Senior AI Engineer - Agentic AI

Hybrid in The United Kingdom: LondonAI Solution EngineeringapplyWe're looking for a Senior AI Engineer – Agentic AI to join our team in London, UK in a hybrid working mode.In this role, you will design and build scalable agentic AI platforms that integrate Large Language Models (LLMs), multi-agent orchestration and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns into production-ready enterprise solutions. You will focus on creating reusable platform components, orchestration engines and governance frameworks that allow complex AI workflows to operate securely and efficiently at scale.You will be responsible for developing advanced orchestration capabilities, implementing evaluation and observability tooling and embedding enterprise controls for compliance and safety. If you are passionate about innovating with AI in real-world applications and scaling intelligent systems, this role offers an opportunity to make a significant impact in production-grade AI engineering.ResponsibilitiesDesign, build and deploy Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions from prototype to productionImplement multi-agent orchestration patterns using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel or OpenAI Agents SDKDevelop the orchestration backbone for advanced workflows including planning, checkpointing, retries, fallback handling and resumption of long-running processesBuild and optimize RAG pipelines, including chunking strategies, embeddings, vector/hybrid search and retrieval evaluation with grounded responses and citationsDevelop memory and context management solutions, including short-term and long-term stores and compaction strategiesWrite robust Python APIs and services (e.g., FastAPI), incorporating async execution, background jobs and containerized deploymentsIntegrate enterprise systems and tools using protocols such as MCP, A2A, OpenAPI, REST and gRPC, ensuring graceful degradation and retriesApply enterprise security and governance practices including RBAC, prompt safety checks, traceability and secrets managementImplement evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks using tools such as Langfuse, Arize or OpenTelemetryContribute to architectural design decisions, code reviews and engineering standards for platform developmentRequirementsBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field (PhD is a plus)Practical experience delivering Generative AI or Agentic AI systems into production environmentsExpertise in Python engineering for APIs, microservices, testing and CI/CD workflowsStrong working knowledge of LLM capabilities, including prompt design, structured outputs, tool calling and retrieval strategiesHands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI or Semantic Kernel)Proven experience with RAG implementations, embeddings and vector database integrationsFamiliarity with stateful or long-running systems, including checkpointing and resumable workflowsCloud deployment experience (Azure preferred), using services such as Azure OpenAI, AI Foundry or AI Search, with Docker and KubernetesUnderstanding of schema validation frameworks (e.g., JSON Schema, Pydantic) and MLOps tools such as MLflow or AirflowStrong communication ability to explain trade-offs around cost, latency and accuracy to technical and non-technical audiencesNice to haveExperience using Azure AI Foundry or Microsoft Agent FrameworkKnowledge of MCP and A2A protocols for agent and tool interoperabilityHands-on work with vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant or pgvectorFamiliarity with distributed systems, workflow engines (Temporal, Airflow or Dagster) and event-driven architecturesExperience with open-source LLMs or Small Language Models for custom deploymentsKnowledge of AI safety and governance: guardrails, output filtering and red-teaming practicesBackground in fine-tuning or adapting foundation models (e.g., LoRA, distillation) for domain-specific tasksOUR BRANDS
