AI Platform Engineer, Agentic Interfaces

Build the evaluation harness that certifies agent behaviour against the real product, and improve the system against what it measures.

Build rapid prototypes and proofs of concept to validate emerging technology, product opportunities and customer scenarios.

Establish the engineering practices these systems need: evaluation, testing, observability, monitoring, governance, security and operational excellence.

Contribute to technical design, review other engineers’ work, and support colleagues coming into the domain.

Represent the work outside the team through customer engagements, demonstrations, industry events and partner collaboration.

Strong software engineering first. Everything else is applied on top of that.

Production experience building and operating enterprise systems, with real depth in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, API and schema design, event-driven systems, security, observability and CI/CD.

Strong programming in a modern backend language. See the note on language under “Open calls” before advertising.

Experience delivering AI systems built on large language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows and orchestration frameworks, including tool use, function calling, workflow orchestration and autonomous or multi-agent architectures, with the judgement to know where they fail.

Evaluation as a discipline: experimentation, benchmarking, prompt engineering, tracing, quality measurement and agent tuning, improving an agent against evidence rather than impression.

Ability to design solutions that integrate enterprise applications, business processes, workflows and data platforms.

Depth in at least one of the following:

Tool-surface and agent-runtime engineering. MCP servers, tool ecosystems, capability modelling, discoverability, governance, versioning, backward compatibility, multi-tenancy isolation.

Knowledge graphs and semantic modelling. Ontology design, context engineering, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval and search technologies, memory architectures, grounding strategies.

Enterprise platform depth. Oracle PL/SQL, OData, and comfort working inside large metadata-driven systems where behaviour is configured rather than coded.

Desirable

Experience with agent frameworks such as Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, AutoGen, PydanticAI, the OpenAI Agents SDK or CrewAI.

Experience building reusable AI platforms, MCP ecosystems or shared engineering capabilities used across multiple products and teams.

Containerised platforms and infrastructure automation: Docker, Kubernetes.

Experience with Azure, AWS, GCP or another hyperscale cloud platform.

Reverse-engineering or interpreter work.

Token-efficient agent design.

Enterprise software domains: enterprise asset management, service management, manufacturing, supply chain, aerospace and defence, energy, telecommunications, construction, industrial AI.

Contributions to open-source projects, technical communities, conferences, publications or standards.
