686 وظيفة Senior Applied Ai Engineer في London

The work

You'll own parts of the Xapien pipeline end-to-end — LLM research agents, entity resolution, report generation. Prototype, evaluate, ship, measure, improve.

• Build a system optimised for accuracy, speed and cost
• Design evals that measure what matters, driving meaningful improvements
• Dig into the failures and fix them at the root
• Shape and ship what's next - high ownership

We use Claude Code by default and rarely write code ourselves. The craft is in careful prompting, tight loops, sharp evals, and spotting when the agent's quietly wrong.

You

• Fluent in Claude Code, Codex, or similar agentic tooling.
• Strong numerical reasoning. Top-uni CS / maths / engineering / science, or equivalent in what you've built.
• Shipped production LLM systems — RAG, prompting, agents. The kind customers pay for.
• You've worked somewhere fast — startup or strong tech team — and make good calls on imperfect information.
• You know software engineering: you’ve launched systems, responded to incidents, designed for failure
• High-agency. You scope problems, own solutions, and help decide what we build next.
• Focused on real answers for real customers. Theory's a tool, not the point.
• Good to work with. Small team — it matters.
