A venture-backed AI technology company is building production-grade intelligent systems used by large, complex organisations to automate high-stakes workflows. The platform focuses on reliability, scale, and safety, turning experimental AI capabilities into tools that can be trusted in real operational environments. They are hiring a Applied AI Engineer to help design and operate the core systems.

The Opportunity

This role is focused on building and operationalising AI systems. You’ll be responsible for turning large language models into reliable, observable, and continuously improving production systems.
