⢠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.
⢠Youâre comfortable navigating ambiguity and building solutions that work in the real world.
Whatâs 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
