Customer AI Engineer

Description

Job Role: Customer AI Engineer

Team: Song AI & Data – AI & Modelling Craft, UK&I

Responsibilities

• As a Customer AI Engineer, you will design, build and deploy machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI solutions that help our clients better understand, serve and grow their customers. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will work across the full delivery lifecycle, from understanding the business problem and shaping the solution through to deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement.
• Your work could include building a retrieval-augmented generation solution that helps customer service agents access the right information, developing an agentic workflow that automates campaign planning and optimisation, productionising recommendation and personalisation models, or creating customer intelligence solutions that power segmentation, propensity, next-best-action and decisioning capabilities.
• You will work in multidisciplinary teams alongside data scientists, architects, engineers and client stakeholders. The problems you work on will often be ambiguous at the outset, requiring you to test assumptions, experiment quickly and iterate towards solutions that are scalable, reliable and ready for production.
• This role requires strong technical curiosity and a builder mindset. You will be expected to stay current with developments in machine learning, generative AI and agentic systems, while applying sound engineering principles to create solutions that are secure, maintainable and effective in real-world environments.
• You will also work directly with clients, helping them understand how AI solutions work, what value they can create and the practical considerations involved in deploying them successfully. Whether building a personalisation model, deploying a customer service agent or creating a new customer decisioning capability, your focus will be on delivering measurable customer and business outcomes.
• Design, build and deploy AI-powered tools, services and applications end to end, from problem definition through to live service and iteration.
• Develop generative AI solutions using prompt and context engineering, coding, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning and applying evaluation techniques.
• Implement and optimise agentic AI workflows and multi-step reasoning pipelines, integrating them with enterprise systems and data sources.
• Build, train, evaluate and deploy machine learning models, and define the approach for running and monitoring them in production.
• Break complex problems into smaller, testable components, and balance speed of experimentation with security, robustness and maintainability.
• Run experiments to test new approaches and techniques, and apply what you learn to the solutions you are building.
• Translate business problems into AI solutions with clear and measurable value, and communicate technical concepts to client stakeholders and non-technical audiences.
• Document patterns and build reusable assets and best practices that can be applied across the AI & Modelling Craft.
• Contribute to capability building and knowledge sharing across the Song AI & Data practice
