Staff AI Software Engineer
Staff AI Software Engineer | Agentic AI | Python / Node.js / TypeScript | UK
Conquer AI is hiring a Staff AI Software Engineer to help build agentic AI systems for enterprise clients.
We’re looking for a senior hands-on engineer who can operate beyond tickets. Someone who can understand a business problem, shape the technical approach, work with clients, and help deliver production-grade AI systems.
Our work is focused on real workflow automation. Think document intelligence, multi-step agents, RAG systems, data extraction, approval workflows, operational copilots, and AI systems that connect into the tools clients already use.
This role sits close to what we call an Intelligence Architect internally: part senior engineer, part solution architect, part client-facing problem solver.
What you’ll be doing:
Building agentic AI systems for complex enterprise workflows
Working across Python, Node.js, TypeScript, APIs, LLMs, RAG, and data pipelines
Helping design architecture for AI systems that need to be reliable, secure, and usable
Joining client whiteboarding sessions to understand workflows and spot automation opportunities
Translating client needs into technical designs and build plans
Working with engineers to take ideas from discovery into production
Contributing to Conquer AI’s own product development alongside client delivery
What we’re looking for:
Strong software engineering background
Deep backend experience, ideally with Python and/or Node.js
Experience with LLMs, RAG, agents, workflow automation, or applied machine learning
Ability to think in systems, not just isolated features
Comfort integrating with APIs, databases, enterprise platforms, and third-party tools
Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
A high-agency attitude and genuine ownership mindset
You’ll likely enjoy this role if:
You like building from scratch
You want direct exposure to clients and real business problems
You enjoy turning vague workflows into clear technical systems
You want more responsibility than a typical engineering role
You care about shipping, not just experimenting
Why join Conquer AI?
We’re building bespoke AI systems for major organisations, with a focus on real operational impact.
You’ll get greenfield work, strong autonomy, equity, and the chance to grow with the company as we scale.
Location: UK-based
Working style: Hybrid / flexible
Seniority: Staff / Senior Staff level
If you’re a strong engineer who wants to build serious agentic AI systems in the real world, this could be a very good fit.
