We’re partnering with an AI-focused consultancy to appoint five experienced AI Platform Engineers for a major platform programme within a high-traffic, heavily regulated consumer environment.

This is an opportunity to help create the shared foundation behind an organisation’s AI capabilities. You’ll build a scalable platform that product and engineering teams can use by default, with the governance, resilience and cost control required within a regulated business.

Positions are available at Principal, Senior and Mid-Level, with responsibilities and expectations tailored to each level.

The Opportunity

You’ll work across three core areas of the AI platform:

• Inference control:
  Developing the gateway and routing layer connecting engineering teams to multiple LLM providers, including resilient failover and load-shedding capabilities.
• Orchestration and capability lifecycle:
  Building tools that allow teams to register, discover, manage and reuse AI capabilities and agents.
• Trust, safety and governance:
  Embedding access controls, audit trails, guardrails and cost attribution throughout the platform.
