What You'll Be Doing

 * Building and maintaining robust backend services using Node.js and TypeScript
 * Designing and operating agent-based AI systems, from orchestration through to deployment
 * Managing conversational context, memory, and state across complex workflows
 * Integrating internal services and third-party tools through clean, well-structured APIs
 * Implementing observability, evaluation, and cost controls for AI workloads
 * Designing cloud-native systems on AWS, with a focus on scalability and resilience
 * Contributing to architectural decisions across distributed, event-driven systems
 * Working closely with product and engineering teams to turn ideas into production-ready solutions

What You'll Bring

 * Significant experience building production-grade systems with TypeScript and Node.js
 * Hands-on experience with agentic AI frameworks or similar orchestration platforms
 * A strong understanding of:
 * Multi-agent workflow orchestration
 * Context and memory management in AI-driven applications

 * A proven ability to design systems that remain flexible as models, tools, and business needs evolve

Why Join

 * Salary up to £80,000
 * Remote-first role with minimal office time
 * Opportunity to work on cutting-edge agent-based AI systems
 * High ownership and real influence over technical direction
 * A pragmatic, engineering-led culture focused on long-term quality
