A growing technology company operating in the healthcare and legal data space is looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help develop advanced AI capabilities within its platform.

The organisation works with large volumes of complex clinical and legal data and is investing heavily in machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models to automate analysis and generate meaningful insights.

The Role

You will design and deploy LLM and NLP-driven solutions, taking ownership of the full life cycle from experimentation through to production. Working closely with data, engineering, and product teams, you'll help deliver scalable AI systems that operate reliably in production environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and deploy NLP and LLM-based models
  • Fine-tune foundation models using domain-specific datasets
  • Build and maintain MLOps pipelines for training, testing, and deployment
  • Implement monitoring, evaluation, and optimisation of AI models
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI capabilities into the wider platform

Required Experience

  • Strong background in AI/Machine Learning engineering
  • Expertise in NLP, LLMs, and transformer-based architectures
  • Experience with RAG, agents, or prompt engineering
  • Hands-on knowledge of MLOps, CI/CD, and model deployment
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or similar containerisation tools

Desirable

  • Experience working in regulated or sensitive data environments
  • Exposure to graph-based retrieval or knowledge graphs
  • Familiarity with cloud ML platforms (Azure or similar)

This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI systems tackling complex real-world problems in a collaborative and fast-growing environment.
