Job description

You’ll be a key member of the engineering team, focused on building LLM-driven features, intelligent agents, and ML-powered backend systems that automate and optimise intricate workflows. It’s an ideal role for someone with strong backend/ML experience who wants to work on cutting-edge AI applications in a production environment.

You’ll work in a fast-paced R&D setting, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to bring ambitious ideas to life-balancing innovation with real-world delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design, build, and deploy ML-powered features, agents, and APIs to automate unstructured tasks
  • Build production-level backend and microservices in Python and TypeScript
  • Work with product and engineering teams to shape models, services, and system behaviour
  • Contribute to system architecture and infrastructure for scale, observability, and performance
  • Explore and implement LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI orchestration frameworks
  • Take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to deployment and monitoring

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong ML or backend focus
  • Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript, and experience with production-grade systems
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, or orchestration frameworks (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, etc.)
  • Strong grasp of data modelling, cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), and modern APIs
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
  • Problem-solver who can reason about complex systems and deliver clean, scalable code
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams

Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience with agentic workflows or autonomous AI systems
  • Background in data engineering or database architecture
  • Side projects, open-source contributions, or hobbyist builds involving AI/ML
  • Interest in rapid prototyping, automation, and cutting-edge AI tooling

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary with equity/options available
  • Hybrid working from a base in the East Midlands, with in-office collaboration
  • Work on cutting-edge AI challenges with real-world impact
  • Join a high-performing, ambitious team backed by leading investors
  • Opportunity to shape intelligent products from the ground up
