Lead AI Engineer

A well funded, fast growing software company has recently taken an AI powered product from concept into live production, used daily by a large and growing customer base.

They are now looking for a Lead AI Engineer to help build the next layer of agentic capability on top of it. This is a full stack engineering role with a strong AI lean, not a data science role.

What you'll own

• Design and build production grade AI and agentic systems that take real actions inside the platform, not internal tools or research prototypes
• Work across the full lifecycle, from design through deployment to what happens after release, including monitoring behaviour and handling edge cases once real users are relying on the system
• Contribute across backend, primarily with occasional frontend involvement
• Collaborate closely with data and platform engineers to keep AI features fed with the right data
• Iterate based on real usage patterns, adjusting or retraining as the system drifts or as user needs shift

What you'll bring

• Genuine experience shipping AI or agentic capability into a live production environment, not just building and evaluating models
• Solid engineering fundamentals, testing, code review, CI/CD, and a track record of maintaining systems after release, not just building them
• Experience with LLMs, RAG, or agent based systems is a strong plus
• Frontend exposure, React or similar, is useful but not essential
