Software Research Engineer - Retrieval Agentic AI NLP LLM

Software Research Engineer – Retrieval / Agentic AI / NLP / LLM We are currently partnered with a research-driven technology organisation developing novel knowledge retrieval and agentic AI technologies. This role sits within a highly collaborative research and engineering environment, bridging AI research with production-grade software architecture and supporting the development of research prototypes and production-ready services. Key responsibilities

• Collaborate with researchers to design and develop high-quality research prototypes and production-ready services.
• Bridge abstract AI research and production-grade software architecture.
• Develop prototypes and production systems for next-generation knowledge retrieval and agentic AI technologies.
• Work on technologies including hybrid GraphRAG with late interactions, knowledge agents, dynamic context compression, efficient agent memory, and goal and state management for long-horizon reasoning and planning. Key requirements
• Degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or another mathematical discipline.
• At least 3 years of project experience in software engineering.
• Strong Python, Docker, and Git experience.
• Knowledge of Knowledge Graphs and Graph Databases.
• Knowledge of LLM and agent-related technologies, including hallucination handling, knowledge distillation, memory, skills, reasoning, and planning.
• Knowledge of modern multi-modal ingestion frameworks.
