THE COMPANY
A major international aviation group is building a brand-new AI engineering capability to transform its maintenance and supply chain operations. The programme is fully greenfield: the team formed only weeks ago, there is a roadmap of 7 internal AI products, and the first is an LLM-powered contract intelligence platform targeting tens of millions of pounds in savings across the group.
THE ROLE
This is a deeply technical leadership role. You will own architecture across half the domain, drive the technical decisions, and work with squads in London and Barcelona to deliver against them. It is not a programme, delivery or governance position: you make the architectural calls rather than facilitate them.
You will:
- Design large-scale agentic AI architectures: LLM document processing, structured extraction, RAG, invoice-to-contract matching
- Own low-level design decisions, including API design, data models and service boundaries
- Set and drive technical processes: engineering standards, security practices, including pen testing, SDLC ownership
- Work across the full stack, from front end through back end to ML/AI and data
- Whiteboard solutions directly with senior business stakeholders and translate requirements into build
- Mentor engineers and squad tech leads to understand and deliver on the architecture
- Shape MLOps routes to live, CI/CD and generative AI abstraction layers
- Model the cost, feasibility and risk of different LLMs and implementation approaches
THE STACK
AWS, Bedrock, LangGraph, LangChain, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Airflow, React, Next.js, Kubernetes.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
- 15+ years in enterprise software engineering with a background in product engineering organisations or technology companies
- Deeply technical: recent evidence of designing systems from scratch and driving architectural decisions across multiple teams
- Agentic AI delivered in production, ideally LangGraph or LangChain, with strong Python and FastAPI
- AWS architecture at scale, with a preference for open standards over cloud-native lock-in
- Full-stack understanding across FE, BE, ML/AI and data
- Comfortable challenging engineering decisions at code level while operating at architecture level
- Strong tenure and a coherent technical career trajectory
- Aviation, logistics or supply chain domain experience a bonus
THE PROCESS
Two stages. Stage 1 is a technical whiteboard: designing an agentic AI document processing platform. Stage 2 is a final with the hiring manager.
THE DETAILS
Up to £800/day. 3 days per week on site in West London, occasional central London, some European travel possible.

Founding AI Engineer
Fort Worth, TX (4 Days Onsite – Non-Negotiable)
Compensation: Up to $300,000 Base + Meaningful Equity
About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a well-capitalized, publicly traded company undergoing a significant AI-driven transformation. The organization operates in a highly data-rich environment and is making a substantial long-term investment in artificial intelligence, software development, automation, and intelligent decision systems.
This is not a research role.
This is an opportunity for a highly capable AI Engineer to build production-grade AI products that solve real business problems, influence strategic decisions, and ultimately become core to the company’s competitive advantage. The successful candidate will work directly with executive leadership and have a meaningful role in shaping the company’s AI roadmap from the ground up.
Why This Role Stands Out
Most AI jobs today focus on prototypes, experimentation, and proof-of-concepts.
This role is different.
You’ll be responsible for building AI systems that are actively used, trusted, and integrated into day-to-day operations. You’ll have the autonomy to identify opportunities, architect solutions, deploy production applications, and see the direct impact of your work across the business.
For engineers who enjoy operating at the intersection of:
- AI Agents
- LLM Infrastructure
- Full-Stack Product Development
- Data Systems
- Model Fine-Tuning
- Automation & Workflow Design
this is a rare opportunity to build something meaningful from an early stage.
What You’ll Be Building
AI Products & Agentic Systems
- Design and deploy AI agents that automate complex workflows.
- Build production-ready LLM applications for internal and external users.
- Develop agent orchestration frameworks and AI-powered decision-support systems.
- Create scalable architectures that move beyond demos into real-world business applications.
Generative AI Infrastructure
- Implement RAG pipelines and vector database architectures.
- Develop evaluation frameworks to measure model performance and reliability.
- Fine-tune and customize models using LoRA and modern adaptation techniques.
- Work with open-source and commercial LLM ecosystems.
Full-Stack Product Development
- Develop backend services and APIs in Python.
- Build user-facing applications using modern frontend frameworks such as React and TypeScript.
- Create intuitive interfaces that make AI useful for technical and non-technical users alike.
Data & Platform Engineering
- Design scalable data architectures and database-backed applications.
- Connect AI systems with operational and business data sources.
- Ensure applications are observable, maintainable, secure, and performant in production environments.
What We’re Looking For
We are interested in builders.
The ideal candidate has experience taking an idea from concept to deployment and can comfortably operate across multiple layers of the stack.
Core Requirements
- Strong professional software engineering experience in Python.
- Experience building production-grade AI applications.
- Hands-on experience with:
- AI Agents
- RAG architectures
- Vector databases
- LangChain, LangGraph, or similar frameworks
- LoRA fine-tuning workflows
- LLM evaluation methodologies
- Experience developing APIs, backend services, and scalable systems.
- Strong understanding of application security and software architecture.
- Demonstrated ability to build software that real users depend on.
Bonus Points
- React and TypeScript expertise.
- Experience serving or self-hosting open-source models.
- Experience with GGUF, Safetensors, or model optimization workflows.
- Background in distributed systems, platform engineering, or MLOps.
- Startup mentality with a bias toward execution and ownership.
Who Thrives Here
This environment is best suited for engineers who:
- Move quickly without sacrificing quality.
- Prefer ownership over bureaucracy.
- Want direct access to business leaders and decision-makers.
- Enjoy turning ambiguity into working products.
- Are excited by the opportunity to build AI systems that become mission-critical to an organization.
You’ll be joining a team that views AI as a strategic advantage-not a side project.
Location Requirement
This role is based in Fort Worth, Texas and requires onsite presence four days per week.
This requirement is non-negotiable. The company believes the strongest outcomes come from close collaboration between engineering, operations, and leadership teams, and has intentionally built an onsite-first culture around innovation and execution.
Compensation
- Base salary up to $300,000
- Meaningful equity participation
- Long-term wealth creation opportunity
- Executive visibility and influence
- Opportunity to help define the future direction of AI within the organization
