About the Company

We are working with a high profile, AI Scale-Up focused on building advanced AI-driven software for enterprise environments. The approach centres on developing highly customised solutions that integrate deeply with client data, workflows, and operational processes.

Rather than offering off-the-shelf products, the team delivers tailored systems designed to drive measurable improvements in efficiency, decision-making, and overall performance. The work sits at the intersection of software engineering, data, and real-world business impact.

You will play a key role in shaping how organizations operate by embedding technology into core workflows and decision-making processes.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with customers to identify and define high-priority business problems
• Design and build custom applications leveraging enterprise data (structured and unstructured)
• Develop and deploy workflows that are actively used by operational teams and leadership
• Iterate quickly, delivering solutions that drive measurable outcomes
• Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from concept through to production and optimization
• Collaborate across technical and non-technical teams to ensure successful delivery
• Operate in a flexible, language-agnostic environment where technology choices are driven by problem requirements rather than fixed stacks

What We’re Looking For
