Job Description You build the systems that actually make AI work in enterprise environments, not demos, not prototypes that stall after a pilot, but production agentic architectures running inside real client organizations. The difference between an AI Engineer and what we are looking for is straightforward: you have shipped a multi-agent system in production, you have owned the eval harness, and you know what happens when your agent fails at 2am because you have lived it. As an AI Engineer (Agentic/Applied), you will design, build, and deploy production-grade agentic AI systems across the full enterprise technology stack. You will work directly with client engineering teams, lead technical design sessions, and build reusable patterns and accelerators that scale beyond individual engagements. This role sits at the heart of the AI engineering talent market - demand is growing faster than supply and will continue to do so. We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity, combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams and a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineer programme. Key Responsibilities Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems at enterprise scale: multi-agent orchestration across complex environments, RAG pipelines, policy-based routing, memory management, and programme-level lifecycle observability Define RAG pipeline standards across engagements: establish chunking and embedding strategies, set quality benchmarks, and ensure metric-backed tradeoff decisions are documented and transferable Set multi-LLM integration standards: vendor-agnostic architecture by default, fallback routing and cost governance as standard design practice across providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, and open-source models Own LLMOps at programme scale: eval strategy, prompt governance, observability tooling standards, safety monitoring and cost controls across multiple concurrent systems Lead client engineering engagements at senior level - facilitate architecture design sessions, lead proof-of-concept delivery, and drive alignment between client technology leadership and delivery teams Shape and publish reusable patterns, accelerators, and engineering standards that scale across the practice and reduce ramp-up time on new client engagements Own the measurement framework for agentic system quality: define accuracy, latency, safety, and cost metrics; present programme-level AI impact in business terms to senior client stakeholders Qualification Software engineering experience in production environments Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment - non-negotiable Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent - at production depth, not tutorial level Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code: provider abstraction, token management, latency and cost tradeoffs RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering LLMOps fundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability Cloud-native engineering maturity: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC (Terraform or Helm) Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language acceptable; production debugging and observability experience Quality of experience is weighted over years, a candidate who has shipped three production agentic systems in four years is preferred over a generalist with passive AI exposure People lead responsibilities: experience managing, developing, and performance-managing a team of engineers; setting individual development plans and conducting career conversations Locations Newcastle Equal Employment Opportunity Statement All employment decisions shall be made without regard to age, race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, citizenship status or any other basis as protected by federal, state, or local law.

Location: Milton Keynes (5 days office-based, with occasional travel to London and Newcastle) Team: People Team Reports to: Head of Talent Acquisition and Engagement (working closely with the Workplace & Community Manager) About the Role This role is central to how Rightmove feels as a place to work.

You'll take the lead on the smooth running of our Milton Keynes office (your primary base), with coordination responsibilities across our London and Newcastle sites when needed too. Day to day, that spans everything from dealing with issues, overseeing suppliers, through to making sure our offices are well-stocked, safe, welcoming, and consistently well run. You'll also get stuck into local events, engagement activity, and workplace experience - lending a hand to the wider People Team wherever it's needed. This is a visible, hands on role. You'll be a familiar and friendly presence, helping to shape the experience of every Rightmover, visitor, and new joiner who comes through our doors. A note from your future manager - "This role will keep our workplace running smoothly, day in, and day out. By bringing together facilities, workplace experience and community, with a dose of excellence and fun, it enables every Rightmover to focus on doing their best work." What You'll Be Doing Office Operations & Facilities Take ownership of the day-to-day running of the Milton Keynes office, and coordinate workplace services across London and Newcastle where needed. Be the first point of contact for employees to ask questions, flag issues and swiftly sort out problems of a varied nature. Act as the go-to contact for building management, maintenance contractors, suppliers, and general facilities queries, working closely with the Workplace & Community Manager. Order and manage all workplace supplies - kitchen, stationery, bathrooms, furniture and more - keeping the office well-stocked and welcoming. Manage visitor processes, front-of-house, and deliveries. Carry out regular floor walks to make sure standards stay consistently high. Maintain accurate facilities records and compliance documentation. Support process mapping and forward planning for key workplace activities. Flag issues promptly to the Workplace & Community Manager. Health, Safety & Compliance Take ownership of fire, health and safety compliance - keeping procedures current, delivering inductions, and making sure our offices meet the required standards. Maintain up-to-date records for Fire Wardens, First Aiders, and H&S documentation, ensuring current lists are displayed across all locations. Arrange refresher training as needed. Manage our annual DSE assessment process. Ensure compliance certificates and statutory checks are logged and stored correctly. Events & People Experience Help plan and deliver local workplace events and celebrations - covering logistics, setup, and running things on the day. Assist with logistics for internal campaigns, engagement initiatives, and D&I moments throughout the year. Be a helpful, approachable first point of contact for workplace queries. Culture & Communications Set the tone for how our offices are used, sharing clear guidelines and encouraging good workplace habits across Rightmovers.

