Senior AI Engineer - Agentic AI | 6-Month Contract | Dublin (Hybrid)
Most companies are still experimenting with AI agents. This team is putting them into production at enterprise scale, and they need someone to set the engineering standards for how it's done.
A global technology leader is looking for a senior, hands-on AI engineer to design and build agentic AI systems and define the patterns other teams will follow.
What's in it for you
- Annual Salary up to €155,000 doe, pro rata, paid weekly (PAYE)
- 6-month contract with strong potential to convert to a permanent role
- Hybrid: 1-2 days a week in the Dublin office, with flexibility across other Irish sites - Cork.
- Real influence: you'll set the patterns, not just follow them
What you'll bring
- Hands-on experience building production agentic or multi-agent systems with LLMs
- Strong software engineering background, including APIs, distributed systems and test-driven development
- Experience with RAG, retrieval, and context or memory design (GraphRAG or knowledge graphs is a bonus)
- A practical approach to AI evaluation, observability and LLMOps
- Experience with tool calling and interoperability standards such as MCP and A2A
- The credibility to influence engineers across several teams
What your week might look like
- Designing agent workflows: orchestration, tool use, retries, recovery and termination
- Building evaluation frameworks so the team knows whether an agent actually works
- Balancing cost, latency and model choice in production
- Creating reusable skills, plugins and patterns that other teams can adopt
- Working with product managers, architects and engineers on where AI fits next
