This is a hands-on technical role focused on building sovereign, compliant, and autonomous AI solutions that scale. What You'll Do Architect Agentic Systems: Design and deploy production-ready multi-agent ecosystems capable of advanced tool calling, state management, long-term memory, and autonomous execution. Build Orchestration Pipelines: Create and operationalise complex AI workflows using modern orchestration frameworks (eg, LangChain, LangGraph). Secure System Interoperability: Implement cutting-edge integration patterns-including Model Context Protocol (MCP)-to connect LLMs seamlessly and securely with client data, tools, and Legacy systems. Industrialise AI Delivery: Establish reusable architectural patterns, robust evaluation pipelines, and standardised deployment frameworks to move AI from prototype to enterprise scale. Integrate Enterprise Data: Develop high-performance APIs and integrate vector databases into live, automated business workflows. Enforce Governance & Guardrails: Embed strict AI safety measures, comprehensive logging, automated guardrails, and human-in-the-loop controls to guarantee responsible, compliant system behaviour. Drive LLMOps Excellence: Collaborate on cloud-native CI/CD pipelines and MLOps/LLMOps practices tailored for highly regulated environments. What We're Looking For Proven Track Record: At least 7 years of deep technical experience designing, developing, and launching scalable AI applications built around LLMs and RAG. Active Vetting: Current SC Clearance is mandatory; active NPPV3 is a distinct advantage. Enterprise Integration Skills: Proven ability to merge advanced AI workflows with standard IT infrastructure, database systems, and secure networks. Production Mindset: Strong commitment to rigorous testing, continuous monitoring, and operational support models for live AI applications.
