Play a key part in delivering impactful Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI solutions across a variety of industries. You will build and ship AI-powered products — from problem definition through to deployment and iteration — operating at the intersection of data science, technology, and business strategy.

This role is for someone who sees a problem and instinctively starts building. Not waiting for perfect requirements. Building. We look for people who see the gap and can't help themselves — they're already sketching the solution.

You thrive when a problem is messy and ill-defined. You know how to cut through complexity, run a quick experiment to test your assumptions, learn what is working, and iterate fast. You measure your success by what ships and the impact it creates — not by the elegance of your design document.

You are energised by ambiguity, not paralysed by it. When a solution doesn't work, you debug it, rethink your approach, and try again. You leave things better than you found them — cleaner, faster, more scalable — because continuous improvement is how you naturally operate.

Machine Learning & AI Development

• Solve complex, real-world business challenges using advanced ML and Generative AI techniques
• Design, build, and ship AI-powered tools, services, and experiments end-to-end
• Implement and optimise agentic AI workflows, multi-step reasoning pipelines, and RAG architectures
• Define strategies to embed, scale, and optimise ML models in production environments
• Experiment rapidly with new approaches — test early, learn fast, improve continuously
• Stay current with emerging AI research, tools, and techniques — and apply them before they become mainstream

Product Mindset & Delivery

• Break complex problems into simpler, testable, scalable components
• Take full ownership — from idea to deployed solution — without waiting to be told what to do next
• Balance speed of experimentation with robustness, security, and maintainability
• Document patterns and best practices to enable reuse and scaling across the practice
• Operate confidently in ambiguity — define the path forward when requirements are unclear

Business Impact & Collaboration

• Translate business problems into AI solutions with clear, measurable value
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to senior client leadership and non-technical stakeholders
• Contribute to capability building and knowledge sharing across the Data & AI practice

Required — Technical Skills

• Advanced Python — writing clean, production-grade code, not just scripts (OOP, async, packaging, testing)
• Generative AI & LLM development — prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, context window management
• Agentic AI frameworks — LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar; building multi-step autonomous workflows
• Machine Learning — model development, training, evaluation, and deployment
• APIs & backend development — FastAPI, REST APIs, microservices architecture
• Vector databases & embeddings
• Cloud platforms — Azure GCP, or AWS; deploying and managing AI/ML workloads at scale
• Version control & MLOps — Git, CI/CD pipelines, model versioning, monitoring in production
• Data handling

Required — Experience & Mindset

• Demonstrated end-to-end delivery: problem → build → deployed solution → iteration
• Strong experience with Generative AI in production — not just experimentation
• A track record of building working solutions, not just prototypes or proofs of concept
• Hands-on experience with LLM tooling (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or equivalent)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you debug fast and think in systems
• Comfortable working with messy, incomplete requirements and driving clarity through action
• English fluency and comfort working in global, cross-functional teams

Preferred

• Experience with NLP, computer vision, or multimodal AI models
• Knowledge of AI safety, guardrails, and responsible AI practices in production
• Familiarity with Snowflake, Databricks, or similar data platforms
• Prior experience acting as an AI champion or innovator within a larger organisation
• Consulting or client-facing delivery experience
• Bachelor or Master degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or related field

• Solution oriented mentality — sees a problem, starts building, ships, improves
• Experimental mindset — runs fast tests, learns from failure, iterates without ego
• Strong execution and delivery orientation
• Advanced AI engineering and Generative AI expertise
• Collaborative team player
• Curiosity and commitment to continuous learning
