AI Native SW Eng

Salary: £61,000 - 101,000 per year

Requirements:

• Extensive software engineering experience in production environments
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment
• Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent at production depth
• Direct experience calling LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Vertex AI in production code, including provider abstraction, token management, latency, and cost tradeoffs
• RAG pipeline ownership, including embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering
• LLMOps fundamentals, including eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability
• Cloud-native engineering maturity with Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC such as Terraform or Helm
• Strong Python skills; Java or an equivalent backend language is acceptable
• Production debugging and observability experience
• People leadership experience, including managing, developing, and performance-managing a team of engineers, setting individual development plans, and conducting career conversations

Responsibilities:

• Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems at enterprise scale, including multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, policy-based routing, memory management, and programme-level lifecycle observability
• Define RAG pipeline standards across engagements, including chunking and embedding strategies, quality benchmarks, and metric-backed tradeoff decisions
• Set multi-LLM integration standards with vendor-agnostic architecture, fallback routing, and cost governance across providers
• Own LLMOps at programme scale, including eval strategy, prompt governance, observability tooling standards, safety monitoring, and cost controls across multiple concurrent systems
• Lead client engineering engagements at a senior level, facilitate architecture design sessions, lead proof-of-concept delivery, and align client technology leadership with delivery teams
• Shape and publish reusable patterns, accelerators, and engineering standards that scale across the practice and reduce ramp-up time on new client engagements
• Own the measurement framework for agentic system quality by defining accuracy, latency, safety, and cost metrics and presenting programme-level AI impact in business terms to senior client stakeholders
