Overview

Senior AI Product Engineer


A fast-growing B2B software company is investing heavily in the next generation of AI-driven automation and is hiring experienced AI engineers to build customer-facing autonomous systems. The organisation has already introduced AI-powered capabilities across its platform and is now focused on developing intelligent agents capable of executing complex workflows, making decisions, and driving business outcomes with minimal user intervention.
This is a hands-on engineering role for individuals who have successfully built and deployed production AI systems. Engineers will work within small, high-impact teams responsible for developing new agentic capabilities from the ground up while collaborating closely with product and platform stakeholders.
The environment is fast-paced, ownership-driven, and well-suited to engineers who enjoy solving ambiguous problems and delivering new products at scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI agents and autonomous workflows.
  • Own AI-powered features from concept through launch, monitoring, and optimisation.
  • Develop scalable architectures that support agent orchestration, tool usage, evaluation, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and platform teams to create consistent AI experiences.
  • Define and implement testing, evaluation, and monitoring frameworks for AI applications.
  • Build customer-facing AI solutions that automate complex business processes and decision-making workflows.
  • Contribute to shared AI infrastructure, agent platforms, and reusable frameworks.
  • Drive technical decisions across system design, reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.

  • Strong software engineering background with experience in backend or full-stack development.
  • Demonstrated ownership of systems from design through deployment and ongoing support.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.
  • Experience creating evaluation frameworks and measuring AI system quality in production.
  • Ability to clearly explain architectural decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
  • Experience using agent frameworks, orchestration platforms, or foundation model tooling.
  • Familiarity with multi-agent systems, tool calling, workflow orchestration, and autonomous execution patterns.
  • Experience working within startup or high-growth technology environments.
  • Exposure to cloud-based AI service ecosystems and large-scale AI deployments.
