## Description

Norton Rose Fulbright is building a new R&D capability focused on developing data-driven and AI-enabled solutions for legal services and the wider business of law.

The AI Engineer will build end-to-end AI capabilities for R&D products, including agentic workflows, retrieval and context, agent and evaluation harnesses, and user-facing features.

Key responsibilities:

- Build complete AI-enabled product features across user interface, backend, AI orchestration, retrieval and approved enterprise integrations.

- Design and build agentic AI workflows using structured outputs, tool calls, workflow orchestration, document processing, human-review steps and appropriate controls.

- Build reusable agent harnesses and practical runtime patterns around tools, state, context, approvals, traces and test fixtures.

- Implement AI observability through traces, logs, metrics and evaluation results.

- Build clear APIs and integrate AI products with approved data, document, search and business systems.

- Write maintainable Python and TypeScript code; use Docker, Git, automated testing and CI/CD.

The engineer will work collaboratively across discovery, prototyping, engineering, productionisation and continuous improvement.

Success metrics:

- R&D products use AI workflows that are grounded in trusted context, observable in operation and understandable to users.

- AI quality is measured rather than assumed; evaluation results, traces and feedback lead to demonstrable improvements.

- The engineer can independently take a well-scoped AI workflow from problem definition to controlled deployment.

Essential skills and experience:

- At least three years' professional experience delivering production AI products.

- Strong Python, plus practical TypeScript or JavaScript.

- Demonstrable experience building AI-enabled products or workflows using LLM APIs, structured outputs, retrieval and embeddings.

- Experience building agentic systems using an agent framework or custom orchestration patterns.

- Experience evaluating AI workflows using representative test sets, scenario design, model or prompt experiments.

- Experience taking AI features from prototype into controlled production.

- Strong understanding of grounded retrieval, context quality, evidence/citations and AI system failure modes.
