- Expert-level production Python: clean, tested, maintainable code. Pydantic/PydanticAI experience is a strong plus
- Familiarity with PyTorch and Hugging Face, and a solid grasp of ML fundamentals
- Experience with LLM observability/eval platforms such as Langfuse or xhyhwjd Braintrust
- Cloud-native and MLOps experience (AWS or Azure)
- A track record of leading technical workstreams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders
- Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code
- Nice to have: NER, information extraction or retrieval experience; Java/TypeScript
What's on offer
- Competitive salary and benefits
- Hybrid working, plus up to 8 weeks a year working from anywhere
