• We require you to be a graduate (undergraduate or postgraduate) with a technical academic background in artificial intelligence, computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
• We require you to be confident with n8n and git, including branches, commits and pull requests, and to already build with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar.
• We require you to be highly proficient in business-level English, as the role includes client-facing and business development elements.

Responsibilities:

• Follow our build standards, design and maintain database schemas, migrations and queries for the systems you work on.
• Diagnose and fix failing or silently misbehaving workflows and contribute to our catalogue of known failure modes.
• Write, test and iterate on prompts that generate client-facing content such as reports, proposals and bulletins.
• Build retrieval and knowledge-base features, including document ingestion, chunking, vector search and citation.
• Evaluate model outputs against expected results, build regression harnesses, and track cost and token usage.
• Use AI coding assistants as a core part of daily work and learn to direct them effectively.
• Work with Azure services that host our platform, including container apps, Key Vault, Blob Storage, Azure OpenAI and PostgreSQL.
• Build and document API and webhook contracts for the front-end developer to consume.
• Assist with platform operations, including monitoring, backups, incident response and post-incident write-ups.

• Keep up to date with developments in language models, agentic tooling and automation platforms, and bring ideas for how we can use them.
