Job description
As a Senior Staff AI Engineer on our Maia AI team, you’ll be at the heart of everything we do: designing agentic AI systems, leveraging evals to continually validate their performance as model capabilities evolve, building new tools and integrations, and staying finger-on-the-pulse with the latest developments in Gen AI
This isn’t BAU engineering – this is high-visibility, high-impact work where your decisions shape the product
You’ll be driving architecture, mentoring engineers, and feeding into strategy. Things move quickly here
Requirements evolve, new opportunities emerge, and we need someone who thrives in that environment. If you have been working on Agentic AI projects and taking them into production environments – and you want to do that at scale in a world-class engineering team – this is the role for you
Lead technical architecture and design for the Maia team - working within a squad to define direction, validate proposals, and ensure we’re building scalable, maintainable software at pace
Drive agentic AI feature development - building new tools, integrations, and workflows that push the boundaries of what Maia can do
Stay ahead of the curve on Gen AI developments - trialling new models, tools, and approaches, feeding insights into team strategy and championing new ways of working
Act as technical mentor and coach to engineers across the team - raising the bar through code reviews, design input, and hands-on guidance
Collaborate closely with our Product Manager and Data Science team to translate product vision into technical reality, balancing innovation with code quality and delivery pace

Preferred experience
Deep programming background, ideally with Java, combined with hands-on experience building scalable distributed systems on AWS - you write great code and think seriously about architecture
Adaptable and fast-moving - you thrive in an environment where requirements evolve, you’re comfortable with ambiguity, and you have a genuine bias for action when it comes to adopting and championing new technologies
Proven experience working on agentic AI systems - you understand how they differ from traditional systems, you’ve built and led features in this space, and you have a point of view on how to test and scale them
Full stack capability is a strong plus - particularly React, TypeScript, and Tailwind - and familiarity with frameworks like Langchain or Langgraph would be welcome
Technical leadership experience - you’ve been a tech lead, influenced architecture decisions, and helped other engineers grow; you can communicate complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders without breaking a sweat
Don’t tick every box? Apply anyway. We hire for potential, not just experience. A member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch
