About the Role:
This is a principal-level, hands-on engineering role for someone who wants to shape GenAI platforms at scale, not just experiment with models.

- Design and develop robust backend systems and APIs for AI-driven products and agent-based frameworks
- Integrate LLMs into secure, scalable, enterprise-grade systems
- Build reusable frameworks for model development, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
- Implement monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting across GenAI systems
- Define and enforce guardrails, compliance rules, and governance workflows(e.g. approval chains, staged rollouts, controlled production releases)
- Create developer templates, documentation, and sandbox environments to enable rapid experimentation and onboarding
- Ensure GenAI applications are safe, reliable, and well-tested before release through validation and peer review processes
- Champion strong software engineering practices across teams and projects
- Mentor senior engineers and act as a technical leader and problem-solver
Qualifications:
Looking for someone who brings both depth and breadth:
- Proven experience leading AI or GenAI projects end-to-end, from concept to production
- Strong professional background in software engineering, especially backend systems and APIs
- Hands-on expertise with: Python (Django or similar frameworks) and JavaScript / TypeScript (React)
- Solid understanding of: Backend architectures; REST / GraphQL APIs; Data modelling and system design
- Experience with containerisation and cloud platforms (Docker, GCP, Azure, or similar)
- Exposure to agentic and orchestration frameworks such as: LangChain; LangGraph; Semantic Kernel
- Practical experience with SQL and NoSQL databases
- Strong foundation in software design principles and scalable system architecture
- Demonstrated leadership and mentoring capability
- Excellent communication skills able to explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Strategic mindset with a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and building at scale
- Broad SME-level exposure to AI, ML, deep learning, data science, analytics, big data, cloud, mobile, and full-stack technologies
- Hands-on experience analysing large, complex datasets to drive business insights
Why is This a Great Opportunity:
- Opportunity to build enterprise-grade GenAI platforms, not just prototypes
- Work with global clients and real-world, high-impact AI use cases
- High ownership, visibility, and influence on architecture and standards
- Strong management/ leadership exposure and long-term growth potential
- Work alongside seasoned data architects, AI engineers, and business translators
