Job Specifications
LLM & Agentic Consulting Engineer
Remote First, some trips to client offices and HQ
Lead the design and delivery of complex, AI-native client engagements, spanning agentic systems, retrieval architectures and semantic layers. This is a senior, hands-on consulting role combining deep technical leadership with strong client presence, shaping both client outcomes and the firm's long-term AI engineering capability.
As client demand for AI-native transformation accelerates, the consulting practice is expanding its engineering capability across agentic systems, retrieval, ontologies and AI-enabled execution.
The Consulting Engineer is a hands-on AI systems builder who combines deep engineering craft with commercial and product thinking to design, build and deploy agentic, retrieval and ontology-based systems for enterprise clients.
You will work directly with senior client stakeholders and alongside consulting and orchestration roles, translating complex business challenges into safe, reliable and measurable AI solutions.
Key Accountabilities
Client-Facing AI Engineering & Agentic System Design
You will design and deliver production-grade AI systems for external clients, including:
LLM applications using modern orchestration patterns, prompt frameworks and evaluation loops
Multi-agent architectures, including planning, delegation, safety constraints and monitoring
Retrieval and vector-based systems, embeddings, structured reasoning and semantic workflows
Ontology and knowledge modelling literacy to enable precise reasoning and data alignment
Integrations and automation via APIs, tools and enterprise systems
Prompt engineering at scale, including pattern libraries, guardrails and explainability checks
You will lead technical design within client engagements and set architectural direction across delivery pods.
Technical Discovery, Feasibility & Solution Architecture
Working closely with consulting counterparts, you will:
Translate ambiguous client problems into clear, feasible engineering approaches
Assess client data, platforms, security constraints and operating models
Contribute to framing, use-case shaping and technical scoping discussions
Work directly with client domain experts to surface edge cases and operational realities
Produce clear, lightweight technical artefacts for client and internal audiences
Delivery Excellence, AI Ops & Reliability
You will ensure client solutions are safe, observable and enterprise-ready by:
Implementing evaluation frameworks and safety checks across models and agents
Designing monitoring, logging, tracing and incident-response patterns
Applying governance, risk and compliance principles within client environments
Supporting releases, environments and handover into client operations
Ensuring reliability, reproducibility, performance and cost controls
Reusable Assets & Consulting Capability Building
As part of a consulting-led engineering practice, you will:
Build reusable accelerators, agent patterns and technical templates for client delivery
Contribute to internal playbooks, training and enablement programmes
Share emerging research, frameworks and deep-tech insights with consulting teams
Influence delivery methodology, technical standards and architectural patterns
Experience & Skills
This is a senior, hands-on consulting engineering role. Candidates should bring:
6 to 8 years' experience in software engineering, AI engineering, or applied data engineering
Strong hands-on experience with LLMs, embeddings, RAG, retrieval stacks and vector databases
Experience designing or implementing multi-agent systems or tool-calling frameworks
Strong Python skills with experience building production-grade systems
Experience working across at least one major cloud AI ecosystem (eg Azure/OpenAI, GCP/Vertex, AWS, Anthropic)
Familiarity with semantic modelling, ontologies, or knowledge graph concepts
Proven ability to rapidly prototype solutions for client validation
Experience working directly with clients in consulting or professional services contexts
