The Role On behalf of our client, we are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to drive the industrialisation of enterprise-grade AI capabilities across their secure cloud environments. In this role, you will bridge the gap between advanced AI research and mission-critical production systems. You will lead the design and deployment of resilient, stateful agentic workflows, scalable RAG architectures, and highly secure interoperability frameworks.

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 ope rationalise complex AI workflows using modern orchestration frameworks (e.g., Lang Chain, Lang Graph). 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.
