• Building production-ready pipelines, not just notebooks

• Commercial experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications
• Experience with RAG pipelines, embeddings, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks
• Strong Python fundamentals and production system design experience
• Cloud exposure (AWS, Azure or GCP) and modern containerised environments
• Experience operating in consultancy, studio, or innovation-led environments
• The ability to engage clients confidently and shape technical direction
• You care about applied impact, not just model accuracy.
• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and building solutions that work in the real world.
What’s on Offer
• Salary up to £130,000 (flex) depending on experience
• Bonus and strong benefits structure
• Hybrid working (London-based team)
• Exposure to varied, complex AI problems across multiple industries
• Real ownership of architecture decisions
• A leading innovative consultancy culture that prioritises engineering quality over process theatre
