Job description

Join a thriving digital health firm as they launch their brand-new Bristol office and scale a UK-based AI powerhouse from the ground floor. This is a pure technical play where you’ll work exclusively with global pharmaceutical leaders, building sophisticated Generative AI applications in a Python-first environment. You will be a key early hire, collaborating directly with a Lead Engineer to move beyond basic scripts into production-grade, agentic systems within a culture that truly prizes engineering excellence and employee satisfaction.

What you will work on:

Build GenAI and agentic applications (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Pydantic AI)
Implement RAG pipelines with vector databases (Pinecone, ChromaDB, Weaviate, pgvector)
Design and refine prompt and context engineering approaches
Build Python microservices following clean architecture and SOLID principles
Deploy on AWS/GCP/Azure with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
Use AI assisted dev tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with a structured approach
Build POCs and run innovation sprints on emerging AI techniques

What you bring:

3 to 5 years in software development, 2+ years in AI/ML or Generative AI
Strong Python. This is a Python first company
Production experience deploying GenAI/LLM systems
Solid engineering fundamentals: OOP, SOLID, TDD, clean code
Experience with vector databases and retrieval pipelines
Someone who loves building. You are happiest when you are writing code.
Pharma or healthcare IT experience is a plus

The Perks and Path Forward

This role offers a modern hybrid setup (2 days on-site in Bristol, 3 remote) and the rare chance to work on a greenfield stack with zero legacy code. Along with a 3% employer pension and 28 days of annual leave, you’ll benefit from a clear trajectory for professional growth as the UK operation expands. If you are a builder at heart who thrives on shipping code and exploring emerging techniques, this team provides the autonomy and high-level client work to keep you challenged.
