiarity with typed, production-quality codebases; solid command of data structures, algorithms, and system design principles — capable of designing scalable services, handling concurrency, and reasoning about performance and failure modes. - Hands-on experience building agentic AI systems — including multi-step reasoning pipelines, tool/function calling, dynamic planning, and agent orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom implementations). - Working knowledge of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) or comparable tool-calling and context injection protocols — including how context windows are managed, how tools are registered and invoked, and how to architect reliable agent-tool interactions. - Strong experience with memory and context management in LLM systems: short-term context strategies, long-term memory via vector stores or knowledge graphs, conversation summarisation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures. - Experience designing and building evaluation harnesses for AI systems: automated test suites, LLM-as-judge patterns, benchmark construction, and production monitoring for quality, latency, and cost. - Production experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalent), including prompt engineering, structured output, fine-tuning tradeoffs, and multi-model orchestration.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
