Responsibilities:

• Work directly on new customer experiences built on one of the most advanced AI systems in the world
• Collaborate daily with researchers and engineers who are some of the best in the world at what they do

• • Genuine excitement about AI - you follow the research, have opinions, and enjoy being in the weeds
• • Comfort operating at the edge of what's known, with a desire to build something genuinely new rather than optimise what already exists
• • Knowledge of Java or Golang (nice to have)
• • Experience with Kubernetes (nice to have)
