The Role: AI Engineer
We are looking for super-talented AI engineers to help us build state-of-the-art AI agents, extremely fast. You'll be joining the most lean, talent-dense, and fast-moving engineering team in London. You'll be responsible for:
Developing production-ready AI agents. We've built proprietary agents and tools for drafting, analysing, and evaluating patents. You'll improve these agents and ship new ones that directly move product quality and customer adoption.
Context management, tools and prompt engineering. You'll ensure our AI manages its context effectively at scale, reliably handling thousands of documents while producing the highest-quality output. You'll build the specialist tools and integrations that make this possible, and engineer prompts alongside our IP experts to maximise performance.
Building a state-of-the-art evaluation pipeline. Robust evals keep AI output high-quality and objectively steer our R&D. You'll build this pipeline and benchmark performance across large datasets.
About you
As an AI engineer, you will have extensive experience building AI agents and products to solve impressively difficult problems through past projects, designs, or GitHub contributions.
Essential requirements
Expert in Python.
Industry experience of shipping agents and/or evaluation pipelines into production.
Experience with context engineering and prompt engineering
Familiarity with back-end development and Postgres databases.
Experience with front-end development (Typescript/React).
Extremely clear writer and communicator.
Nice to have:
Publications at top machine learning conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) or in adjacent fields.
What we offer
Competitive base salary depending on skill and experience.
Significant equity - we want you to take ownership in Solve Intelligence and share in the success that lies ahead.
Full visa sponsorship.
Opportunity to work with a super smart and ambitious group of people building something people want.
Private medical insurance.
Free meals.
