- Develop agentic workflows combining LLMs, structured data, business logic, external services, and retrieval mechanisms.
- Create memory, context, and personalisation capabilities to improve agent effectiveness.
- Implement guardrails, monitoring, evaluation frameworks, escalation paths, and human oversight mechanisms.
- Measure and improve agent performance across quality, reliability, latency, utilisation, and cost metrics.
Full-Stack Application Development
- Build user-facing applications that enable interaction with AI-powered experiences.
- Develop modern frontend applications using frameworks such as React, Angular, Next.js, or comparable technologies.
- Create backend services, APIs, orchestration layers, and integration services using Python-based frameworks.

Data & AI Infrastructure
- Build and maintain data ingestion, integration, and transformation pipelines.
- Develop and support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions and enterprise search capabilities.
- Design systems supporting context management, retrieval, memory, and personalisation.
- Integrate AI solutions with databases, APIs, analytics platforms, and enterprise applications.
- Ensure data quality, security, reliability, and scalability across AI systems.
LLM Engineering
- Integrate and orchestrate large language models within production environments.
- Design prompting strategies, retrieval approaches, tool-calling frameworks, and multi-step workflows.
- Build AI-powered capabilities including conversational assistants, document intelligence, semantic search, and workflow automation.
- Evaluate models, architectures, and AI platforms for performance, reliability, business fit, and cost efficiency.
- Establish monitoring and evaluation methodologies for production AI solutions.
Engineering Excellence
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity while maintaining high code quality standards.
- Stay current with emerging AI frameworks, tooling, and industry best practices.
- Implement CI/CD, testing, observability, security, and production monitoring practices.
- Support reliable deployment and ongoing optimisation of AI-enabled applications.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong full-stack development experience across frontend and backend technologies.
- Proven experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and backend services.
- Experience working with data-intensive applications and enterprise integrations.
- Hands-on experience developing AI agents, autonomous workflows, or LLM-powered applications.
- Strong understanding of LLMs, RAG, tool usage, orchestration frameworks, and AI application architectures.
- Experience integrating AI systems with APIs, databases, enterprise platforms, and third-party services.
- Frontend experience with React, Angular, Next.js, or similar frameworks.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools within software delivery workflows.
- Experience designing agent memory, retrieval, context, evaluation, or reasoning systems.
- Strong understanding of cloud-native application development and deployment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with modern data-platform or lakehouse architectures.
- Experience deploying applications on public cloud platforms.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and cloud operations.
- Experience working within agile software delivery environments.
- Experience building highly scalable enterprise applications.
What Success Looks Like
- Demonstrates an AI-first engineering mindset focused on intelligent workflows rather than simple AI integrations.
- Comfortable operating across software engineering, AI, data, and infrastructure domains.
- Balances innovation with reliability, observability, governance, and security.
- Strong product mindset with a focus on measurable business outcomes.
- Effective communicator who collaborates with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Thrives in fast-moving environments where requirements and technologies evolve rapidly.
