Senior AI / LLM Engineer
About this role
We’re hiring a Senior AI / LLM Engineer to design and industrialise the core AI capabilities that will power ASOS. At ASOS, AI is central to how we evolve the customer experience — from product discovery and personalisation through to operational decision-making. You’ll work on systems that operate at real scale, supporting experiences used by millions. This role sits at the centre of our AI differentiation — focused on solving deep technical problems (models, reasoning systems, orchestration), not just feature delivery.
You’ll create reusable, production-grade AI platforms that teams across ASOS can leverage, accelerating how we build and scale intelligent products. We’re looking for someone who thinks in systems, not features — with strong abstraction capability and a mindset of building once and reusing at scale. You’ll be comfortable operating in ambiguity, working on frontier AI problems, and balancing innovation with the realities of production environments.
If you’re motivated by solving complex challenges and seeing your work adopted across a global platform, this is a high-impact opportunity. Responsibilities Design and build LLM-powered systems (RAG, fine-tuning, tool use, multi-agent orchestration) Develop agentic workflows for automation, reasoning, and conversational experiences Define patterns for autonomous + human-in-the-loop systems Build and scale solutions on the Azure AI stack (Azure OpenAI, AI Studio, Azure ML, Cognitive Services) Create reusable infrastructure: Prompt orchestration layers, Vector search and retrieval pipelines & Evaluation and observability frameworks Design and implement LLM evaluation frameworks (offline + online) Implement AI safety guardrails (hallucination control, filtering, explainability) Partner with Trust & Security to embed AI risk controls by design Build reusable AI capabilities (e.g.
stylist reasoning, product understanding, copilots) Enable horizontal reuse across squads — building once, scaling many times Optimise systems for performance, cost, and reliability (token-aware design) Champion best practice in AI engineering, governance, and platform thinking Support a culture of inclusive, responsible AI development Tech stack & platform experience (core): Strong hands-on experience with the Azure AI ecosystem — including Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Studio, and Azure Machine Learning Experience building and running production-grade AI systems on cloud infrastructure (APIs, event-driven architectures, scalable compute such as AKS or similar) Proficiency in Python, with experience working across modern AI frameworks (e.g.
