Help us create a better future, quicker

We’re looking for an Agentic AI Developer to shape the next generation of autonomous AI systems. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of advanced reasoning, multi‑step orchestration, and enterprise‑grade integration. You’ll design and build AI agents capable of planning, taking action, and navigating complex workflows, using modern agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, and Python.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work end‑to‑end on intelligent systems that go far beyond simple chat interfaces—developing agents that use tools, call functions, orchestrate processes, and connect seamlessly with enterprise platforms including CRM, ERP, Teams, and Moodle. Strong prompt engineering will be central to your work as you optimise performance, reliability, and accuracy across a range of use cases. A key part of the role involves managing and leveraging knowledge through vector databases, semantic search, and RAG pipelines, enabling agents to access and use information intelligently. You will also take responsibility for building safe and compliant systems, ensuring guardrails, access controls, and secure API interactions are in place. Collaboration is essential, and you’ll work closely with data engineers, ML engineers, and stakeholders to translate business needs into robust, scalable agentic solutions.

To succeed, you’ll bring strong Python expertise—alongside experience in C#, JavaScript, or Go if possible—and a solid grounding in GenAI, embeddings, and modern AI/ML concepts. Familiarity with Azure, AWS, or GCP, as well as microservices, APIs, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and vector search technologies such as Azure AI Search, will also be valuable. If you’re passionate about building autonomous AI systems that deliver real impact in enterprise environments, this is an opportunity to work at the forefront of a rapidly evolving field. Let’s build what’s next.
