Job Description

Referment is working with a global investment and technology firm to find a senior engineer who will lead practical AI initiatives within its people function. You will work across human capital, product management and software engineering to turn talent-related business needs into useful, governed AI solutions.

The remit combines hands-on prototyping with technical direction. You will build in Python, guide integration into production products, evaluate outcomes and help colleagues make informed choices as models and tooling evolve.

The Role

  • Identify high-value AI use cases with internal stakeholders and translate them into well-scoped technical solutions.
  • Design and deliver Python prototypes, then partner with product and engineering teams to integrate successful features.
  • Evaluate AI tools through user feedback and outcome monitoring, recommending improvements.
  • Set technical direction across models, tooling, prompt design, retrieval and agentic approaches.
  • Mentor junior colleagues and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

  • A bachelor's degree and at least six years' experience across human capital, data science or technology development, including exposure to AI.
  • Strong Python and data skills, with practical familiarity with LLMs, RAG, agentic architectures and modern AI development tools.
  • Knowledge of statistical methods; social-science research experience is useful.
  • Evidence of delivering across ambiguous, cross-functional workstreams and influencing stakeholders.
  • Management experience is preferred rather than essential.

This could suit an applied AI or data-science leader who enjoys building prototypes while shaping how a people-focused product portfolio adopts AI responsibly.
