About the role
We’re building AI systems for clients who need more than a chatbot bolted onto an API. This role is for someone who can go deep: fine-tuning models, deploying open-source LLMs, building agentic systems, and designing the infrastructure that makes AI products actually work in production.

Key Responsibilities
Design and own the architecture for AI-powered features across client projects, from model selection through to production deployment
Build agentic systems: tool use, multi-step reasoning, orchestration frameworks,



and the harnesses that let models act reliably in real environments
Work hands-on with open-source models, including fine-tuning, quantisation, evaluation, and self-hosting where it makes sense
Build the infrastructure around AI systems: retrieval pipelines, vector stores, inference optimisation, monitoring and evals
Make the call on when to use a foundation model API versus when to fine-tune or self-host, and be able to justify it
Collaborate directly with clients to translate ambiguous problems into working AI systems
Stay ahead of the open-source and agentic tooling ecosystem so Gunpowder’s clients get informed, current recommendations, not last year’s stack
Requirements

Real experience building agentic systems, fine tuning models and opensource work, not just prompting a hosted API
