About the role

Role focused on delivering GenAI solutions for international public-sector customers, from strategy to production, with emphasis on architecture, implementation, evaluation, and handoff within a hybrid London-based team.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver clearly scoped technical implementations with sophisticated international public-sector customers, serving as their hands-on engineering partner to build applications on supported model APIs, Codex, and other approved OpenAI technologies.
  • Work with senior customer stakeholders to identify the best applications of GenAI in their industry and to build/qualify a comprehensive backlog to support their AI roadmap.
  • Intervene directly to accelerate customer time to value through building hands-on prototypes and/or by delivering impactful strategic guidance, often in collaboration with systems integrators and implementation partners.
  • Forge and manage relationships with our customers’ and implementation partners’ leadership and stakeholders to ensure the successful deployment and scale of their applications.
  • Contribute to our open-source developer and enterprise resources.
  • Scale the Applied AI Engineering function through sharing knowledge, codifying best practices, and publishing notebooks to our internal and external repositories.
  • Validate, synthesize, and deliver high-signal feedback to the Product, Engineering, and Research teams.

Qualifications

  • Bring substantial technical consulting or hands-on delivery experience with international public-sector or similarly regulated customers, bridging regional technical teams and senior stakeholders.
  • Have successfully led GenAI or traditional ML implementations for government agencies in close collaboration with systems integrators and implementation partners.
  • Understand network and cloud architecture, including on-premise deployments, and show practical judgment about privacy, data residency, model-inference location, sovereign or regulated environments, identity, procurement, and customer authorization.
  • Are an effective and polished communicator who can translate business and technical topics to all audiences, including cross-cultural communication with public-sector executives, regional delivery partners, and legal/security stakeholders.
  • Have industry experience in programming languages like Python, Go, or Typescript.
  • Own problems end-to-end and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.
  • Have a humble attitude, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed.
  • Are an effective, high throughput operator who can drive multiple concurrent projects and prioritize ruthlessly.
  • Can work with stakeholders in the target region's business hours and travel when required for customer delivery.
  • Existing UK Developed Vetting (DV) clearance is strongly preferred, particularly for work with UK intelligence and defense customers.
