Role overview
As an AI Lead at SEKTOR.AI (UK) LTD, you will own the full lifecycle of AI agents for tier-one engineering firms. You’ll bridge the gap between complex customer problems and technical implementation, architecting and shipping agentic workflows that automate high-stakes operations. This is a high-intensity, hands-on role for a product-minded engineer.
About SEKTOR.AI (UK) LTD
We’re building AI agents for some of the world’s largest engineering enterprises, including Parsons, AECOM, Ferrovial and Ramboll.
These organisations design and deliver the infrastructure that the world depends on - airports, railways, energy, systems and major construction projects. Yet much of their work still relies on fragmented information, manual processes and software that wasn’t designed for how engineers actually operate.
We’re now at an inflection point, building our own AI platform and agents, with direct access to major enterprise customers and real problems to solve.
What you will do
- Directly interface with engineering enterprises to decompose ambiguous operational bottlenecks into scalable technical architectures for AI agents.
- Build and ship production-grade agentic workflows using TypeScript, LLMs, and advanced tool-use frameworks that automate complex administrative and technical tasks.
- Lead the continuous iteration and evaluation of deployed agents, ensuring high reliability and measurable impact on customer business performance.
Who this is a fit for
- Has 5-12 years of professional experience, ideally with a background as a Forward Deployed Engineer at top-tier AI companies like Palantir, OpenAI, or Anthropic.
- Demonstrates deep hands-on expertise in AI engineering, specifically building autonomous agents, agentic workflows, RAG systems, and comprehensive evaluation frameworks.
- Combines full-stack capability (ideally TypeScript) with strong product instincts and the high agency required to lead projects independently from concept to production.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a high-growth startup already serving industry giants like AECOM and Ferrovial, moving traditional consultancy to automated, agentic operations.
- Enjoy true end-to-end ownership, from scoping ambiguous customer challenges to deploying production-ready AI agents that integrate directly into enterprise workflows.
- Work at the cutting edge of agentic AI, utilizing MCP, tool use, and RAG in a role that prioritizes shipping over pure research.
