- Build self-learning workflows driven by user interaction and transactional data
- Implement multi-agent patterns and AI-augmented automation (including RPA where appropriate)
- Ensure security, data isolation and compliance are embedded at platform level
- Develop systems for customer data analysis, trend detection and anomaly identification
- Deliver practical use cases such as lead qualification, task prioritisation and operational automation
- Build and maintain production-ready AI services across Front End and Back End systems
- Work with TypeScript/JavaScript, .NET and/or Python on AWS
- Integrate AI services with internal platforms and third-party APIs
- Implement monitoring for agent behaviour, model performance and cost control
Key Skills:
- 10+ years commercial software engineering experience
- Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and .NET
- Proven experience working with LLM platforms/frameworks (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, etc.)
- AWS experience - Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, CloudFormation/CDK (Not flexible on Azure)
- Strong database experience, including MySQL and data pipelines
