Engineering & Implementation

  • Write modular, maintainable, and well-documented code using Python and relevant technologies

  • Structure inputs, outputs, schemas, and metadata to ensure scalability and usability

  • Integrate AI components, including LLM APIs, into existing workflows

  • Ensure all builds are robust, production-ready, and suitable for technical handover

Deployment, Evaluation & Hosting

  • Deploy AI systems within Azure-based environments, ensuring accessibility and security

  • Build and maintain evaluation pipelines to monitor performance and quality

  • Implement evaluation frameworks covering performance, compliance, and ethical AI use

Collaboration & Iteration

  • Collaborate closely with the Innovation Team to refine requirements and priorities

  • Iterate solutions based on feedback from internal stakeholders

  • Support multiple AI builds in parallel throughout the contract period


Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience Required: Minimum 3–6 years of professional experience in AI engineering, machine learning engineering, or related roles

  • Strong hands-on experience in Python development

  • Proven experience building and deploying AI-powered systems in production environments

  • Advanced experience with vector databases, multi-step or advanced RAG pipelines, and context-aware systems

  • Hands-on experience with AI/LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI or similar platforms)

  • Strong working knowledge of Git/GitHub for version control and CI/CD workflows

  • Demonstrated experience deploying scalable solutions within Microsoft Azure

  • Solid understanding of schema design, structured outputs, and metadata management

  • Ability to work independently with clearly defined requirements and tight timelines

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and delivery-oriented mindset

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English


Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with FastAPI or similar backend frameworks

  • Experience working in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (e.g., healthcare, life sciences)
