About the role and team:

You’ll join our AI Engineering team with a focus on evaluation, experimentation, and observability — building the systems that tell us whether our AI features actually work, and keep working, in production. This is a hands‑on, technical role representing Create Future day to day, working across eval platforms, golden datasets, and production monitoring for AI‑native systems.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design and build eval and observability pipelines using platforms such as Braintrust, Lang Smith, Arize, or Weights & Biases.
• Curate golden datasets and design LLM‑as‑judge and human‑in‑the‑loop scoring pipelines.
• Build production observability for AI features: token‑level tracing, quality signal monitoring, hallucination and refusal detection, and cost attribution per use case.
• Wire eval gates into CI/CD promotion paths so quality checks are enforced before release, not just measured after.
• Turn eval and observability data into decisions that engineering and product teams will actually act on.
• Work with engineering and product to interpret scores and know when a result is telling us something real versus noise

• Have strong Python skills and hands‑on AI engineering experience, particularly around evals and observability.
• Have used Braintrust, Lang Smith, Arize, Weights & Biases, or a similar platform in production.
• Are comfortable designing scoring pipelines and know how to sanity‑check whether a score means anything.
• Have enough CI/CD fluency to wire eval gates into a promotion pipeline.
• Can communicate what the data means clearly enough that engineering and product teams act on it.

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.
We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or Create Future offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

It usually looks like this:

• Call with our Talent Acquisition Team
• Role specific capability interview

  Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.
