We Are Hiring Across Two Tracks

We are currently hiring for both:

• Senior Manager (GenAI Team Lead / Leadership Track)

• GenAI / LLM engineering
• Product thinking and solution design
• Business and operational impact

You will work on building and deploying AI applications used in real-world workflows, helping transform internal processes through scalable, measurable AI solutions.

For senior candidates, there is a clear opportunity to define strategy, own roadmap, and lead a growing GenAI function.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy AI / GenAI applications using modern frameworks

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate needs into AI-driven solutions
• Evaluate and improve models across quality, safety, cost, and performance
• Integrate AI features into internal platforms alongside engineering and product teams

• Solid understanding of LLM architecture and evaluation, including:
• grounding and hallucination control
• latency and cost optimisation
• testing and iterative improvement
• Experience building and deploying production-grade AI systems
• Ability to operate across data, engineering, and product layers

Profile Requirements

• Experience delivering real-world AI / ML solutions (not purely theoretical or research-only)
• Strong ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
• Excellent communication skills - able to translate between technical and business stakeholders
• Proven track record of ownership and delivery

For Senior Manager Track:

• Experience leading AI, data, or technology initiatives or teams
• Strong stakeholder management and program ownership capability
• Ability to drive strategy, roadmap, and execution simultaneously

Highly Relevant Experience

• Experience applying AI solutions within Human Capital / HR domains (e.g. recruiting, learning, people analytics)
• Exposure to AI-enabled internal tools or enterprise platforms
• Familiarity with modern development and productivity tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code or similar)
