Location: UK or EU Hybrid/Remote: Remote (Occasional travel required) Responsibilities: AI Solution Development • Design, build, and deploy AI/ML models and intelligent applications across SBS platforms, • Develop solutions leveraging:, • Machine Learning (ML), • Natural Language Processing (NLP), • Generative AI (GenAI / LLMs), • Translate business requirements into technical AI solutions that deliver measurable impact Model Deployment & MLOps • Implement and manage end-to-end ML pipelines, from data ingestion to model deployment and monitoring, • Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to ensure scalable, reliable production deployment, • Maintain and optimize model performance, accuracy, and efficiency over time Product Integration • Integrate AI capabilities into core banking, payments, and digital platforms, • Work closely with Product Managers, Architects, and Developers to embed AI into customer-facing solutions, • Support API development and microservices architecture for AI-driven features Data Engineering Collaboration • Partner with data engineers to ensure data quality, availability, and pipeline integrity, • Work with structured and unstructured datasets across large-scale, distributed systems Innovation & Continuous Improvement • Stay current with advancements in AI, GenAI, and emerging technologies, • Contribute to experimentation, prototyping, and innovation initiatives, • Identify opportunities to improve automation, efficiency, and decision-making through AI Qualifications: Software Architecture & Design • Application architecture: Strong grasp of clean/hexagonal architecture, dependency injection, SOLID principles, and protocol-based interfaces. Can design well-structured Python services with clear separation of concerns, testable components, and maintainable codebases. This is not optional — the existing system follows these patterns, and new code must be consistent., • API design: Experience designing and maintaining RESTful API contracts. Understands OpenAPI specifications, versioning strategies, schema evolution, and backward compatibility. Can own the API surface that internal consumers depend on., • System design: Distributed systems thinking — understands event-driven patterns, asynchronous communication, eventual consistency, and the trade-offs of different integration approaches. Can reason about how components interact across service boundaries., • Data modeling: Can design domain models, define data flows between system components, and make pragmatic schema design decisions. Understands how data structures affect downstream consumers and the system's evolution. AI & LLM Application Skills • LLM application development: Hands-on experience building production applications powered by LLMs. Must go beyond API calls — RAG pipelines, chain-of-thought reasoning, structured output parsing, multi-step workflows. Candidates who have only fine-tuned models or only called a single provider’s API do not qualify., • Model-agnostic design: This is a sovereign AI system. The candidate must design against standardized API interfaces (OpenAI-compatible, LiteLLM, or equivalent abstraction layers), not couple to any single provider. Must understand model routing, fallback strategies, and how to build systems that can swap underlying models without application-layer rewrites. Experience limited to a single commercial API (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) without abstraction is insufficient., • Agentic system design: Demonstrated experience designing multi-step AI systems where the model makes decisions about what to do next. This could be via LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom agent loops, or any framework — the underlying patterns (ReAct, plan-and-execute, reflection) matter more than the tool., • Prompt engineering depth: Can demonstrate iterative prompt development for complex tasks. Understands few-shot, chain-of-thought, XML/structured prompting, and the behavioral differences between model families and sizes. Critically, understands that prompt strategies must adapt when moving between frontier and smaller OSS models. Python Engineering Production Python: Strong async Python with FastAPI or equivalent framework. Comfortable with Pydantic for data validation, SQLAlchemy for data access, and structured logging (structlog). Writes clean, testable, well-documented code with proper type hints. This is a software engineering role that builds AI systems — not a data science role that happens to write Python. Safeguards for hallucinated tools, loops, partial completion, and unsafe actions. Understands async trade-offs, batching, streaming, and latency accumulation Engineering Qualities • Works within existing systems: The candidate joins a substantial existing codebase and architecture. They must be comfortable reading, understanding, and extending code they did not write — not lobbying to rewrite it., • Production mindset: Thinks about error handling, retry logic, graceful degradation, observability, and security as first-class concerns. Understands that agentic autonomy creates new failure modes that must be anticipated., • Clear communicator: Can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Can write clear design documents. Can articulate why an agentic approach is or is not appropriate for a given problem.

