About the company
Our client is a technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

The role suits an engineer who can explain technical ideas to non-specialists while shipping reliable code in a regulated setting.
What you'll do

- Manage prompts and service orchestration within a restricted cloud environment under strict security controls.
- Build client-requested features across front-end and back-end code, including interface changes, new data tables and file handling.
- Lead customer calls and explain AI concepts in plain language for non-technical audiences.
- Divide time between hands-on coding, customer work and internal coordination, with roughly half the week spent coding.
- Travel to client sites during the early phases of a project.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- One to three years of experience in an engineering role.
- Hands-on experience with a major cloud AI platform such as AWS, Azure or GCP.
- A bachelor's degree in computer science or a STEM-related field.
- Experience shipping LLM or agent systems to production.
- Solid hands-on coding ability in a server-side scripting language, a typed web language and a React-based web framework.
- Background delivering software in public-sector or compliance-bound environments that carry formal authorization requirements.
- Willingness to work on-site five days a week.
