✅ Solve meaningful business problems using AI

✅ Influence architecture and technical direction

✅ Collaborate within a culture of engineering excellence

✅ Contribute to responsible and secure AI adoption

### What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing, building, and scaling intelligent software solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

Developing AI-powered applications using Python and .NET

Designing and implementing advanced Generative AI solutions

Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures that combine LLM capabilities with organisational knowledge

Working with embeddings, semantic search, and vector databases

Designing and orchestrating agentic AI workflows capable of complex, long-running tasks

Implementing Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) capabilities to ensure governance, quality, and operational control

Developing AI evaluation frameworks to measure performance, accuracy, safety, and business impact

Establishing observability, monitoring, and diagnostics across AI systems

Partnering with technical and business stakeholders to deliver scalable and secure solutions

Driving engineering best practices throughout the software development lifecycle

Contributing to architecture decisions, innovation initiatives, and proof-of-concept development

### What We're Looking For

### Essential Skills & Experience

Strong professional software development experience with Python and .NET

Hands-on experience building solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs)

Proven experience with:

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

Content embeddings

Semantic search

Vector databases

Experience designing and implementing agentic AI workflows
