The Role
Are you a high-level technical builder ready to orchestrate the next generation of AI innovation for the world’s most forward-thinking racing series? We are looking for an AI Enablement Engineer to join the Formula E team. This isn't just a backend coding role; it is a mission-critical position where you will serve as the primary architect bridging the gap between raw data systems and user-facing requirements, ensuring our internal teams have the cutting-edge AI tools they need to operate at peak performance.
You will be the vital bridge between advanced technical capabilities and our non-technical business departments. You will balance meticulous cloud governance and security with high-velocity prototyping, ensuring that while the action unfolds on the track, our internal operations run on seamless, secure and scalable automated systems that uphold the brand's global edge.
Responsibilities
Custom Agent & App Engineering: You don't just write scripts; you own the application lifecycle. You work directly with cross-functional teams to map business logic, prototype solutions and build functional web applications, software agents and automated technical workflows using Python. From constructing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to integrating LLM environments like Vertex AI with internal databases, you build tools that actively transform how we work.
Secure Sandboxing & GCP Compliance: You are the technical guardian of our development environments. You maintain secure Google Cloud Platform (GCP) sandbox environments, managing IAM permissions to enforce least-privilege access controls. You ensure every internal tool and AI deployment is obsessively secure, cost-monitored and fully aligned with our cybersecurity and data compliance policies.
Productionising & Technical Handover: You turn early-stage ideas and rough workflows into robust, production-grade architectures. Partnering closely with our core Data and AI team, PMs and BAs, you ensure a clean technical handover. By maintaining highly organised code repositories, API schemas and technical documentation, you ensure our internal AI ecosystem scales smoothly and sustainably.
Qualifications
The Python & Cloud Craftsman: You possess a minimum of 2–3 years of hands‑on software development experience with a heavy emphasis on writing clean, production-grade Python. You have a proven track record of building and deploying web applications and configuring APIs within public cloud infrastructure, specifically Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Vertex AI, Cloud Functions and BigQuery.
The Generative AI Architect: You bring a strong understanding of modern LLM frameworks, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, BigQuery Vector Search) and RAG pipeline architectures. You know how to integrate advanced AI models into practical, user-facing tools that solve real-world operational bottlenecks.
The Technical Translator: You are a collaborative builder with the unique ability to translate manual workflows and non-technical business needs into neat, structured technical requirements and working code. You thrive on deep technical consultation, helping stakeholders evaluate model selection, technical feasibility and application design.
The Detail & Safety Oriented Professional: You are a self-starter and a restless problem-solver who genuinely enjoys the challenge of turning raw ideas into sleek, automated apps. Crucially, you are obsessive about maintaining absolute system security, data privacy boundaries and cost guardrails in a fast-paced global sporting environment.
