Who we are
Purpose of the job / project
We are hiring an AI Engineer to help strengthen LNDS’s AI capabilities and enhance our services through the practical use of AI. The role focuses on building AI-powered tools, agents, and workflows that improve how services are delivered to partners, making them faster, more efficient, and more scalable. The position also contributes to reducing operational overhead and enabling teams to focus on higher-value activities, while supporting long-term AI readiness across the organisation.
As an AI Engineer, you will be part of the DataOps team and work closely with the service delivery team to design and implement AI-powered solutions that enhance LNDS services offered to partners. This includes:
• integrating LLMs and other AI technologies into service workflows
• building internal tools and agents
• improving how teams deliver, combine, and scale services.
You will work in a GNU Linux/Unix-first, FOSS-oriented environment and contribute through disciplined engineering, careful experimentation, and clear documentation. The role focuses on applied AI engineering: turning real operational and service needs into practical, reliable solutions rather than developing models from scratch.
