Senior AI Engineer (Associate)

We are looking for experienced AI engineers who want to work with us on a flexible, associate basis — joining projects where your expertise can unlock progress for our clients.

This is a good fit if you already have your own projects or clients, but want to collaborate with a small, senior team on interesting work where AI, infrastructure, and security meet.

Role overview

You will collaborate with us and client teams on scoped pieces of work: designing architectures, implementing features, improving reliability, and helping teams adopt AI safely and effectively.

Engagements might range from short sprints to help ship key features, to longer advisory roles where you act as the go-to technical partner on AI topics.

You will typically join projects where there is already momentum and a clear need for senior support; your role is to bring clarity, unblock hard problems, and leave teams with patterns they can continue using long after the engagement ends.

What you might work on

• Designing and building LLM-powered features, agents, and internal tools.
• Improving performance, reliability, and observability of existing AI systems.
• Advising teams on architecture, evaluation, and good practices around AI integration.
• Collaborating with infrastructure and security specialists to ship robust solutions.
• Helping teams make sensible technology choices and avoid over-complicating early-stage systems.

About you

• Experienced AI / software engineer with a strong track record of shipping production systems.
• Comfortable working independently with clients, structuring work, and communicating clearly.
• Available for part-time or project-based engagements.
• Prefer working as a trusted partner rather than through large agencies.
• Enjoy moving between high-level design and hands-on implementation.
