About the role

The role will involve working alongside the CTO, and a team of engineers, on various business engagements, such as client projects and internal company products. Some examples of these engagements include client scoping programmes, and PoC/MVP software development. A significant focus will be on building and optimizing Large Language Model (LLM) inferences and creating robust web services. This includes developing event-driven and request-response systems to run RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) answer generation pipelines, essential for delivering sophisticated AI-driven solutions. Your role will require strong communication skills to effectively liaise between application and product development teams, as well as to articulate complex technical concepts at varying levels of detail. Your contributions will be pivotal in advancing the company's capabilities in LLM inferences and enhancing the overall quality of AI solutions.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience (10+ years) in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, and familiarity with object-oriented programming.
  • Deep expertise in working with LLM frameworks such as Haystack, LlamaIndex, and LangChain, with a focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and text/chat generators.
  • Cloud computing with AWS (ECS, EKS, DynamoDB, Bedrock)
  • Proficiency in git version control, branching, and code versioning.
  • Passionate about code quality, adhering to best practices for code quality, performance, testing, monitoring, documentation, CI/CD.
  • Experience working in an agile framework, defining functional and non-functional requirements and sprint tasks.
  • Strong communication skills, able to communicate with both technical and commercial people.
  • Data engineering, experience with building production-grade ETL pipelines.
  • Backend web development, backend-for-frontend, GraphQL, and FastAPI.
  • BSc or a MSc in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or an Engineering discipline (STEM).

It would also be a bonus if you have experience of the following:

  • Experience working with AI/ML algorithms and data science.
  • Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Large Language Model stacks, vector databases, Haystack, open-source (Mistral, Falcon, Llama 3), and closed-source models like GPT-4 and Claude.

What we offer

  • A basic salary of £50,000 - £80,000 GBP (based on experience)
  • Flexible hours
  • Remote work or Hybrid (if based in Greater Manchester)
  • Stock options after a successful probation period
