Description
We are developing an advanced AI-driven insight and decision platform used within industrial and manufacturing environments. Our platform connects to maintenance, inventory, and procurement systems, designed to turn complex operational data into predictive insight and automated decision-making. Our aim is to help factories and large operational teams move from manual processes to intelligent and automated workflows. In this greenfield role, you will design and deliver intelligent agents, retrieval systems, predictive models, and autonomous decision workflows inside a live SaaS product used by enterprise customers. The work involves production-level engineering and the introduction of new AI capabilities that help our customers optimize stock, reduce costs, and automate routine procurement activities. A key focus will be building agent-driven ordering systems, developing AI agents that gather price data, compare supplier options, validate stock requirements, and place orders on behalf of users with the correct safety checks and approval flows. We offer ownership of the AI direction for a rapidly developing platform, a supportive environment for experimentation and technical autonomy, and an opportunity to deliver real impact in industrial and manufacturing settings. Enjoy hybrid working and a competitive salary with benefits with us. If you want to build practical AI that powers real-world operational and procurement automation, we’d love to hear from you.
