Your new company A global professional services organisation supporting large enterprises across multiple industries, combining process expertise with data and AI to drive operational transformation. Your new role Youll be a founding engineer in a small, highperforming AI team building productionready AI solutions at speed. This is a handson role where you own the full lifecycle, shaping the problem with clients, designing the architecture, building working solutions, and explaining the technical tradeoffs directly to senior decisionmakers. Youll focus on agentic AI, LLM integrations, and datadriven applications, delivering real, usable outcomes in days rather than months. This is not a backoffice build role. Youll be trusted as the technical authority in the room, combining strong engineering judgment with clear, pragmatic communication. What you'll need to succeed Handson engineering strength, with the ability and appetite to build fullstack, productionready applications and stay deep in the code.

Clear architectural judgement, able to make sound tradeoff decisions quickly and articulate them confidently to senior technical stakeholders. Comfort with ambiguity, thriving in environments where problems are loosely defined and speed of delivery matters. Clientfacing confidence, able to present and defend solutions not just demos to senior engineers, architects, and CTOlevel audiences. Strong ownership and collaboration, bringing accountability, momentum, and impact in a small team where every contribution counts.
