This is a hands-on role building and optimising advanced language model solutions that will form the backbone of their next wave of AI-driven products.

You'll be joining a forward-leaning engineering team where you'll be given the freedom to experiment, shape design decisions, and bring the latest AI research into real-world use cases.
