Senior AI Engineer

You are a seasoned AI engineer ready to design, ship, and own production‑grade agentic systems that solve real enterprise problems. At Diligent, you’ll take technical ownership of Compliance in a Box (CiaB) — a flagship AI platform reshaping how organisations manage governance, risk, and compliance at scale.

You’ll architect and evolve the AI reasoning layer and agent orchestration framework at the heart of the product, shaping how multiple intelligent agents collaborate, reason, and operate safely in high‑stakes, regulated environments. This is hands‑on, deeply technical work — from system design to prompt strategy to evaluation — not research theatre.

Partnering closely with product, security, and platform teams, you’ll make high‑impact decisions, move quickly, and see your work land in production fast. If you’re motivated by ownership, technical depth, and building AI systems that actually matter, this is your chance to set the standard for enterprise‑ready agentic AI.
