Software Engineer (Models, Agents and AI) - UK or Europe (Remote)

This is a first of its kind role that will be leveraging our novel Agent Framework to build AI agents that will be deployed to real businesses on the Honu platform. We are looking for the top technologists who are systems thinkers, with a strong foundation in software engineering, computational modeling, and statistical techniques. You should have hands-on experience with the latest technology and frameworks in the Transformers/Generative AI/LLM space, while armed with a healthy dose of practical skepticism. Note: this goes well beyond prompt engineering.

We're taking a revolutionary approach and people who bring a diversity of experience and a track record of creative solutions are particularly welcome.

The Role

• Work closely with the senior tech team and subject matter experts to develop models and agents that will leverage our novel framework and help to shape it.
• Be self sufficient in acquiring data and using it within our platform.
• Work closely with other engineers across the company to advance the infrastructure, agent framework, and platform.
• Be an internal expert on the latest developments in the wider AI space, and maintain a pragmatic approach to leveraging the newer technologies.
• Clearly communicate findings, and their meaning and impact.
• Write clean, maintainable and efficient code
• Ensure code quality through TDD and observability practices
• Containerised applications using Docker
• Participate in Agile XP methodologies like pair programming and code reviews
• Utilize GitHub for version control and team collaboration
• This is more of an engineering role rather than a data science role
