About the role
We are building a rapidly maturing enterprise AI capability and are now ready to take it to the next level. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who loves turning ideas into real, production ready AI tools that people actually use. You will join an established and highly capable team, working across the full lifecycle from concept through to deployment, helping shape how AI is designed, delivered and scaled across the organisation.

• Embed Responsible AI, privacy and security controls into everything you build
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to strong engineering practices
• Collaborate closely with architects, data engineers, MLOps, security and senior leaders

What will you bring?

You will be a strong Python engineer with solid software development fundamentals, comfortable designing and building production grade systems. You will have experience delivering AI solutions beyond proof of concept and into live environments, and enjoy working across the full development lifecycle. You will bring a practical understanding of generative AI, large language models and modern AI frameworks, along with experience building APIs, services and integrations. You will be comfortable working in agile environments, collaborating with a wide range of technical and non-technical stakeholders, and balancing speed with quality, security and governance.
