Department: AI and Cloud Engineering

Role Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Staff AI Engineer to join our team and help us accelerate software innovations for next-generation software-defined vehicles. In this role, you will be responsible for the high-quality implementation of an Agentic Framework to support our AI applications. You will be responsible for writing the production-grade code that allows our AI applications to interact with millions of vehicles in real-time. We need a "builder" who thrives on the technical details of multi-agent orchestration, tool-calling optimisation, and LLM security. You will translate architectural designs into executable, high-performance systems, taking full ownership of the development lifecycle from local prototyping to global cloud deployment. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who prioritises execution, code quality, and system reliability for multi-agent systems, AI technologies, and platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Lead efforts to leverage existing AI models and frameworks to solve complex business challenges.
• Develop agentic orchestration by designing and implementing reason and act loops that allow AI agents to decompose complex goals into actionable sub-tasks.
• Design and implement a versioned prompt registry allowing for model-agnostic routing and A/B testing of system prompts
• Engineer the privacy shield for PII redaction and the hallucination verifier to audit AI-generated actions before execution
• Conduct the full cycle of data modeling and algorithm development, including modeling, training, tuning, validating, deploying, and maintaining services (AI breadth).
• Strong domain expertise in the AI area, including LLMs, Time Series, RAG, fine-tuning large models, traditional ML models, etc. (AI depth)
• Stay current with industry trends and advancements in data science and AI technologies. (State-of-the-Art)
• Perform data analysis and offer insights to inform business decisions across multiple domains.
• Adhere to data privacy and security protocols to uphold the confidentiality of sensitive information.
