Company Description

SEKTOR.AI (UK) LTD builds specialized AI agents for major global engineering enterprises like Parsons, AECOM, and Ferrovial, automating critical operational workflows within 24 hours of deployment to allow teams to focus on project delivery.

Job Description

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.

Location

London, UK

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.

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.

The ideal candidate

• 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.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
