Build and operate production-grade agent systems: Design reliable agentic systems that behave predictably under real-world constraints, including latency, cost, data quality, and failure modes, with strong patterns for state management, idempotency, and safe recovery. Create shared foundations for agent delivery: Develop the core primitives that enable teams to build agents consistently (runtime patterns, tool interfaces, context management, shared libraries) while avoiding one-off implementations. Establish a pragmatic Agent Development Life Cycle (ADLC): Implement evaluations, guardrails, tracing, monitoring, and release processes so agents can be measured, debugged, and improved continuously. Integrate ML and LLM components into production workflows: Work with ML/Data teams to productionise models and LLM capabilities with clear contracts, versioning, observability, and safe degradation patterns. Maintain clear domain boundaries as adoption scales: Define shared semantics for agent tools and data access, preventing domain drift while enabling teams to move quickly. Collaborate with Platform on infrastructure and developer tooling: Adopt and extend existing CI/CD, DevEx, and observability systems, contributing back where agentic workloads introduce new requirements. Success measures 3 months: Ship first flagship agentic workflow to production with defined KPI, runbook/on-call ownership, and baseline telemetry (success rate, latency, cost). 6 months: Ship additional workflows or expansions and implement lightweight ADLC: evals + guardrails + monitored rollouts + rollback. 12 months: Prove repeatable capability: 2+ product teams shipping on shared foundations, faster time-to-prod for new agents, and reliability/cost targets consistently met. Requirements Must-Haves: Architectural depth: Proven ability to design and evolve complex, stateful distributed systems spanning APIs, event-driven architectures, data systems, and agentic applications - where domain logic is the primary source of complexity. Proven patterns for high-throughput performance and scaling architecture to support hundreds of thousands of customers, while preventing domain drift. Proven experience building AI agents in production, not just demos, with a clear understanding of current best practices (agent architectures, tool calling, RAG where appropriate, prompt and context engineering). Ability to run AI/agentic systems reliably in production with observability, incident readiness, and cost controls. Deep experience with: AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, Event Bridge, Step Functions) Event-driven systems and asynchronous workflows Strong coding skills: deep hands-on experience with a variety of coding languages, and comfortable with a tech-agnostic approach. Familiarity with Python is a must-have. Agent quality discipline: hands-on experience with evaluations (offline and online), regression testing, safety guardrails, and monitoring for reliability, cost, and drift. Strong backend and distributed-systems fundamentals: APIs, asynchronous workflows, state management, idempotency, retries, and failure recovery in high-stakes workflows. Product & business alignment: Demonstrated ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes and customer experience. First-principles problem solving: Ability to reason from fundamentals (constraints, incentives, data and system behaviour) to design solutions in complex, high-stakes domains. Desirable: Experience building internal "paved paths" for agent development (shared libraries, templates, tool interfaces, DX improvements) adopted by multiple teams. Experience with agent tooling and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain) and modern evaluation stacks. Practical experience with retrieval systems (vector databases, semantic search, chunking strategies, data contracts for trustworthy context). Exposure to model operations (multi-provider routing, hosted inference, fine-tuning). Experience in regulated or high-correctness domains (energy, fintech, govtech), including auditability and safe degradation patterns. Familiarity with workflow orchestration and real-time systems (e.g. pricing engines, complex event-driven workflows). Benefits & Perks: Competitive salary - our current band for this role is £129,500 or equivalent in local currency. We review salaries twice a year using real-time market data, with transparent, consistent pay for the same role and level. Stock Options - everyone on the team has ownership in our mission. 25 days holiday + public holidays - Swap public holidays for ones that matter most to you. Plus, get an extra day off for your birthday . Remote & flexible working - We're fully remote with clear core hours, and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons. Home working & wellbeing budgets: Up to £1,200 / €1,200 annually to upgrade your remote setup (co-working passes, equipment, etc.). Up to £150 / €150 monthly on anything that supports your wellbeing - from therapy to gym memberships to meditation apps. ️ Interview Process: Our processes normally take around 2-3 weeks from first call to offer - please let us know about any adjustments to timelines that may be required. First call with our Talent Team (30 Mins). This is to understand your experience, motivations, and discuss the role in more detail. Behaviour Interview with our Engineering Managers (60 Mins).
