This is a remote position.
We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our team and take ownership of key areas within our technology and data platform. Owns the AI layer: retrieval, agents, and natural language interfaces over enterprise data, with evaluation so quality is measured rather than demonstrated.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and deliver solutions within the scope of the role, from requirements and technical/design decisions through implementation and continuous improvement.
- Work closely with engineering, product, data, design, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical, scalable solutions.
- Apply strong engineering and/or domain expertise to build reliable, maintainable, and production-ready capabilities.
- Contribute to architecture, standards, documentation, quality, and technical decision-making appropriate to the role.

- Collaborate across teams to ensure solutions integrate effectively with existing systems and platform components.
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
- Strong hands-on experience with: LLM application engineering, RAG and retrieval architecture, embeddings and vector search, agent and tool calling systems, LLM evaluation, Python.
- Software or data engineering background, with at least two years building LLM based systems that reached production.
- Retrieval architecture: chunking, embeddings, vector and hybrid search, and why naive RAG fails on structured data.
- Agent or tool calling systems, including permissions, scoping, and guardrails.
- Evaluation practice: test sets, regression suites, hallucination and grounding checks.
- Comfortable working inside a data platform rather than calling a hosted API.
Preferred Qualifications
- Self hosted open weight model serving with vLLM or equivalent, inference optimisation, and GPU resource management.
- Fine tuning or adaptation of open weight models.
- Text to SQL or semantic layer work over a real data model.
