We are a fast-growing workflow and AI orchestration specialist. We deliver solutions that modernise casework, data and citizen services, connecting fragmented systems to create coherent experiences and deploying AI agents safely at scale. Our work spans end-to-end technology advice and implementation, including orchestration and agentic AI capabilities. We are looking for an AI Builder to join our growing team and build systems that solve real-world problems. We use APIs, self-hosted models, agentic frameworks and builders integrated with other technology solutions, as well as third-party products and bespoke systems where appropriate.
Our backend systems are generally built in Python, and we increasingly use agentic coding tools. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, including machine learning and AI engineering, software development, product design, architecture and technical research, and consider a range of experience levels and seniority.
The salary is £40,000–£75,000, with benefits.
The role is onsite four to five days per week at your choice of our central Manchester, central Cheltenham or London Westminster offices.