Note: no agencies/consultancies, must be in the UK with right to work We're building the digital infrastructure that makes clean energy work in the real world. Seventy million machines run on diesel. The alternatives exist. But the operations are complex, the supply chains are still emerging, and for most companies the transition feels risky. That's the problem we're solving. Logiq Systems builds the operational intelligence layer that makes clean energy work in the real world. One platform for fuel suppliers, rental companies, and asset operators to deploy, monitor, and optimise hydrogen, battery, solar, and alternative fuel systems — at the scale and reliability that industries actually need. We're live across construction, events, and industrial sectors with customers including Toyota, Balfour Beatty, Acciona, Sunbelt Rentals, and Protium. The technology works. Now we're scaling the team that scales the business. If you want to work on infrastructure that matters, in a company early enough that what you do shapes the industry, we'd like to hear from you. UNITED KINGDOM, REMOTE / FULL-TIME Role Summary: We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (full-stack) to develop the Logiq platform. Working closely with our Head of Product, you will be responsible for building software that forms the core of our main business, as well as defining the long-term technical direction of Logiq Systems. Who we are today: Logiq Systems was founded in 2020 and is currently a team of five. Aran Bates and Ben Lindley are the founders, two friends turned colleagues. We are both dads of kids less than 5 years old (two each). Having both worked on this for two years self-funded (although now venture backed) we are driving a huge market shift in off-grid energy. While it is one that won't change with the speed of the AI bubble - this is infrastructure and hardware, not some Al wrapper over ChatGPT - it delivers sticky and lasting change with our customers and the industries we touch. As a team our passion and mission is improving the world around us, making it better for people and the planet. Our purpose pushes us to be the force of change in this industry. Not just in environmental sustainability by making the world less polluted from carbon, noise and poor air quality, but also in creating a supportive company flexible to the realities of modern life. A company with a diverse, equal, and respectful workforce. What does that really mean though? Well we recognise that talent can exist anywhere in the UK and that people have life commitments that can overlap with traditional 'core hours'. We are remote-first: As a team we are spread across the UK from Edinburgh to London, this means we can work with the best people out there. We also recognise the importance of building a sense of team, meeting regularly (at least once a quarter) and put a lot of emphasis into team building in the 'virtual' work environment also - e.g. daily team video calls, non- work Slack channels such as one specifically for sharing the music we are listening to. Although for this role there is a preference to have a candidate within around an hour of travel to Edinburgh or Oxford to work with the founders or the Head of product in person more regularly. Flexible working: To manage the interface of life and work we operate a flexible working policy, at the start of every week we have a whole team standup and in that we clearly communicate as a team what commitments people have that might cut into the working day or lead to a hard stop at the end of the day, so that as a team we can ensure that life and work fit together. Supporting women and primary carers in tech: Both Ben and Aran fully recognise the importance of building a supportive working environment for women and parents so they can continue a career, while remaining supportive and attentive to both kids and work. This has been heavily influenced through their experience as fathers and with partners who continue to have successful careers, while sharing parenting loads. The team we are building: The team we want to build is one where we are: • Passionate about making a difference. We are pushing change through a traditional market there meaning there are naysayers, so it is very important we have strong belief in the change we are driving., • Flexible and comfortable with ambiguity. We must be flexible as the market is early and developing. You will be shaping a new offering in the clean energy industry right from the start!, • Extremely self-motivated with a strong work ethic. We are a small team and need people to own their work. We also work hard because we love what we do!, • Fun! We need to enjoy what we do, while still being proud about the quality of our work., • Humble, authentic, and honest. We give credit where credit is due. We can respect, support and celebrate others for the value they bring., • Comfortable being challenged. We believe in creating an environment where we feel comfortable and safe enough for ideas to be challenged in a constructive manner., • Curious. Curiosity drives improvement and innovation. Always ask why. The Role: As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the long-term technical direction of the Logiq platform and products, which provide real-time operational intelligence for connected clean energy assets. You will be designing and developing new products, features and improvements to the Logiq platform, delivering value to our growing customer base and the key capabilities required to evolve our growing business. As a senior member of the team, you will also have direct input into the product direction, working closely with the Head of Product to shape how Logiq develops as we scale. You will also be the champion of software engineering best practices across Logiq Systems. A few of your responsibilities: • Design and develop full-stack features using React, Python, PostgreSQL and serverless technologies (AWS Lambda, Fargate)., • Design and implement RESTful APIs and event-driven systems., • Maintain, extend and improve optimisation, alerting and forecasting models., • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines., • Ensure high-quality code through peer reviews, automated testing, documentation and adherence to software development standards., • Take ownership of the technical architecture and engineering processes., • Collaborate closely with a small startup team. To thrive in this role: We expect you to: • Be comfortable with variety and shifting priorities. Early-stage companies require adaptability, and you'll be working across very different types of tasks., • Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. You'll be given problems to solve, not always detailed instructions on how to solve them. We'll provide context and support, but you should be confident running with work and coming back with solutions or thoughtful questions., • Balance quality with speed. Early-stage work requires knowing when "good enough" is better than "perfect but late"., • Ask questions and challenge ideas respectfully. We value curiosity and constructive input across the team. We value people who bring their perspective and aren't afraid to ask "why?" or "what if we tried...?". Equally they are comfortable with their ideas also being respectfully questioned. We put the problem being tackled in the middle. What you'll need to do this job: • Full-stack: Proven experience in full-stack software development.
