About The Role

Leadership and Delivery

  • Lead project delivery end to end, with clear governance, stakeholder communication, and accountability for outcomes
  • Build and mentor a high-performing AI engineering team, establishing technical standards and fostering a culture of quality and pragmatism
  • Own proposals and new business initiatives, defining technical feasibility and communicating risks and tradeoffs clearly to clients
  • Define what AI systems should and should not attempt, setting realistic expectations and being upfront about limitations
  • Conduct technical reviews and architectural assessments to maintain high standards across projects and team

AI Development

  • Guide the design and delivery of RAG systems, agentic frameworks, and LLM-powered solutions that are robust enough for production
  • Lead the application of advanced prompt engineering techniques including instruction design, few-shot sets, structured outputs, and tool/agent prompts
  • Run feasibility assessments to choose the right approach for each problem: prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, or classical ML
  • Mentor engineers on end-to-end AI system design and production deployment practices

Evaluation and Quality

  • Design evaluation frameworks including LLM-as-a-judge approaches, metric creation (recall@k, precision@k), and go/no-go gates
  • Lead structured experiments across prompts, retrievers, chunking strategies, and models, grounded in evidence not intuition
  • Establish team practices for identifying and categorising model failures including hallucinations, retrieval misses, and instruction-following errors
  • Set quality standards that ensure AI systems meet production reliability requirements

MLOps and Infrastructure

  • Build scalable inference infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for AI/ML models that support rapid iteration and reliable deployment
  • Automate the full MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle: tracking, versioning, deployment, monitoring, and retraining across the team
  • Design APIs, microservices, and orchestration layers optimised for latency, cost, and reliability
  • Lead infrastructure decisions that balance technical excellence with business efficiency

What We Are Looking For

  • 7+ years building and deploying AI solutions in production environments
  • 2+ years of direct team leadership or technical management experience
  • Expert Python proficiency, strong Git practices, and experience with ML/LLM versioning and deployment
  • Solid cloud experience across AWS, Azure, or GCP—preference for Azure—plus containerisation and orchestration knowledge
  • Hands-on RAG experience covering chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, and evaluation
  • Proven MLOps/LLMOps track record using tools like MLflow, Weights and Biases, or similar
  • Practical evaluation design skills: metrics, dataset curation, and structured experimentation
  • Experience with event-driven architectures, APIs, and microservices
  • A clear communicator equally comfortable with engineering teams and senior stakeholders
  • Strong hiring and team-building instincts with proven mentoring experience

What about languages?

  • English: Advanced (required for effective communication with global teams and client leadership).
  • How much experience must I have?
  • 7+ years of hands-on AI/ML engineering experience in production environments, with 2+ years of direct team leadership or technical management responsibility.

Nice to Have

  • Databricks MLOps platform
  • LLM fine-tuning experience
  • Building agentic GenAI systems
  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Security and observability for AI services
  • Classical ML background
  • Open-source contributions
