Role summary
AI Standards is building sovereign AI systems for enterprise environments, with work spanning AI safety, cybersecurity, quantum defence and on-premises deployment. We’re looking for a hands-on AI
Generalist with strong mathematical foundations who can connect models, data, tools and business requirements into dependable applications.
You’ll work across agent orchestration, retrieval, integrations, automation and evaluation. Working closely with the founding, AI/ML and software engineering teams, you’ll help turn complex requirements into solutions designed for Fortune 1000 environments, where security, governance and reliability are essential.
Responsibilities
Analyse business processes and technical requirements to identify where AI can deliver measurable value and where conventional software is more appropriate
Define use cases with clear inputs, outputs, data requirements, constraints and acceptance criteria
Build end-to-end workflows that combine language models, specialist models, retrieval, application logic and human review where appropriate
Develop agent workflows with explicit responsibilities, tool permissions, state management, execution limits and escalation paths
Integrate models with approved APIs, databases, document stores and enterprise applications using well-defined interfaces
Build document ingestion and retrieval pipelines, including parsing, chunking, metadata, indexing and permission-aware access
Evaluate retrieval quality, source grounding and context selection using representative examples and measurable criteria
Develop structured model interactions with validated outputs, reusable instructions and regression tests
Implement timeouts, retries, fallbacks, duplicate-action safeguards and recovery mechanisms so failures are visible and manageable
Compare models and tools against task quality, latency, operating cost, privacy and on-premises compatibility
Build evaluation datasets covering task completion, answer quality, tool-use correctness and unexpected or adversarial inputs
Run controlled pilots, gather feedback and distinguish model limitations from workflow, data-quality or usability problems
Apply tenant isolation, role-based access and appropriate data-handling requirements throughout integrations and workflows
Test for prompt injection, unintended data disclosure and unsafe tool execution, collaborating with specialists on mitigation
Work with AI/ML engineers to improve routing, model selection and escalation based on observed performance
Package successful workflows for repeatable deployment and support clear handovers to engineering and operations
Maintain architecture diagrams, integration specifications, evaluation results and operating guides so other people can maintain and extend the system
Explain technical choices, limitations and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What success looks like
You turn open-ended requirements into working systems with clear evidence of value. Workflows complete tasks reliably, respect permissions and data boundaries, recover gracefully from failures, and can be deployed and maintained without depending on their original creator.
Qualifications
2–8 years of relevant experience in applied AI, software engineering, automation, data science or technical solution delivery
Strong mathematical foundations, particularly probability, statistics and linear algebra, with the ability to interpret evaluation metrics and uncertainty
Hands-on Python programming skills, with practical experience using APIs, SQL, structured data and Git
Experience building integrated AI applications or automation workflows beyond standalone chatbot demonstrations
Working knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, tool calling, structured outputs and agent orchestration
Ability to debug across model behaviour, application logic, data pipelines and external services
Understanding of access control, data governance and secure handling of enterprise information
Ability to work through incomplete requirements, document decisions and take ownership of delivery
Relevant education in mathematics, computer science, engineering or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated expertise
Additional experience we’d value
Docker, Linux, enterprise integrations, workflow observability, local model serving, on-premises deployments, AI safety testing or cybersecurity. Experience with post-quantum security applications is welcome where relevant.
Work arrangement
Remote initially. Depending on business needs, there may be an opportunity to work on-site in Reno, Nevada, and/or Alabama, USA, after 12–18 months. Any transition would be discussed separately.
To apply
Send your CV or LinkedIn profile and an example of an AI system or workflow you’ve built. Describe the problem, the components you connected, how you measured success and what happened when something failed.
