What the hiring manager says
You are not expected to be an AI expert, but have a strong interest in transitioning to the role in a senior capacity. You will be working for a world class AI applications and systems team. This is a new team with the opportunity to play a foundational role. We are moving from a successful proof‑of‑concept to product prototype phase. You will have the opportunity to learn new techniques and algorithms at the cutting edge of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Model limitations (LLM).
About the Team
The team is led by someone with more than 25 years AI experience in bio‑inspired architectures, reinforcement learning, expert systems, scheduling, meta‑heuristics, robotics and natural language processing (including LLMs). We have recruited an experienced scientific computing developer with a strong mathematics background in theoretical physics, whose responsibilities relate to distributed systems and the GPU optimisation of AI algorithms. We expect the team to grow in size considerably over the next few years and are currently looking for someone with complementary expertise as a senior member of the team.
About the Role
- Optimisation of existing algorithms and third‑party technology evaluation integration, together with general programming roles.
- Ownership and responsibility for existing code, with a view to maintenance and enhancement.

About You
You possess an academic background in mathematics, physics or engineering and have a passion for programming (desirable). Academic skills should include literature search, mathematical fluency, critical thinking and inventiveness with regards to designing algorithm and model architectures. You have proven programming skills, including implementing complex algorithms, testing, verification and may have written code for accessibility tools or productivity tools. Although not essential it would be valuable if the candidate had some exposure to user development of LLMs; telecommunications related expertise would be a bonus but is not mandatory. Any knowledge of AI techniques related to NLP, Reinforcement Learning, or Agent‑based‑modelling are desirable, but are not essential. Candidates that have followed a non‑conventional career paths are encouraged to apply, however high numeracy skills and demonstrable programming experience are essential. It is desirable that you have (at a minimum) a Master’s degree or Doctorate qualification. You demonstrate effective team skills including being adaptable and collaborative.
