Job Description

AI Team Lead

Ocean Technologies Group

• Lead a team of AI Engineers, ensuring alignment on goals, quality and delivery timelines. • Mentor and coach team members to support their technical and professional growth. • Drive engineering excellence by promoting best practices in coding (PEP-8, Clean Code), Test-Driven Development, code review, CI/CD and responsible AI development. • Plan and manage team capacity, sprints and milestones to ensure predictable delivery. • Own the design, evolution and operation of our RAG and agentic AI services — retrieval, embedding, indexing, orchestration, evaluation and LLM Ops. • Set and maintain standards for prompt engineering, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, hallucination mitigation and content safety. • Partner with the Data team to expose curated Druid datasets through natural-language interfaces (text-to-SQL / semantic search) and ensure quality and consistency end-to-end. • Collaborate with Product, UX and Architecture to translate customer and internal use cases into well-defined AI capabilities with clear acceptance criteria. • Champion responsible AI — bias awareness, transparency, privacy, data minimisation, evaluation, monitoring, and clear in-product communication of model limitations. • Collaborate with other Team Leaders, Development Managers, Architects and Product Owners to align engineering execution with business objectives. • Contribute to the evolution of development processes, CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices. • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and knowledge sharing — including a research-aware approach to a fast-moving field.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of commercial software development experience.
  • 2+ years leading an engineering team with a solid grasp of Agile methodologies (Scrum / Kanban).
  • Strong hands-on Python and SQL; comfortable in Git and Docker.
  • Deep grounding in engineering principles — Clean Code, PEP-8, Test-Driven Development, CI/CD, code review.
  • Demonstrable experience shipping production Generative-AI features — Retrieval-Augmented Generation (chunking, embedding, hybrid retrieval, reranking), LLM Ops (prompt management, evaluation harnesses, observability, versioning), and vector databases (e.g. pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Chroma).
  • Strong commitment to responsible AI development — guardrails, hallucination mitigation, evaluation against ground truth, content safety, data privacy and clear in-product communication of model limitations.
  • Experience with data analytics and visualisation, and comfort partnering with a data / BI team on shared datasets.
  • Exceptional communication, teamwork, attention to detail, organisational and leadership skills.
  • Ability to inspire, mentor and lead by example.
  • Inquisitive, analytical, collaborative, and resilient and adaptive to change in a fast-moving field.
  • Nice to have*
  • DevOps exposure — Kubernetes and Terraform.
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) — exposure to building or consuming MCP servers / tools.
  • Experience integrating LLMs with OLAP / SQL serving layers (Apache Druid, Apache Superset) — text-to-SQL, semantic layers, governed natural-language access.
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks and orchestration (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, custom orchestrators) and tool-use patterns.
  • Research-driven mindset — keeps up with the literature and is comfortable assessing new techniques on real workloads.
  • Maritime domain (regulations, training, crew operations) or other regulated-industry experience.

Benefits

  • Private medical insurance
  • Matching pension contribution up to 5%
  • BUPA cash plan (to fund out of pocket medical costs) and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Life assurance
  • Further Benefits:
  • We operate a remote working environment
  • Enable internal mobility by posting all vacancies on our internal job board
  • We offer a referral fee
  • Provide a culture of continuous development and growth

• Own outcomes end-to-end — not tasks, not tickets. You pick a problem, architect the AI-powered solution, ship it, and measure the impact yourself. • Build agentic systems — design autonomous loops that reason, act, and iterate. Think agents that handle workflows, not just answer questions. • Deploy autonomous pipelines end-to-end — no human in the middle. From trigger to result, your systems handle the reasoning, the actions, and the handoffs. You measure output, not effort. • Operate as a one-person company — scope, prioritize, execute, and iterate with radical ownership. AI is your team. • Cross-pollinate across CloudWalk — what you build in your domain becomes a blueprint for every other team.
