Senior Staff AI Engineer

• 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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Full stack capability is a strong plus – particularly React, TypeScript, and Tailwind - and familiarity with frameworks like Langchain or Langgraph would be welcome
• 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
