Shape the Future of AI Innovation
Move beyond delivery work into structured R&D where your technical insights directly influence strategic technology decisions. You'll explore cutting-edge AI and automation technologies, build evidence-based recommendations, and help define our innovation roadmap.
About the Role
We're building a disciplined R&D capability to explore emerging technologies, validate new approaches, and feed high-quality innovation into our Product and Engineering teams.
As our AI Research Engineer / Analyst (R&D), you'll generate the technical evidence that supports strategic decisions. You'll research AI and automation technologies, evaluate vendors and tools, build timeboxed proofs of concept in Python and/or C# (accomplished coding skills required, but this is not a "developer" role), and produce clear, decision-ready outputs.
This is not a BAU delivery role. It's structured, evidence-led innovation.
You'll report functionally to the Head of R&D, with day-to-day coaching from the Senior R&D Engineer.
