Full time
Our client is transforming how fund formation and private equity legal work gets done. Their flagship product is a legal tech SaaS platform that streamlines fund documentation and workflows for law firms and institutional fund managers. They are an early-stage company with clear product–market fit, a deep understanding of their buyers, significant market traction and an ambitious roadmap. They are now looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help define the future of AI in the platform. This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, high-calibre team where the bar is high, the work is hands-on, and your impact on the company's growth will be direct and visible. The team moves fast, takes ownership, stays close to its customers, and values clear thinking and simplicity over complexity. Role Overview You will join the product engineering team and lead the development of AI-powered features within the platform. This is a hands-on applied research and engineering role focused on natural language processing, machine learning, and the deployment of large language models (LLMs) into production SaaS environments at scale. You will design and build models that enhance legal document understanding, search, summarisation and workflow automation, while ensuring solutions are performant, reliable, secure and maintainable in a production-grade cloud environment. From data pipelines and model evaluation to inference optimisation and guardrails, you will own key parts of the AI stack and help establish best practices for shipping AI features in enterprise SaaS. What You Will Be Doing Design and implement ML models to improve document parsing, search, classification, and summarisation. Integrate large language models (LLMs) into core product workflows, with emphasis on reliability, performance, and guardrails against errors. Collaborate with engineers, product managers, QA and customer-facing teams to deliver AI-driven features aligned with client needs. Optimise model serving and inference pipelines for low latency and cost efficiency in AWS (ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch). Develop data pipelines for training and evaluation, leveraging existing stores (PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, S3). Ensure models meet scalability, security, and compliance requirements for enterprise SaaS deployments. Stay current on advancements in NLP, LLMs, and applied ML; bring innovations into production when appropriate. Contribute to documentation, code reviews, and knowledge sharing across the engineering organisation. Must-Have Requirements 5+ years of proven experience as an AI/ML Engineer or similar role, delivering NLP and ML models into production SaaS platforms. Strong knowledge of machine learning fundamentals and hands-on experience with NLP libraries/frameworks (e.g. spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, TensorFlow). Demonstrated experience deploying and scaling large language model applications in production (e.g. fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation, monitoring). Solid programming skills in Python (preferred) with experience in building APIs and integrating AI models into applications. Understanding of distributed systems and cloud environments (AWS preferred: ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch). Experience with data pipelines and orchestration for model training, evaluation, and monitoring. Ability to evaluate trade-offs between accuracy, cost, performance, and interpretability in applied AI systems. English at a level (B2+) sufficient for daily communication with the team. Preferred Requirements Experience with legal technology or document-heavy domains. Familiarity with vector databases and semantic search (e.g. Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Pinecone, FAISS). Knowledge of prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and evaluation techniques for LLMs. Experience integrating AI safety, compliance, and explainability into deployed solutions. Exposure to front-end frameworks (React, TypeScript) and how AI integrates into end-user experiences. Personal Attributes Passionate about applying AI to real-world, high-value problems. Strong problem-solver with a pragmatic mindset: balances cutting-edge techniques with production readiness. Excellent communicator, able to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams. Curious, self-motivated, and committed to continuous learning and improvement. How They Work Teams work in Agile Scrum squads, supported by strong CI/CD, IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt), and security-first practices (SOPS, KMS). All requirements live in Confluence and all work items live in Jira. If you are excited by the opportunity to bring modern NLP and LLM capabilities into a production platform used by demanding professional users, apply now.
Non-Profit & Charity
Senior Project Manager
London, United Kingdom
£68,000
Senior Project Manager Mainly remote - Quarterly meetings London £68,000 My client, a charity that helps people within the community are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager who combines strong project delivery expertise with exceptional stakeholder management, influencing and consultancy skills. This role is about much more than managing a project plan, tracking milestones and reporting against budget. You’ll need to be someone who can build trusted relationships, understand different perspectives, navigate complexity and bring people together around a common outcome. You’ll operate confidently with senior leaders, business teams, technology specialists, operational colleagues and external suppliers. You’ll know when to provide support, when to challenge, and how to influence without relying on formal authority. If you naturally take a consultancy-style approach—asking the right questions, understanding the underlying problem, providing constructive challenge and helping stakeholders make informed decisions—this could be the role for you. About the role As Senior Project Manager, you’ll lead the end-to-end delivery of complex and critical business and technology change, ensuring projects deliver meaningful outcomes, benefits and value in support of organisational priorities. You’ll provide leadership across multidisciplinary teams and work collaboratively with stakeholders at all levels. You’ll manage competing priorities, dependencies, risks and delivery challenges while keeping everyone focused on the bigger picture. A key part of the role will be creating the environment for successful delivery: building confidence, establishing clarity, facilitating difficult conversations and enabling effective decision-making. You’ll be responsible for: Leading complex business and technology projects from initiation through implementation and closure. Building strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, business teams, IT, operational colleagues, suppliers and delivery partners. Acting as a trusted adviser and constructive challenger to stakeholders, helping them navigate complexity and make effective decisions. Facilitating workshops, planning sessions and decision-making discussions across diverse stakeholder groups. Managing competing priorities, expectations and delivery challenges constructively. Bringing together multidisciplinary teams and creating a culture of collaboration, accountability and shared ownership. Maintaining effective control of plans, budgets, risks, issues, dependencies and change. Ensuring projects remain focused on business outcomes, benefits and value—not simply delivery of outputs. Providing clear insight and reporting to support senior-level decision-making and prioritisation. Managing suppliers and ensuring delivery commitments, responsibilities and quality expectations are actively managed. Ensuring change, engagement, communications, training and business readiness are integrated into delivery. Managing implementation, transition and effective handover into business-as-usual. Providing constructive challenge and leadership across a matrix environment, without relying on formal line-management authority. What makes this role different? We want to be clear: this isn't a role for someone who sees project management as simply following a methodology and maintaining a project plan. We need someone who is equally comfortable working with people as they are working with process. You’ll be at your best if you can: Build trust quicklyDevelop credible relationships with people at all levels and become someone stakeholders want to work with. Think like a consultantGet underneath the presenting issue, ask insightful questions, understand the wider organisational context and help stakeholders identify the best way forward. Influence without authorityBring people with you, create alignment and achieve outcomes through influence, credibility and collaboration rather than hierarchy. Challenge constructivelyHave the confidence to question assumptions, address difficult issues and challenge senior stakeholders when necessary—while maintaining positive relationships. Navigate complexityRemain calm and adaptable when priorities change, views differ or there is no obvious answer. Facilitate rather than dictateCreate the conversations that enable people to reach decisions, resolve issues and take ownership. Keep people focused on outcomesBalance the detail of project delivery with a clear understanding of why the change matters and the benefits it needs to achieve. About you You’ll bring significant experience delivering complex business, technology or organisational change projects, ideally in environments where there are multiple stakeholders, competing priorities and significant organisational impact. Most importantly, you’ll have excellent stakeholder management, communication, facilitation and influencing skills. You’ll be comfortable working with senior leaders, technical specialists, operational teams and external partners, adapting your approach to different audiences. You’ll also have: Strong experience leading multidisciplinary teams in a matrix environment. A proven track record of delivering complex projects and managing competing priorities. Strong risk, financial, supplier, quality and governance management skills. Experience facilitating workshops and decision-making with diverse stakeholder groups. The ability to provide leadership and constructive challenge without formal line-management responsibility. Experience managing organisational, process, data or technology change. An understanding of business readiness, implementation, adoption and transition into business-as-usual. Practical experience of recognised project management methodologies such as PRINCE2, MSP, AgilePM or equivalent. A relevant project or programme management qualification would be desirable.
