THE ROLE
We're looking for an AI Engineer to build the agentic core of our product. You'll work closely with our CTO and own LLM-based features and agentic workflows end to end, from the agent framework through to the tooling that connects it to a customer's ERP. You’ll ship the cutting edge models and paradigms to Fortune 500 procurement teams.
Procurement is a demanding domain for agents: long-running workflows over messy data, where a wrong answer costs a customer real money. You'll decide how multi-agent collaboration works here, and how we benchmark it for performance, safety and behaviour.
We're building next-generation agentic systems that can manage entire procurement workflows, with a mission to make global manufacturing supply chains more resilient to an ever-changing world. That's a $3tn market opportunity.
We're backed by world-class investors including Sequoia Capital, and you'll be joining a team bringing together experience from OpenAI, Meta, Revolut, NASA and McKinsey.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own development and deployment of LLM-based features and agentic workflows end-to-end
- Develop new agentic frameworks to handle multi-agent collaboration.
- Benchmark LLMs across performance, safety and behavioural monitoring.
- Operationalise AI features by building tools to connect them to customer systems
- Collaborate with customers and internal teams to understand customer problems and design optimal solutions
YOU MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU
- Have engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies, so you know what great code looks like
- Have experience shipping LLM-based solutions to production
- Have a deep understanding of the core technology behind language models, as well as computer science fundamentals
- Have built features end-to-end in Python
- Enjoy communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
