Senior Agentic AI Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior Agentic AI Engineer join our team in Leeds City Centre on a permanent basis. This is a hybrid role, with two days in the office and three days working remotely each week. This role sits within a newly established AI engineering squad, working across the full agentic stack. You’ll design agent architectures and RAG pipelines, and deliver autonomous agents into production to replace manual processes. It’s a hands-on, delivery-focused role with immediate impact from day one.

Agentic AI engineering is a rapidly evolving field, so we don’t expect years of experience in a discipline that’s still emerging. What matters is a track record of building real, production-grade solutions, strong software engineering fundamentals, and the curiosity to stay ahead. If you’ve been working in this space for 18+ months and can demonstrate live systems you’ve built, we’d love to hear from you.

What will you be doing?

• Design and build multi-agent systems for autonomous reasoning, planning, and task execution
• Architect orchestration patterns including tool use, memory, reflection loops, and human-in-the-loop handoffs
• Deliver solutions across use cases such as developer productivity, knowledge retrieval, and process automation
• Leverage GCP-native and enterprise-grade managed services ahead of building custom infrastructure
• Develop end-to-end RAG architectures (ingestion, chunking, embedding, retrieval, reranking)
• Select and manage appropriate vector databases and build pipelines to turn unstructured data into usable insights
• Apply knowledge graph approaches (e.g. Neo4j) where deeper relational or semantic reasoning is needed
• Define and implement evaluation frameworks, including automated testing and LLM-based assessment
• Monitor and optimise agents for cost, latency, quality, and production performance
• Collaborate across engineering and business teams to build scalable, compliant (GDPR/EU AI Act) and production-ready agentic solutions

Essential We tend to look for people with:

• Proven experience building and deploying agentic AI systems in production (not just prototypes)
• Strong Python engineering skills, with a focus on clean, tested, maintainable code
• Hands-on experience designing RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, retrieval, evaluation)
• Experience working with at least one vector database in a production setting
• Practical experience with LLM evaluation techniques (e.g. automated evals, LLM-as-a-Judge, or similar)
• Familiarity with agent frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), with good judgement on when to use them
• Solid understanding of LLM fundamentals, including prompting, tool use, structured outputs, and context management
• Experience working with cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure also considered)

Desirable

• Experience with Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) or Vertex AI Agent Builder
• Understanding of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and agent-to-agent communication patterns
• Experience with knowledge graphs or graph databases (e.g. Neo4j, JanusGraph)
• Familiarity with LLMOps and observability tools (e.g. LangSmith, Langfuse)
• Experience building solutions in regulated or enterprise environments
• Background in BPO, AP automation, or document processing workflows

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary + bonus
• 25 days annual leave with the option to purchase 5 more.
• Enjoy your birthday off, plus receive an additional 3 days of annual leave once you reach 5 years of service.
• Access to wellbeing and mental health benefits such as the Calm app, personal medical, critical illness cover and dental insurance, plus many more.
• Matched pension contribution up to 10%
• Access to our car benefit scheme
• Access to our online learning platform to continue to develop and grow your career with us
• The chance to join an innovative, fast-paced and passionate team
