Senior AI Solutions Engineer

About Carbon3.ai

Carbon3 is building the UK’s sovereign AI infrastructure platform, combining renewable energy, distributed compute, and full data ownership to power the next generation of sustainable innovation.

The Role:

We’re seeking a Senior AI Solutions Engineer to sit at the intersection of customer business challenges and cutting-edge AI technology.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing role responsible for designing and delivering enterprise-grade AI solutions leveraging retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and inference deployment across Carbon3.ai’s sovereign AI Mesh.

You’ll blend deep technical expertise with commercial acumen — engaging customers, architecting solutions, and ensuring seamless deployment of AI systems that drive real-world transformation.

Key Responsibilities:

Customer Solution Design

Engage with enterprise customers to understand business goals and map them to AI workflows.
Architect RAG pipelines, fine-tuning strategies, and inference endpoint deployments using our key products
Collaborate with GTM and sales teams during pre-sales cycles, workshops, and proof-of-concepts.

AI and ML Engineering

Implement, optimise, and deploy models using PyTorch, HuggingFace, LangChain, and NVIDIA Triton.
Execute fine-tuning and evaluation of foundation models for domain-specific use cases.
Package and deploy models into scalable inference endpoints (REST/gRPC APIs, containerised or GPU-accelerated environments).

Data and Knowledge Integration (RAG)

Build pipelines that connect structured and unstructured enterprise data into vector databases and embedding models.
Design semantic search and retrieval strategies to maximise response accuracy and relevance.
Ensure all data pipelines are secure, compliant, and performant at scale.

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

Work closely with infrastructure and platform engineering teams for smooth deployments.
Feed insights into the product roadmap and platform feature development.
Act as a thought leader and trusted advisor to customers exploring applied AI adoption.

Technical Excellence

Develop and maintain 3–4 reusable solution accelerators (templates, playbooks, code repos) adopted across projects.
Reduce model deployment cycle time by >30% through automation, tooling, or platform improvements.

Collaboration and Growth

Train or mentor at least 2 junior engineers or solution architects in AI delivery best practices.
Contribute 2+ technical case studies, blog posts, or conference talks showcasing Carbon3.ai’s AI solutions.

Revenue Contribution

Support pre-sales activities resulting in measurable influenced ARR aligned with GTM metrics.

Required Qualifications

5+ years in AI/ML engineering, applied AI, or solutions engineering roles.
Proven experience with:
RAG pipelines (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Weaviate, Pinecone, Milvus, etc.)
Fine-tuning LLMs (LoRA, PEFT, instruction-tuning, domain adaptation)
Deploying inference endpoints at scale (Triton, HuggingFace Inference, Ray Serve, Kubernetes)
Strong coding skills in Python (and ideally one of Go, Java, or C++).
Deep understanding of vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search.
Experience working directly with enterprise customers and translating technical concepts into business value.

Preferred Experience

Exposure to NVIDIA AI Enterprise, HPE Private Cloud AI, or other enterprise AI platforms.
Familiarity with UK regulatory and compliance frameworks (data sovereignty, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
Knowledge of GPU optimisation and performance tuning.
Contributions to open-source AI or ML projects.
