Join Dyson’s global IT data community and play a key role in designing, building, and scaling enterprise-grade AI systems. You’ll lead technical delivery across squads, working closely with data analysts, product managers, data scientists, and AI/ML Ops engineers to deliver robust AI solutions that drive business impact at scale.
You are a highly experienced, hands-on AI engineer who thrives on solving complex problems with scalable, production-grade solutions. You are passionate about building AI systems that move beyond prototypes into robust, observable, and governed platforms that deliver measurable business value.
You demonstrate strong ownership and technical leadership, setting direction for engineering practices while remaining deeply involved in implementation. You are comfortable leading cross-team initiatives, guiding architectural decisions, and raising the overall engineering bar.
You prioritize continuous learning, whether it is exploring new frameworks, experimenting with novel architectures, or deepening your understanding of AI infrastructure. You actively drive adoption of best practices across teams while helping others grow their technical capability.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Lead AI Engineer you will:
- Lead the design and delivery of robust, scalable AI systems and agentic workflows across squads
- Define architecture patterns for orchestration, multi-step reasoning, tool use, and agent coordination
- Set and enforce standards for context engineering, including prompt design, retrieval augmentation, grounding, and memory systems
- Oversee the development of modular, reusable APIs, services, and integration layers that enable enterprise AI delivery
- Establish evaluation frameworks, quality gates, and continuous improvement loops to ensure system reliability and performance
- Own production monitoring and operational excellence for AI systems, including tracing, observability, debugging, and incident response patterns
- Lead technical decomposition of complex and ambiguous business problems into well-scoped, solvable AI engineering workstreams
- Mentor and guide engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical planning, and best practice adoption
- Collaborate closely with Data Science, AI/ML Ops, Platform, and Product teams to ensure scalable, secure, and governed delivery
- Define reusable components, frameworks, and engineering standards that accelerate AI solution delivery across teams
- Partner with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable AI architectures and solutions
- Share learnings, develop standards, and educate the wider business on responsible and effective use of AI

Dyson Insights
What We Do
At Dyson we are focused on solving the problems that others have ignored; solving them first using our technology and ingenuity. In order to achieve this we need to pioneer technologies that are different and authentic. This is the core of what we do and who we are. We must strive to create the future, every single day by developing new things, different things, things that go against the grain with a diverse and global team of ingenious minds. Dyson employs over 14,000 people and is present in more than 80 countries. And while we are growing fast we want Dyson to remain a start-up in spirit with the freedom of experimentation and learning, constantly reinventing our products as well as reinventing how we work, how we sell and how we support our owners. At the same time we are working through the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson Award and Dyson Institute to inspire future engineers and pioneering a new approach to engineering education. Underlining everything we do in this diverse environment is the need to always show respect, supporting each other as one team to overcome whatever challenges we encounter. We drive empowerment, development and equality in an inclusive environment for our people around the world. The future doesn’t just happen, we look to make it happen, to achieve leaps through pioneering new ideas
