Job Title: Senior GenAI Engineer (Forward Deployed)

Intro Harnham:
Harnham is partnering with a high‑growth consulting group delivering cutting‑edge AI solutions to enterprise clients. This is a hands‑on contract role focused on building and deploying real GenAI systems in production environments.

Intro Client:
Our client works at the forefront of enterprise AI transformation, helping organisations unlock the value of their data using modern cloud and AI tooling. They specialise in turning emerging AI capabilities into scalable, business‑ready applications.

Role Details:
  • Role: Senior GenAI Engineer (Contract)
  • Location: Remote
  • Length: 12‑month contract (extension possible, not guaranteed)
  • Hours: 40 hours/week

Intro to Role:
This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering and client delivery. You will build production‑grade GenAI applications, working directly with stakeholders to design, deploy, and scale solutions. While most work focuses on GenAI systems, you'll also apply core ML and MLOps principles to ensure reliability and scalability.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and deploy GenAI applications using enterprise data (RAG systems, LLM integrations)
  • Build scalable architectures including vector databases and retrieval pipelines
  • Develop and optimise end‑to‑end workflows for LLM applications
  • Implement CI/CD, MLOps best practices, and production monitoring
  • Partner with clients to scope solutions, explain trade‑offs, and guide adoption
  • Mentor teams transitioning from traditional ML to GenAI‑focused delivery

Requirements: Must Have
  • 5+ years in AI/ML engineering, data engineering, or related
  • Hands‑on experience building GenAI or RAG systems in production
  • Strong experience with a modern data platform (e.g. Spark‑based environment, ML lifecycle tools)
  • Python expertise with LLM frameworks (LangChain or similar)
  • Experience with vector databases (e.g. FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma)
  • Strong client‑facing communication skills

Nice to Have:
  • Experience with agent frameworks or orchestration tools
  • Exposure to ML lifecycle tooling (e.g. experiment tracking, model management)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Relevant certifications in data, ML, or AI engineering

Outro:
If you're looking to build meaningful, production‑ready AI systems and work directly with enterprise clients, this is a high‑impact opportunity to lead delivery at the cutting edge of GenAI.
