Apply for the Artificial Intelligence Engineer
Location: Greater London
Job Description:

A well‑funded industrial AI scale‑up is hiring a Senior AI Software Engineer as they expand their platform and respond to growing customer demand. They’re building technology that turns messy manufacturing data into structured insight — helping factories understand and improve how things are made. With a rising workload, they’re adding a hands‑on engineer to accelerate delivery.

The Role

  • Build and ship AI features that transform unstructured operational data into trustworthy, structured knowledge for manufacturers.
  • Extend and maintain their knowledge graph platform, including adding a time dimension — a core technical challenge.
  • Design and implement RAG and agentic systems that work reliably in industrial environments.
  • Own end-to-end delivery: ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, ontology adjustments, deployment and monitoring.
  • Work closely with a small engineering team (backend, frontend, architecture) to bring AI capabilities into production quickly.
  • Tackle a 40-item AI backlog and help define how AI is built and scaled inside the organisation.

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong Python engineering skills with experience delivering production AI systems (assumed FastAPI/Flask familiarity).
  • Practical experience working with structured and unstructured data — beyond notebooks and prototypes.
  • Understanding of RAG, embedding retrieval algorithms, self‑refinement patterns and knowledge graph integration.
  • Familiarity with Neo4j or graph databases and cloud deployment environments.

What’s On Offer

  • Hybrid London with periodic Prague visits.
  • Small, focused team with direct ownership and fast decision‑making.
  • Work on applied AI challenges that matter.

Screening Questions

  • What production systems have you built that work with unstructured or mixed‑format data?
  • Describe your experience with RAG, retrieval algorithms or knowledge graph integrations.
  • Have you worked on systems requiring ontology or schema adjustments across different environments?
