You'll work with some of our most ambitious internal teams and technology partners - helping them get the most out of advanced AI, and turning those learnings into durable improvements across our organisation.\nThis is a builder role. You'll dig into complex workflows, identify the gaps that matter, and translate them into concrete technical insights that shape how we build. If you're as comfortable debugging a live workflow as you are designing an evaluation framework or presenting findings to a non-technical audience, you'll fit right in.\nKey Responsibilities:\nWork directly with internal teams and strategic partners to understand critical workflows, uncover failure modes, and identify the highest-impact opportunities for AI improvement.\nPrototype and iterate on prompts, agents, and workflow designs to understand system behaviour and unlock real value - not just theoretical improvements.\nSynthesise findings for our Product Engineering and Platform teams, turning real usage patterns into clear, reproducible evaluations, benchmarks, and technical artefacts that improve product and platform quality.\nBuild repeatable tools, patterns, and evaluation approaches that raise the quality bar across multiple use cases - not just one-off fixes.\nOperate with strong judgment in ambiguous environments, balancing immediate technical problem-solving with longer-term systemic improvement.\nBuild relationships across our engineering and product communities, serving as a trusted technical partner to individuals and teams alike.\nThese are some of the key components to the position:\nYou'll thrive here if you have strong software engineering and AI fundamentals - whether that's from experience in a startup, or a product focused role in a larger org. Software engineer, ML engineer, data scientist, or equivalent. Product Managers, BAs or Technical Programme Managers keen to return to a builder role. A track record of shipping production systems end-to-end is a strong plus.\nWhat will you bring to the team?\nExperience building AI applications, agents, or evaluation systems, with the ability to reason clearly about model behaviour in complex workflows.\nComfort working directly with highly experienced functional SMEs and translating their challenges into concrete technical signals.\nProduction experience with AWS at scale, using services like ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS\nFluency moving between prototyping, debugging, evaluation design, and cross-functional collaboration - sometimes all in the same day.\nWorking across every layer of the stack - Able to switch between configuring a connector in an admin panel to prompting an agent to contribute code back to our underlying platform.\nClear communication across technical and non-technical audiences - you can explain what you found and why it matters.\nHigh agency and a strong product sense, with a bias toward building things that last rather than one-off fixes.\nAI First problem solving, deeply experienced with AI tools to drive fast solution creation, able to balance model usage to maximise ROI, everything from coding to design and more. \nBonus: Familiarity with complex market place businesses. Experience as an early-stage startup engineer or in a previous FDE style role. None of these is a dealbreaker - we're more interested in how you think than what you've already shipped.\nAWS Solutions Architect - Associate (Nice to have)\nAt JET, this is how we play\nOur teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.\nBeing the best at what we do isn’t just about delivering on our strategy.
