## About the Role

* Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building AI-powered applications
 * Hands-on experience with LLMs, generative AI, or agent-based systems
 * Experience designing prompts, workflows, evaluations, or AI behaviour
 * Ability to write clean, production-quality code
 * Comfortable working across abstraction layers (model * system * product)
 * Strong problem-solving skills in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
 * Bias toward shipping, iteration, and continuous improvement

Outcomes

 * AI features reach production quickly and deliver measurable user impact
 * LLM-powered workflows are reliable, scalable, observable, and maintainable
 * AI quality improves through systematic evaluation, experimentation, and iteration
 * AI workflows become increasingly predictable, efficient, and cost-effective
 * Complex AI capabilities are translated into simple, intuitive user experiences

## Description

As an LLM Application Engineer, you will build the intelligence layer that powers A1's AI experiences.

You will work at the intersection of LLMs, software engineering, and product - designing agent workflows, improving model behaviour, and turning AI capabilities into reliable user experiences.

You will own problems end-to-end, from understanding user needs, designing Agentic workflows, integrating models and tools, building evaluation system and continuously improving AI behaviour in production.

Focus

 * Build and ship LLM-powered applications and AI agent workflows
 * Design systems for reasoning, planning, memory, tool uuse and multi-step execution
 * Build reliable orchestration pipelines that turn probabilistic model outputs into predictable, observable, and safe actions
 * Integrate LLMs with APIs, databases, search, internal services, and external tools.
 * Develop prompting, context engineering, structured outputs, tool-calling, and other techniques to improve model behaviour
 * Build evaluation frameworks and datasets to measure AI quality, reliability, and regressions
 * Debug AI systems across the entire stack-from model behaviour and prompts to orchestration, backend services, and product UX
 * Optimise AI systems for quality, latency, and cost
 * Work closely with product and engineering teams to turn ambiguous product problems into working AI solutions
 * Establish production practices for observability, tracing, experimentation, evaluation, and continuous improvement

Tech Stack

 * Python
 * LLM APIs and model providers, including OpenAI-compatible APIs and open-weight models
 * Agent frameworks and orchestration systems
 * Vector databases and retrieval systems
 * Backend services, APIs, and distributed systems
 * PyTorch / JAX
