AI Engineer

We re seeking a highly experienced, technically exceptional AI Engineer to architect and deliver next-generation Generative AI and Agentic systems. You will drive end-to-end innovation, from model selection and orchestration design to scalable backend implementation, all while collaborating with cross-functional teams to transform AI research into production-ready solutions. This is an individual-contributor leadership role for someone who thrives on ownership, fast execution and technical excellence. You will define the standards for quality, scalability and innovation across all AI initiatives., * Architect, build and optimise production-grade Generative AI and agentic applications using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, n8n, Pydantic AI or custom orchestration layers integrating with LLMs such as GPT, Claude, Gemini as well as self-hosted LLMs along with MCP integrations

• Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques leveraging vector databases (Pinecone / ChromaDB / Weaviate / pgvector / etc)
• Implement guardrails, observability, fine-tune and train models for industry or domain specific use cases
• Build multi-modal workflows using text, image, voice and video
• Design robust prompt & context engineering frameworks to improve accuracy, repeatability, quality, cost and latency
• Build supporting microservices and modular backends using Python or JavaScript or Java aligned with domain driven design, SOLID principles, OOP, and clean architecture using various databases including relational, document, Key-Value, Graph and other types of databases and event driven systems using Kafka / MSK, SQS, etc
• Cloud native deployments in hyper-scalers such as AWS / GCP / Azure using containerisation and orchestration with Docker / Kubernetes or serverless architecture

AI Assisted Development, Context Engineering & Innovation

• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Roo Code, Cursor to accelerate development while maintaining code quality and maintainability (not vibe coding, but by a structured approach to AI assisted development)
• Utilise coding assistant tools with native instructions, templates, guides, workflows, sub-agents and more to create developer workflows to improve development velocity, standardisation, reliability across AI teams.

• Active user of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with demonstrable experience using structured workflows and sub-agents
• A deep understanding of how LLMs work, context engineering approaches and best practices with the ability to optimise accuracy, latency and cost
• Python or JavaScript experience with strong grasp of OOP, SOLID principles, 12-factor application development and scalable microservice architecture
• Proven track record developing and deploying GenAI/LLM-based systems in production
• Advanced understanding of context engineering, prompt construction, optimisation and evaluation techniques
• End-to-end implementation experience using vector databases and retrieval pipelines
• Can balance rapid prototyping with long-term maintainability
• Excel at working independently while collaborating effectively across teams
• Stay ahead of the curve on new AI models, frameworks and best practices
• Have a founder s mindset and love solving ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges
• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical discipline
