• Proven experience building applications with LLMs, including prompt design, tool usage, structured outputs and performance optimisation
• Experience developing AI agents and orchestrating complex workflows
• Knowledge of RAG architectures, vector search and contextual AI techniques
• Experience integrating with APIs, enterprise platforms and cloud services

• Knowledge of MLOps, model lifecycle management and deployment practices
• Previous experience delivering AI solutions within people, talent or workforce-focused environments

This is an excellent opportunity for a contractor who enjoys building practical AI solutions, working with emerging technologies, and helping shape how organisations adopt intelligent systems at scale.