ou build the systems that actually make AI work in enterprise environments, not demos, not prototypes that stall after a pilot, but production agentic architectures running inside real client organizations. The difference between an AI Engineer and what we are looking for is straightforward: you have shipped a multi agent system in production, you have owned the eval harness, and you know what happens when your agent fails at 2am because you have lived it. As an AI Engineer (Agentic/Applied), you will design, build, and deploy production grade agentic AI systems across the full enterprise technology stack. You will work directly with client engineering teams, lead technical design sessions, and build reusable patterns and accelerators that scale beyond individual engagements. This role sits at the heart of the AI engineering talent market - demand is growing faster than supply and will continue to do so. We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity, combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams and a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineer programme. Key Responsibilities Architect and govern production grade agentic systems at enterprise scale: multi agent orchestration across complex environments, RAG pipelines, policy based routing, memory management, and programme level lifecycle observability Define RAG pipeline standards across engagements: establish chunking and embedding strategies, set quality benchmarks, and ensure metric backed tradeoff decisions are documented and transferable Set multi LLM integration standards: vendor agnostic architecture by default, fallback routing and cost governance as standard design practice across providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, and open source models Own LLMOps at programme scale: eval strategy, prompt governance, observability tooling standards, safety monitoring and cost controls across multiple concurrent systems Lead client engineering engagements at senior level - facilitate architecture design sessions, lead proof of concept delivery, and drive alignment between client technology leadership and delivery teams Shape and publish reusable patterns, accelerators, and engineering standards that scale across the practice and reduce ramp up time on new client engagements Own the measurement framework for agentic system quality: define accuracy, latency, safety, and cost metrics; present programme level AI impact in business terms to senior client stakeholders Qualifications Software engineering experience in production environments Hands on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment - non negotiable Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent - at production depth, not tutorial level Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code: provider abstraction, token management, latency and cost tradeoffs RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering LLMOps fundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability Cloud native engineering maturity: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC (Terraform or Helm) Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language acceptable; production debugging and observability experience Quality of experience is weighted over years, a candidate who has shipped three production agentic systems in four years is preferred over a generalist with passive AI exposure People lead responsibilities: experience managing, developing, and performance managing a team of engineers; setting individual development plans and conducting career conversations Equal Employment Opportunity StatementWe believe that no one should be discriminated against because of their differences.All employment decisions shall be made without regard to age, race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, citizenship status or any other basis as protected by applicable law.Our rich diversity makes us more innovative, more competitive, and more creative, which helps us better serve our clients and our communities.

