3440 IT & Software Developer jobs in the UK
Requirements
Must:
- Strong background in Gen AI architecture, particularly in designing and implementing end-to-end AI solutions in a commercial environment (not limited to just LLMs).
- Solid understanding of RAG patterns, model orchestration, prompt design, and guardrails.
- Experience evaluating and implementing model families across Azure and non-Azure environments. Broad cloud knowledge across Azure and at least one other major provider is required.
- Expert knowledge of enterprise integration and middleware patterns is essential for embedding AI into existing operational flows.
- Proven experience working with organizations with low AI maturity, helping them define what Gen AI can do, where to start, and how to scale.
- Ability to assess benefits and constraints and provide clear architectural direction without heavy sign-off structures.
- Ability to operate effectively within mixed functional teams and contribute to a globally distributed delivery team that spans different time zones.
Responsibilities
- Identify, qualify, and shape early Gen AI use cases across the business. Assess feasibility and recommend the most effective technical approach.
- Create high-level architectures demonstrating how Gen AI components (including LLMs) integrate cleanly into the existing enterprise estate (including Azure and Snowflake).
- Compare model families, implementation patterns (e.g., RAG patterns), and platforms (Azure native and broader market options). Provide clear pros and cons to explain trade-offs and recommend the right fit.
- Deeply understand middleware, integration layers, and enterprise patterns to ensure AI components connect cleanly with existing operational systems and workflows.
- Guide the client through early-stage adoption and help them build a repeatable model for scaling Gen AI, supporting the transition from discovery into delivery and establishing AI Ops practices.
- Work closely with BAs, Product Owners, Data specialists, and technical SMEs within a large, globally distributed delivery team.
