We support a Hybrid working approach.  Most of our colleagues work 1-2 days a week in our London office and the rest of the week remotely. 

What You Will Do: 

• Design and implement stateful agentic workflows (using agentic frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, MCP or custom Python/TypeScript solutions) that can plan, execute and self-correct.
• Develop robust integration layers that allow the LLM to interact with our internal APIs, databases, and third-party tools reliably
• Develop and architect advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems with our knowledge base.
• Collaborate in a dynamic Agile team, working closely with business stakeholders to understand needs and deliver solutions.
• Contribute to the team’s sprint goals, solving technical challenges both independently and through pair programming with your colleagues, while also collaborating with Engineers and Architects from other teams from time to time.

• Make your voice heard when we’re discussing implementation trade-offs within the team or technical solution possibilities with our stakeholders.