About Scrumconnect Consulting Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy, recognised for delivering impactful and innovative technology solutions across UK government departments. Our work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference - and we're now scaling that expertise into large, high-stakes AI adoption programmes across the public sector. Overview We're looking for a Lead AI Engineer to be the hands-on technical builder at the core of a large-scale AI Operating Model programme for a central government department. Where the Lead Technical Architect sets direction, you turn it into working, production-grade systems - semantic search, RAG pipelines, and broader generative AI capability - integrated into complex Legacy and multi-cloud environments handling high-volume, sensitive public sector data. You'll work inside a collaborative "Rainbow Team" alongside civil servants and the wider delivery team, staying close to the code while also mentoring engineers and helping build the internal capability the department needs to eventually run these systems without long-term reliance on external suppliers. Key Responsibilities Hands-On Build & Delivery Design, build, and ship production AI components - RAG pipelines, retrieval and embedding infrastructure, orchestration logic, and integration layers - writing high-quality, tested, maintainable code and staying close to implementation rather than delegating it away. Technical Leadership Within the Squad Lead the engineering practice within your delivery team: set coding standards, review designs and pull requests, unblock technically complex problems, and mentor other engineers day to day. Responsible AI in Practice Implement the guardrails the Architect designs - bias mitigation checks, evaluation harnesses, human-in-the-loop review points - so that Responsible AI principles (ATRS alignment, NCSC "Secure by Design, " meaningful human control) are enforced in the running system, not just on paper. Reliability, Security & Observability Build AI services to be secure-by-default and observable in production: logging, monitoring, alerting, and rollback paths appropriate for sensitive public-sector data and high-availability requirements. Knowledge Transfer & Capability Uplift Work within the OKUA (Ownership, Knowledge, Understanding, Awareness) framework and "Docs-as-Code" practices to pair with and upskill internal government engineers, so capability genuinely transfers rather than staying locked in the consultancy team. Efficient, Sustainable Engineering Favour low-modality, resource-efficient designs where they meet the need - right-sizing models and infrastructure rather than defaulting to the largest/most expensive option - in line with the programme's Green AI and Net Zero commitments. Required Skills & Experience Loosely mapped to the Government Digital and Data (DDaT) framework, at Lead Engineer level: - Coding and Scripting (Expert) - writing production-grade, well-tested code; setting standards for others; comfortable owning components end-to-end. - Systems Design (Practitioner) - designing components that integrate cleanly into a wider, architect-defined system; understanding trade-offs across the stack. - Data Engineering (Practitioner) - building reliable pipelines to ingest, clean, and prepare data (including unstructured/Legacy sources) for AI consumption. - DevOps/Continuous Delivery (Practitioner) - CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployment for AI workloads specifically (not just conventional web services). - Testing & Evaluation (Practitioner) - beyond conventional unit/integration testing, building evaluation harnesses for AI system quality: retrieval accuracy, hallucination rate, bias/fairness checks. - Problem Solving (Practitioner) - diagnosing and resolving complex, ambiguous technical issues under production pressure. - Agile Working (Practitioner) - delivering iteratively within a blended, multidisciplinary team including civil servants. Given the scale of this programme, direct hands-on depth across the AI engineering stack is essential: - Strong general-purpose programming (most commonly Python) applied to AI/ML systems - Semantic search, vector/embedding infrastructure, and RAG pipeline construction - LLM orchestration and agentic frameworks (eg LangChain/LlamaIndex-style tooling, multi-agent patterns) - Prompt engineering and systematic evaluation/guardrail tooling (hallucination detection, safety testing) - LLMOps/MLOps - model versioning, deployment, monitoring, and rollback for AI services in production - Cloud-native engineering across major providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including their AI/ML tooling - Containerisation and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable, auditable deployments - Secure-by-design engineering appropriate to sensitive public-sector data Desirable Experience - AWS/Azure/GCP certifications (associate or professional level) - Prior delivery of AI or digital services within UK central government or wider public sector - Experience fine-tuning or adapting open-source/foundation models for a specific domain - Open-source contributions or active engagement in AI/ML engineering communities - Experience designing for sustainability/Green IT commitments - The technological capabilities can span a wide range of AI and automation tools, including Virtual Assistants, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Frontier LLMs, and Predictive AI. A strong candidate would have experience/exposure to nuances of these tools/technologies. Location and Working Pattern Hybrid, based from Newcastle upon Tyne, with on-site attendance required for workshops, knowledge-transfer sessions, and onboarding. All production system and data access must be performed solely from within the UK. How We Work Our values: - Collaboration - we are stronger as a team than as individuals; we tackle problems and celebrate wins together. - Create Value Early - we find the quickest route from idea to product, because our clients rely on us to do what's best. - Integrity - teamwork requires trust; we can always be relied upon to uphold the highest standards. - Commitment - no matter what, no matter how, we give our 100% to keeping our promises and achieving our goals. - Diversity and Inclusion - we believe diversity drives innovation and better outcomes, and we're committed to an inclusive environment where every individual is valued, respected, and supported. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including women, people with disabilities, and diverse communities, as well as those seeking flexible working arrangements. As a Disability Confident Level 1 employer, we provide reasonable adjustments throughout recruitment and employment to ensure equal opportunity for all. How to Apply Please submit your CV. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview. This role requires BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) clearance - please flag in your application if you already hold clearance.
