Senior AI Product Engineer

Position: Senior AI Product Engineer

Client: UK (London) - remote

Our client - a venture-funded startup on a mission to transform compliance for regulated brands, turning what’s often seen as a frustrating, manual process into something powerful and creative.

### What You'll Do 🚀

Design agentic products for compliance: Build products that combine foundation models with domain-specific tools to automate regulatory checks, risk detection, and compliance workflows.

Optimise for production scale: Build systems that seamlessly support rapid client onboarding and expand our throughput by orders of magnitude, while maintaining reliability, accuracy, and performance.

Pioneer multi-modal compliance analysis: leverage LLMs to analyse multi-modal assets with the nuance of real-world compliance, tackling subjective and context-dependent cases by thinking beyond black-and-white rule application.

Build validation & evaluation infrastructure: Develop rigorous testing, monitoring, and guardrail systems to ensure AI outputs are accurate, consistent and explainable.

Steer the future of regulatory AI: Work closely with the CTO and product team to align AI innovations with new industry regulations and strategic goals.
