Senior Applied AI Software Engineer

Role Purpose Building production systems powered by software engineering, data science and modern AI. We are seeking a hands-on Senior Applied AI Software Engineer to design, build and deploy production systems that combine software engineering, data science, large language models (LLMs), agentic AI and intelligent automation. This is a software engineering role first and an AI role second. We are looking for someone who enjoys building real systems, shipping code and solving business problems, while applying modern AI technologies where they create meaningful value. You will work alongside Data Scientists, Engineers, IT teams and Business Analysts to transform ideas, models and business requirements into robust, scalable solutions. This includes operationalising statistical and decision-science models, building AI-powered products and workflows, selecting and integrating foundation models, optimising cost and performance, and developing agent-based systems that automate and enhance complex business processes. Initial focus areas include digital twin platforms, operational decision-support systems, AI-enabled research products, intelligent workflow automation, Copilot-style experiences and agentic AI solutions embedded across the organisation. Success in the role will be measured by the delivery of reliable, maintainable production systems that create measurable business value, rather than experimentation alone.
