Job Specifications

Role: AI Tech Lead

Location: London Hybrid (2 days onsite)

Tech: Python | Azure | LLMs | RAG | DevOps

Day Rate: £550 Outside IR35

Duration: Initial 6 months, likely to be extended further

Are you ready to take AI from pilot to production?

Do you enjoy owning architecture, not just contributing code?

Would you thrive leading an enterprise AI chatbot rollout built on Azure and Large Language Models?

We’re working with a London-based organisation scaling an AI-powered chatbot integrated into a core internal platform. It’s already live in a pilot now; it needs a technical leader to make it enterprise-ready.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading end-to-end architecture across Azure cloud and backend services

• Owning LLM implementation and RAG pipelines

• Driving Python development and API integrations

• Embedding DevOps best practice (CI/CD, Terraform, GitHub)

• Working directly with senior stakeholders to shape the roadmap

• Taking the solution from development through to production

This is hands-on leadership

Not theory. Not experimentation.

Production AI at scale.

Hybrid working 2 days per week onsite in London (non-negotiable).

If you’ve built secure, scalable AI systems and can lead from the front, message me directly.
